A new tender has been announced for a major transmission infrastructure project linked to upcoming green hydrogen and green ammonia developments in Andhra Pradesh. The tender, referenced as CC/T/W-TW/DOM/A10/26/04347, focuses on a pre-bid tie-up for Transmission Line Package TL06 under the Khammam-II to Pendurthi (Vizag) 765kV double circuit line (Part-III). This project is part of the larger transmission system planned to support Phase I of green energy projects in the Vizag region, highlighting India’s growing push toward clean energy integration.
The bidding process is being conducted through the PRANIT portal, managed by POWERGRID, under a tariff-based competitive bidding route. The Request for Proposal (RfP) submission will be carried out by POWERGRID to the Bid Process Coordinator (BPC) after completing the pre-bid arrangements.

While the project is associated with infrastructure in Andhra Pradesh, the location of work is listed as “All over India,” suggesting that contractors from across the country are eligible to participate.
The tender is being managed by Prashant Verma, Engineer (CS), whose office is located at Saudamini, Plot No. 2, Sector 29, Gurugram, Haryana. The pin code for correspondence is 122001. No specific pre-qualification criteria have been mentioned in the summary, so interested bidders are advised to review the detailed tender documents on the portal for eligibility requirements and technical specifications.
