hydropower projects in India


The civil works tender for a 260 MW underground scheme—part of one of the more challenging hydropower projects in India—has now seen its fourth extension, with the bid deadline pushed to 21 August. Despite prior assurances on access readiness, contractors are flagging serious concerns around incomplete approach infrastructure. Temporary bridges and over 6.5 km of new roads are still required to reach core tunnel faces, raising doubts about whether initial milestones can be realistically met. At the heart of this high-head Himalayan build is a technically demanding civil scope—spanning desilting chambers, pressure shafts, and dual underground caverns. Given the terrain and tunneling constraints, experts familiar with similar hydropower projects in India note that success hinges on meticulous sequencing and frontloaded site preparation. Yet the power house component, surprisingly, is not tagged on the project’s critical path—forcing bidders to second-guess actual priorities during construction. Recent design revisions have exposed deeper challenges. Key tunnel intersections are now confirmed to have just 4 meters of vertical separation—substantially increasing excavation risk. The design team has acknowledged this by including reinforced concrete lining, access ramps, and additional supports to mitigate interference between legacy and new tunnel alignments. Adding further uncertainty is the lack of finalized data on bridge placements. As per tender documents, these will be decided only after award, during site surveys. For contractors, this opens significant pricing risk—especially around foundation design and water crossing logistics in complex, shifting terrain. As India pushes forward with large-scale renewable energy goals, this project underscores the technical and logistical pitfalls that often complicate major hydropower projects in India. With access still a bottleneck, bidders will likely remain cautious—even as the government accelerates timelines for strategic hydropower projects in India in the Himalayan region, Hydropower Tenders in India, Hydropower Projects in India, Hydro Energy Tenders India, Renewable Energy Tenders India, EnergylineIndia.
