Project Scope and Location
The project involves engineering, procurement and construction of a steam generation facility with a capacity of 300 tonnes per hour (TPH). The steam supply is intended to serve a bulk drug park in the Una district of Himachal Pradesh. No further breakdown of scope, technology type or sub-contractors has been reported by either outlet.
Sector Context: Biomass and Non-Conventional Power in India
Projects India tracks 149 live projects in the Non Conventional Power Projects (Biomass) sub-sector, with eight added in the last 90 days, reflecting continued activity across the segment. Of those tracked projects, 58 are currently under approvals, 24 are in planning, and 12 have commenced construction. A further 15 are on hold and 11 have been cancelled, indicating that a meaningful share of pipeline activity has yet to convert to active build.
Geographically, Maharashtra leads the tracked project count with 27 projects, followed by Karnataka with 18, Gujarat with 15, Andhra Pradesh with 14, Punjab with 12, and Madhya Pradesh with 11. Himachal Pradesh, where this steam project is located, sits outside the top six states by project count, making this award notable for the state's participation in the broader non-conventional power build-out.
Broader Power Sector Activity
The award sits within a wider power projects landscape in India that spans conventional and non-conventional generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure. Industrial steam projects serving pharmaceutical parks represent an emerging application within this segment, as drug manufacturing clusters require reliable, large-scale process heat. Projects India currently records zero open tenders in the Power Projects sector.
A comparable recent transaction in the biomass and non-conventional power space was the Rs 62 crore EPC deal signed between Orient Green Power and Renfra Energy, illustrating the range of contract sizes active in this sub-sector.
What this means for suppliers and contractors
For suppliers and contractors active in industrial steam generation, boiler equipment, water treatment and associated civil works, the Una project signals procurement activity in a state that has seen comparatively limited non-conventional power project flow relative to Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat. Equipment makers supplying high-capacity steam generation systems in the 200–400 TPH range should note that bulk drug parks, which are being developed under central and state government initiatives, represent a distinct and growing client category for process steam infrastructure.
The stage breakdown across the 149 tracked biomass projects — with 58 under approvals and 24 in planning — suggests a significant volume of projects that could move toward EPC award over the next 12 to 24 months. Contractors monitoring all tracked projects in this pipeline will find multiple opportunities at various stages of readiness. With 12 projects already in construction, subcontractors and material suppliers should also be positioning for near-term site requirements across active states.
