Obra Ash Pond Excavation and Haulage Tender, Uttar Pradesh

Twenty lakh cubic metres of ash, one contract — UP Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam (UPRVUNL) wants ash dug out of the Chakari ash pond at its Obra thermal station in Sonbhadra and hauled to low-lying sectors nearby, and bids close on 2 July 2026.

What’s on offer

The scope is straight earthmoving and material handling. You excavate roughly 20 lakh cubic metres of ash from the Chakari ash pond at Obra BTPS, load it, transport it, unload it and level it across the low-lying areas of Sector 2 and Sector 3 at Obra, Sonbhadra. No structures, no finishing trades. It’s volume work on a lump-sum basis at ₹ 16.14 crore, and the kind of job where productivity and uptime decide whether you make money.

Built for fleet owners.

This one is written for you if you own machines. The EMD is a light ₹ 5.35 lakh and the fee just ₹ 5,900, so a single owner or a small group running a tidy fleet can bid without locking up huge capital. What matters is cycle time: how fast you can dig, load, run the haul road and tip. If your excavators and tippers are sitting idle between projects, a bulk evacuation contract like this keeps them earning through the monsoon shoulder.

Machines that earn here.

Think dig-load-haul. Tracked excavators of 20 tonnes and up to dig and load, wheel loaders for stockpile and feed, and a strong line of tippers or dumpers to move 20 lakh cubic metres within the window. A dozer and a motor grader keep the haul roads and the levelling tidy, and a water tanker holds the dust down on ash. Run the numbers on truck count against the lead distance to Sectors 2 and 3 before you fix your rate, because haulage is where this contract is won or lost.
