Nuagaon Barrage Tender: Pressure Pipe Irrigation for 1,979 Hectares in Gajapati (Rs 91.91 Cr)

Odisha is replacing open canals with buried pressure pipe for the Nuagaon Barrage command in Gajapati district, and the ₹91.91 crore Nuagaon Barrage tender closes at 5:00 PM on 12 November 2026.

Pipes instead of canals for 1,979 hectares

The Chief Engineer and Basin Manager, Rushikulya and Vamsadhara Basin, Berhampur, is the inviting authority, reference CE and BM, RBVN (GID-01)/2026-27. The work is construction of the distribution system of the Nuagaon Barrage Project through an underground pipeline pressure flow system for a culturable command area of 1,979 hectares in Gajapati district, including electro-mechanical work, power connectivity, staff quarters and survey, on a turnkey contract.

Pressure pipe distribution suits the hilly Gajapati terrain where open channels lose water and land. The trade-off is pumping: the system needs power, which is why power connectivity sits inside the same contract.

Turnkey, with the period left open

The estimate is ₹91,91,24,083. The EMD is ₹91,91,300, which is 1 per cent, and the portal shows exemption as allowed. The tender fee is ₹10,000 and bids open at 11:00 AM on 13 November 2026. The portal does not state a period of work, so the duration has to come from the bid document.

Because this is turnkey and includes electro-mechanical scope, the bidder needs a pump and pipeline partner as well as a civil team. Odisha has two other water packages live, the Daya Gangua waste water treatment plant Phase II and, in road work, the NH-326 Package-1 widening.

Trenching across a command area

A buried distribution network is kilometres of trench through farmland and foothill. Excavators do the bulk of the trenching, with a backhoe loader on branch lines and chambers, and a small compactor backfilling behind the pipe gang. The pump house, chambers and staff quarters bring in concrete mixers and a crane. Working around standing crops means the trench has to be opened, laid and closed in short runs, so machine availability matters more than machine size.
