PABR Reservoir Water Supply Tender, Anantapuramu (Rs363 Cr)

Anantapuramu district has two PABR reservoir water supply tenders open together, ₹363.16 crore for the Uravakonda constituency and ₹294.85 crore for Rayadurg, both closing on 18 August 2026.

Scope in Uravakonda

The Superintending Engineer, RWS&S Anantapur, is procuring a multi-village water supply scheme fed from the Pennar Ahobilam Balancing Reservoir (PABR) for habitations across the Uravakonda constituency. The portal puts the estimated contract value at ₹363.16 crore against an NIT headline estimate of ₹480.00 crore. Reference is 08/2026-27, dated 29 July 2026.

The commercial terms match the rest of this batch: lump-sum contract, open NCB tender, single cover, 90-day bid validity, no tender fee and no withdrawal after submission. The notice does not print an EMD figure. Submissions opened on 4 August 2026 and close on 18 August 2026, with online payment, challan or bank guarantee accepted.

Reading this as a contractor

Anantapuramu is one of the driest districts in the state, which is exactly why PABR-fed schemes keep coming to tender. For a bidder that means long transmission distances to scattered habitations, and a distribution network that covers ground rather than population density. Price the kilometres, not the connections.

At ₹363.16 crore this sits with established regional water contractors. A second PABR package was issued alongside it for the Rayadurg constituency in the same district, tender ID 2026_PREDSEPR_970233_1, reference 06/2026-27 dated 29 July 2026, at ₹294.85 crore against an NIT headline of ₹390.00 crore. Both come from the same Superintending Engineer, draw on the same reservoir and close on the same day, so local bidding capacity is being asked to stretch across two schemes at once.

The Rayadurg notice prints its headline as Est.Rs.390.00 Lakhs, which is an authority typo. Every other package in this batch quotes crores at the same ratio to the portal value, and ₹390 lakh would not cover a single transmission main, so read it as crores.

Plant the job will need

Pipeline length dominates the bill of quantities. Backhoe loaders handle the shallow village reaches and excavators the deeper transmission trenches, with breakers needed wherever the weathered granite of the Anantapuramu plateau comes up close to surface.

Tippers move spoil and bedding, compactors close trenches in layers and reinstate the road surface, and cranes lower the larger-diameter pipe into position. Pump houses, sumps and overhead service reservoirs bring concrete mixers and modest batching capacity to each node. Water tankers for curing are worth planning as a line item on a job in this rainfall belt.
