02 Mar 2021 CW Team

During the initial bidding round, the Aurobindo-Navayuga joint venture (JV) had quoted 4.5% higher than the EPC value set by the State government. Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd, the only other bidder in the process, had quoted 4.9% higher than the estimated EPC value.

Sources said that the State government then initiated a reverse tendering round in which the Aurobindo Navayuga team dropped its quotation 0.5% below the EPC value.

In a regular tender, a seller puts up an item, and buyers place bids until the close of the auction, at which time the item goes to the highest bidder. In reverse tenders, sellers bid for the prices at which they are willing to sell their goods and services. In a reverse tender, the buyer puts up a request for required goods or services. Sellers then place bids for the amount they are willing to be paid for the goods or services, and at the end of the auction, the seller with the lowest amount wins.

Sources told the media that the Andhra Pradesh government would approve the bids submitted by the Aurobindo-Navayuga team.
