NTPC Limited Invites Bids For Green Hydrogen Hub Infrastructure Project In Andhra Pradesh

NTPC Limited has invited online bids for the development of enabling infrastructure and associated works for a Green Hydrogen Hub at Pudimadaka in Andhra Pradesh. The project is being undertaken on behalf of NTPC Green Energy Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC, through a Domestic Competitive Bidding process.

The proposed project aims to prepare the site for future large-scale green hydrogen operations and related industrial activities. The scope of work includes grading and leveling of land by cutting and filling soil and rock to create a stable and usable site. Contractors will also carry out jungle clearance and construct roads connecting the main entrance to different parts of the project area. In addition, temporary drainage systems will be developed to avoid waterlogging during construction activities.

As part of the infrastructure package, the selected contractor will also install streetlights and lay Hume pipes across the project site. These activities are expected to support the development of a modern industrial ecosystem for green hydrogen production and associated renewable energy projects in the region.

NTPC has set detailed technical and financial qualification criteria for interested bidders. Technically, companies must have completed at least 10,00,000 cubic meters of earthwork filling with mechanical compaction within a single year during the last seven years. Financially, bidders must demonstrate an average annual turnover of at least INR 49.21 crore during the previous three financial years. The company has also specified that the bidder’s net worth should be equal to or more than 100 percent of its paid-up share capital.

In line with the Government of India’s “Make in India” initiative, participation in the tender has been restricted to Class-I local suppliers only. NTPC stated that bids without the required bid security would be treated as non-responsive and rejected during evaluation.

The estimated value of the contract has been placed at INR 73.81 crore, excluding GST. The tender process will follow a single-stage, two-envelope system comprising techno-commercial and price bids.

According to the tender schedule, the issuance of the invitation for bids and the document download process started on May 13, 2026. The last date for submission of queries is May 25, 2026, while the final bid submission deadline is June 2, 2026, up to 1:00 PM IST. The techno-commercial bids will be opened on the same day at 4:00 PM IST. NTPC has also mandated an earnest money deposit of INR 1 crore for all participating bidders.
