Manjeera gets a ₹551-crore tender, not a plant
HMWSSB has invited bids for a proposed 232 MLD treatment plant and 1,700-mm pipeline. Work has not begun.
The Manjeera refurbishment is at the tender stage; construction has not begun.
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board has invited bids for a proposed ₹551.07-crore refurbishment of the Manjeera Water Supply Scheme. The tender covers a new 232 MLD water-treatment plant, intake well and pump house, and a 1,700-mm MS pipeline from Kalabgoor WTP to the Patancheru pump house.
The HMWSSB Transmission Circle record says bid submission opened on September 21, 2026, and closes on October 5. It describes the contract as an open, lump-sum tender with a proposed two-year implementation period. That is a tender condition, not evidence that construction will finish two years from now. Procurement has its own calendar; concrete has not yet been invited to attend.
The record does not show a selected contractor, work order, construction start, commissioning date or increased water supply. The ₹551.07 crore figure is an estimated tender value, and the accessible record is a mirror of the Telangana e-procurement listing rather than the full official tender document. The plant remains, for now, a proposal with a closing date.
