Himachal Pradesh has bundled water treatment plants for the Manali area with sewage treatment plants in three other towns into one design, build and operate contract, and the Manali water treatment plant tender closes at 11:00 AM on 3 November 2026.
Four towns in one contract
The scope is water treatment plants for Manali and its adjoining area, and sewage treatment plants at Palampur (zones 1 and 3), Karsog and Nahan (zones 1, 2 and 3). The Project Director of the project management unit at Mandi, under the state’s Irrigation and Public Health department, is the inviting authority, reference 1521-28.
The sites are spread across Kullu, Kangra, Mandi and Sirmaur districts, several hours apart by road. The winner designs and builds every plant and then operates them, so running cost matters as much as construction cost.
No published value, a clear deposit
The portal shows neither a tender value nor a work period. EMD is ₹1,31,40,000 with no exemption, which points to an estimate of about ₹65.70 crore if the deposit is 2 per cent. Treat that as a guide only. The tender fee is ₹90,000, and bids open half an hour after closing.
Hill-town plants are built on terraces cut into slopes. Compact excavators and backhoe loaders do the cutting and pipe trenches where a large machine cannot reach. Concrete for tanks comes from site mixers or transit mixers, and a pick-and-carry crane sets pumps and mechanical gear. The working season is short in Manali, so civil work there has to be planned around winter.
