Indian transmission project contracts

The latest award under TANTRANSCO’s Specification T-64 adds to the growing list of Indian transmission project contracts finalised through single-bidder participation. BVD Power Pvt Ltd, in JV with Mohan Power Infrastructure, qualified technically and commercially, leading to a straightforward financial opening on 01 December 2025. This reflects a broader shift within Indian transmission project contracts, where specific geographic corridors attract limited bidder interest.
The scope—surveying, tower erection, stringing, earthing and commissioning—matches standard requirements seen across Indian transmission project contracts, even if detailed tower specs were not shown. Since the project synchronises with commissioning of the Kongalnagaram 230/110 kV substation, TANTRANSCO prioritised continuity over re-tendering.
Single-bidder acceptance provides comfort to EPC players often seen in Indian transmission project contracts, but places higher scrutiny on TANTRANSCO’s internal cost-reasonableness checks. As utilities across India increasingly encounter similar single-bid outcomes, this award adds to evidence that competitive depth in Indian transmission project contracts is narrowing for mid-scale packages, Indian Transmission Project Contracts, TANTRANSCO, Power Transmission, Energy Sector India, Transmission Line EPC.
