]]> Andhra Pradesh has recently withdrawn the Polavaram-Banakacherla project and introduced a new initiative called the Polavaram-Nallamala Link Project. A tender notice has been issued to prepare the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for this construction. The state’s Water Resources Department has invited e-procurement tenders, following all statutory clearances and CWSC guidelines. The project is being developed under the EPC turnkey system, with Rs 7.68 crore allocated over 12 months. Tender submissions are open until next month.

Earlier, Andhra Pradesh had planned the Polavaram-Banakacherla Link Project with an estimated cost of Rs 80,000 crore. Telangana strongly opposed this plan, stating it would harm state interests. The government resolved not to release any portion of its Godavari share. Legal and administrative measures were initiated to block the project. Meetings with central ministers and MPs were conducted to convey objections.

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar personally met Union Minister CR Patil in Delhi. They also briefed party MLAs with a detailed presentation, highlighting the project’s potential violations. The Centre subsequently rejected Andhra Pradesh’s environmental clearance applications for the original project.

Despite previous cancellations, Andhra Pradesh renamed the project and revived it as Polavaram-Nallamala Link Project. Tenders have been invited for DPR preparation, prompting Telangana to prepare countermeasures. The state has affirmed it will prevent the project from proceeding under any circumstances.

]]> Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured multiple power transmission and distribution projects in the Middle East, valued between Rs 2,500 crore and Rs 5,000 crore. The company announced the orders in a regulatory filing on Monday.

One key project involves engineering, procurement, and construction of a 400 kV substation in the UAE. This substation will strengthen the power grid interconnection among Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member countries. It will ensure better utilisation of generation capacity and improve grid resilience.

In Saudi Arabia, L&T has won a turnkey contract to build 380 kV overhead transmission lines. These lines will support the integration of renewable energy power plants, aligning with the kingdom’s sustainable energy goals. The company also received orders to construct several 132 kV substations across the Middle East to meet growing electricity demand.

L&T, a $30 billion Indian multinational, operates across infrastructure, hi-tech manufacturing, and services. The company is recognized globally for its engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) expertise. These new contracts will further expand its presence in the Middle East energy sector.
