The selected consultant will undertake topographical surveys, geological and geotechnical investigations, hydrological studies, engineering design, financial evaluation, statutory coordination and appraisal support. The assignment also requires preparation of complete EPC tender documentation, including specifications, contract conditions, Bills of Quantities and qualification criteria.
The corrigendum affects only the procurement schedule while preserving the original scope of work, eligibility conditions and contractual framework. The additional preparation period is expected to encourage stronger participation from experienced multidisciplinary hydro consultants capable of delivering integrated project development services.
The assignment demonstrates how Hydro power projects India increasingly favour single-consultant responsibility for feasibility, engineering and procurement preparation. Hydroelectric projects India continue to move toward integrated project development models designed to improve technical quality, regulatory compliance and readiness for future EPC implementation.
