Gujarat Water Infrastructure Ltd is inviting bids for a raw water pumping main from Kaneval Lake to the Dholera SIR, a Rs315.52 Cr build with pipeline and civil works, closing on 27 August 2026.
Scope of the project
This tender is for designing, constructing, supplying, testing and commissioning a raw water pumping main under the Kaneval to Dholera SIR Bulk Pipeline Project. Water is drawn from Kaneval Lake at Tarapur in Anand district and carried to Khun village at the Dholera Special Investment Region in Ahmedabad district. The package bundles the pumping machinery, allied electro-mechanical and instrumentation work, the pipeline itself and the associated civil works, and it carries a comprehensive operation and maintenance responsibility for ten years. Gujarat Water Infrastructure Ltd is the client, and the contract runs on a works basis.
Contractors who should bid
At Rs315.52 Cr this is a heavy-civil water job that suits pipeline and water-infrastructure contractors used to turnkey delivery. Bidders need to post earnest money of Rs3,15,53,000 and carry the ten-year O&M commitment that comes with the build. Firms working across Anand and Ahmedabad, and plant owners who hire out trenching and lifting fleet in central Gujarat, will find real work here once the contract is placed. Bid validity runs 180 days, so plan your bank guarantees around that window.
Machines the site will draw
Laying a bulk pumping main over this distance keeps earthmoving and lifting plant busy. Expect excavators opening and backfilling the pipe trench, wheel loaders handling bedding material, and cranes setting pipe sections and the pump-house equipment. Compaction plant follows the backfill along the route. Owners sizing a fleet against the works period can review equipment finance options before they buy.
