Orders Secured: What Was Reported
Bajel Projects has secured at least two separate orders — one for a GIS substation in Mumbai and one for a transmission project in Gujarat — according to reports published between 27 and 29 October 2026. The reported contract values differ significantly across outlets. Construction World India, reporting on 29 October 2026, cited the Mumbai GIS substation order at Rs 2 billion (approximately Rs 200 crore). Manufacturing Today India, reporting on 27 October 2026, put a Gujarat transmission order at Rs 1,500 crore. Megaproject.com, reporting on 28 October 2026, cited a transmission order win valued at $157.6 million (approximately Rs 1,320 crore at prevailing exchange rates). It is not confirmed from the available headlines whether the Megaproject.com and Manufacturing Today India figures refer to the same order or to distinct contracts. Suppliers and contractors should treat the aggregate value as reported at between Rs 200 crore and Rs 1,500 crore across the individual awards, and verify scope directly.

Construction Projects Pipeline in India: The Broader Context
Projects India tracks 10,399 live projects in the Other Construction Projects sub-sector, of which three were added in the past 90 days. The pipeline is heavily weighted towards early-stage activity: 6,738 projects are currently Under Approvals, 1,449 are at the Planning stage, and 381 are at Early or Announced stage. Only 1,492 have reached Construction Started, and 179 are recorded as Completed. This stage distribution signals a substantial volume of future contract opportunities still working through approvals, representing a forward pipeline for EPC contractors, equipment suppliers and specialist sub-contractors.
Geographically, Maharashtra leads the sub-sector with 1,444 tracked projects — the largest state count — followed by Karnataka (1,059), Madhya Pradesh (643), Andhra Pradesh (558), Bihar (534) and Tamil Nadu (518). The Mumbai GIS substation order sits within Maharashtra, already the most active state for construction projects by volume in Projects India's records. Suppliers already active in Maharashtra are therefore well-positioned relative to where new awards are emerging. The Gujarat transmission project falls outside the top-six list by count, but Gujarat's infrastructure and power sector activity is reflected in the type of large-value transmission orders now being placed.

Recent Projects Entering Construction
Several notable projects have recently moved to the Construction Started stage in this sub-sector, illustrating the breadth of civil and building activity running in parallel with power infrastructure awards. These include the K K Lake City (Phase I) residential and commercial project at Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, promoted by K K Asset Plus Private Limited at Rs 14,409 crore; a Medical College and Hospital project at Itki, Ranchi, Jharkhand, promoted by Azim Premji Foundation at Rs 736 crore; and the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirtha Kshetra at Punauradham, Sitamarhi, Bihar, promoted by Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation at Rs 888.38 crore. Factory building projects by Badve Engineering Limited and Tata Toyo Radiator Limited, both at Chakan, Pune, Maharashtra, have also entered the Construction Started stage. The range of project types — residential, medical, religious, industrial — underlines the diverse procurement activity open to contractors across the sub-sector.

What this means for suppliers and contractors
The Bajel Projects awards confirm continued investment in power transmission and substation infrastructure in western India, with Mumbai and Gujarat as active locations. For suppliers of GIS equipment, switchgear, transformers and cabling, these orders signal near-term procurement activity from Bajel Projects as the EPC contractor. The value uncertainty across outlets — ranging from Rs 200 crore for the Mumbai substation alone to Rs 1,500 crore for the Gujarat transmission scope — means suppliers should seek direct clarification on contract boundaries before committing bid resources.
More broadly, the stage distribution of the 10,399-project Other Construction Projects pipeline — with 6,738 projects Under Approvals — points to a large volume of contracts that have not yet been tendered. Maharashtra's 1,444 tracked projects make it the priority state for contractors maintaining a regional presence. Projects India currently records zero open India tenders in the Construction Projects sector, making proactive project tracking rather than tender-response the primary route to early engagement.
