Power EPC package

The WI2872 turnkey tender redefines how a Power EPC package is structured in Karnataka, combining four 110 kV nodes and associated lines under a stringent digital-compliance framework. With mandatory drone surveys, GIS mapping submissions and dual-end execution, the Power EPC package sharply increases technical and procedural obligations for bidders.
Super Grade licensing is compulsory, and consortium partners must legally guarantee execution continuity. Risk-and-Cost notices within the last six months lead to automatic disqualification—narrowing participation to contractors with clean performance records. The Power EPC package includes tower proto-assembly, foundation engineering, conductor stringing, OPGW integration, inspection protocols, ROW compensation and dismantling of existing structures without additional payment.
Drone survey rules from 2025 and GIS deliverables from 2024 push the contractor toward digital-first execution, raising operational overheads but improving KPTCL’s asset traceability. Tight ceiling-weight caps and upfront ROW payments create cashflow strain, reflecting a growing discipline trend in India’s Power EPC package ecosystem.
With consolidation of four nodes, the tender allows KPTCL to reduce interface risks and accelerate energisation while shifting execution risk firmly to the contractor, Power EPC Package, KPTCL, Transmission EPC, India Power Sector, Energyline India.
