Vijayawada Municipal Corporation e-auction: 26 One Town shops on three-year lease

The Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) published its 26 One Town shop leases — Sep 2026 notice (Rc.N1-122012/2025/VMC/2026-27, dated 3 Sep 2026), offering 26 shops across 7 complex floors in One Town, Vijayawada. An e-auction simply means the bidding runs on the authority-designated online portal named in the notice rather than in a room. BiddingPulse summarizes the notice — its listed shops, complex floors, schedule, sizes, published goodwill — and includes the full unit-level schedule.

The auction runs to a published public timetable. An eligible bidder records their interest by 19 Sep 2026, 5:00 PM IST, and bidding is held 23 Sep 2026, 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM IST. Registration, the notice’s pre-bid payment process, and bidding happen on the Government of Andhra Pradesh eAuction Platform (Konugolu), run by AP Technology Services (AP Konugolu), the authority-designated portal named in the notice; any successful-bidder payments follow the authority’s separate terms, and the authoritative notice sits on konugolu.ap.gov.in. BiddingPulse lays out the auction's facts; it is never a party to it.

Two numbers decide what a shop costs to chase. The first is the goodwill — the authority’s published minimum amount for the shop. The notice sets this bidding rule: each shop is a separate forward auction that opens at the office-fixed goodwill printed in its annexure, and every later bid must be at least ₹5,000 above the highest bid. Across these 26 shops, goodwill runs from ₹1.36224 L – ₹12.88296 L. The shops measure 48 to 275 square feet. The goodwill is the published minimum; the notice’s bidding rule above controls which bids are valid, and neither predicts the price it will settle at. The second number is the Pre-bid Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) — here the shop’s own annexure figure, ₹34,100 to ₹3,22,100 — 25 per cent of its goodwill under special condition 5(i) — paid online through the APTS e-payment gateway. The terms publish no refund timeline for unsuccessful bidders. They say the deposit is forfeited to the Corporation’s general funds if the highest bidder withdraws a bid or does not proceed with the lease, and if the balance is not paid within 30 days of the allotment notice. These two are not the whole cost: a bidder also budgets for the shop’s own fixed monthly rent of ₹3,784–₹35,786, set per shop in the annexure and unaffected by bidding — due by the 5th of each month with 18 per cent GST, with a 2 per cent penalty on a late month, a security deposit of six months’ rent paid in advance, adjusted against the last six months of the three-year lease, and a bank guarantee equal to one year’s rent kept valid for three years, a ₹2,000 document fee plus ₹360 GST paid to the Commissioner’s account before the schedule is uploaded, and a ₹1,000 registration fee plus 18 per cent GST paid to APTS, 18 per cent GST on the offered goodwill, the security deposit and the rent, plus income tax and other statutory levies, and a ₹15,000 electricity deposit through the Corporation’s engineering wing after Standing Committee approval, and electricity charges thereafter.

This page is kept as a dated, source-cited record of the auction's facts, becoming the permanent record once bidding closes. Every figure here should be verified against the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) notice before acting.
