Pithoragarh town is getting interception and diversion works with sewage treatment plants and five years of operation attached, and the Pithoragarh sewage tender closes at 3:00 PM on 29 October 2026.
A hill town sewerage package
The scope is development of interception and diversion works with sewage treatment plants, including five years of operation and maintenance, for Pithoragarh town in Uttarakhand. The Project Director of the Uttarakhand Urban Sector Development Agency IPMU is the inviting office under an ADB funded programme, reference UUSDA/P-112/1724, on an item rate contract.
Interception and diversion in a hill town means catching the drains that currently run straight into the nalas and routing them to a plant. The gradients help you on flow but the ground works against you on trenching, since rock turns up quickly on these slopes.
The value is not published, so treat ours as a guide
The portal lists the tender value as NA and gives no work period. The EMD is ₹1,10,00,000, which points to an estimate of about ₹55 crore if the deposit is 2 per cent. Treat that as an indication only and take the real figure from the bid document.
Exemption is not allowed and the fee is ₹29,500. The notice went up on 15 October 2026 and closes on 29 October, with opening an hour later at 4:00 PM the same day. Two weeks is a short window for a package with a five year operating tail, so start on the document now.
Rock trenching and a compact site
Sewer laying in Pithoragarh will meet rock, so plan on excavators with breakers rather than plain buckets, and a backhoe loader for the shallower runs and house connections. Spoil has to be carted off a hill town with narrow streets, which means smaller tippers and more trips.
The treatment plants are compact structures on terraced ground, so site mixers and a pick and carry crane for the mechanical gear. A small compactor puts the streets back. Machines that fit a hill town matter more here than machines with reach.
