Patel Engineering Limited (PEL) has been awarded a contract worth Rs 239.98 crore (inclusive of taxes) by NHPC Ltd. for critical infrastructure work at the Teesta-V Power Station in Sikkim. The project involves converting the diversion tunnel into a tunnel spillway under Package 6 and includes civil and hydro-mechanical works.
Located in the South District of Sikkim, the project has a scheduled completion timeline of 18 months. The scope of work includes the construction of the tunnel spillway, gate operation chamber and shaft, precast bridge, access road, dyke, energy dissipation structures, and an environmental flow tunnel.
Kavita Shirvaikar, Managing Director, stated, 'We are honoured to receive the LOA from NHPC for this strategically important hydro power project. Our deep experience in the North Eastern region positions us strongly to execute this project with precision and efficiency. This win is another step toward our vision of contributing meaningfully to India's clean energy future.'
PEL is already executing NHPC's Teesta-VI HEP (Lot-2) project near Singtam, around 30 km from this new site, reinforcing its foothold in the region and underscoring its expertise in delivering complex hydro infrastructure.
