Infrastructure company NCC Limited has received a major drinking-water supply contract from the Andhra Pradesh government for Anakapalli district.
The ₹1,076.71-crore project was awarded by the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Department, Visakhapatnam. The contract value excludes Goods and Services Tax.
Under the project, NCC will develop drinking-water infrastructure for the Anakapalli segment under a Multi-Village Scheme drawing water from the Yeleru Reservoir. The construction period has been fixed at 24 months.
The company received the Letter of Acceptance dated September 26, 2026, and disclosed the contract award on September 28 through a stock-exchange filing.
Major Boost for Rural Water Infrastructure
The project is expected to strengthen access to reliable drinking water across rural areas of Anakapalli district. Multi-village water-supply schemes generally create centralised infrastructure to source, treat and distribute water to multiple habitations.
Anakapalli district includes several rural and water-stressed areas where dependable piped-water infrastructure is important for households, public institutions and future economic development.
The latest contract also highlights the growing importance of the Yeleru water system in meeting the drinking-water requirements of North Andhra.
However, the company’s disclosure did not specify the number of villages or residents that will be covered, the project’s designed daily supply capacity or its operational-maintenance period.
