Ujjain Municipal Corporation is rebuilding and enlarging the Sadawal sewage treatment plant to 50 MLD before the 2028 Simhastha, and the ₹32.94 crore Ujjain STP tender closes at 5:30 PM on 19 November 2026.
An existing plant, not a new one
The scope is rehabilitation, upgradation and augmentation of the sewage treatment plant already standing at Sadawal, taking it to 50 MLD capacity. The engineering wing of Ujjain Municipal Corporation, under the Directorate of Urban Administration and Development, is inviting percentage rate bids under reference UMC-PHE/E-TENDER 213/2026, with an estimate of ₹32,93,80,218 and a tight 270 days.
Working on a running plant is a different job from building on open ground. Sewage keeps arriving while you demolish and rebuild, so the contractor has to stage the work tank by tank and keep treatment going throughout. That sequencing is where bids of this kind are won or lost.
The Simhastha clock
Simhastha 2028 is the reason this is out now, and it sets a deadline no engineer can extend. At 270 days the programme leaves no slack for a slow mobilisation. EMD is ₹16,46,901 with no exemption, the fee is ₹50,000 and bids open at 11:00 AM on 21 November 2026.
Expect to break out old tanks, channels and pipework before anything new goes up. A excavator with a breaker handles the demolition and a backhoe loader clears debris and digs the connecting lines in a yard with no room to spare. New tanks and pump sumps mean steady concrete from transit mixers, and a pick and carry crane lifts out the old mechanical gear and sets the new aerators, pumps and blowers. Keep a wheel loader on site for sludge and spoil handling.
