Bhubaneswar’s water utility WATCO wants a second-phase treatment plant built where the Gangua nala joins the Daya river, on turnkey terms worth ₹72.45 crore, and this waste water treatment plant tender closes at 5:00 PM on 12 October 2026.
Build it, then run it for five years
The scope is construction of a waste water treatment plant at the confluence point of the River Daya and the Gangua nala (Phase II), with operation and maintenance for five years. The Gangua carries much of the city’s drainage into the Daya, which is why the plant sits at that point.
The notice is WATCO (W)-15/2026-27 dated 1 September 2026 from the Managing Director, WATCO, Bhubaneswar. It is a national competitive bid on turnkey basis, with 730 days for construction.
Who the terms suit
EMD is ₹72,45,000, which is 1 per cent, and the portal allows exemption for eligible bidders. The fee is ₹35,400. The pre-bid meeting was held in Bhubaneswar on 25 September. Technical bids open at 11:30 AM on 16 October 2026.
A plant beside a river means soft soil and a high water table. Excavators dig the tank pits with dewatering pumps running, and piling may be needed under the heavier units. Tank walls and channels take a lot of concrete, so transit mixers and a pump are on site for months. A crane sets the mechanical equipment, and a backhoe loader lays the inlet and outfall pipes.
