Rs 108.80 crore to clear one stubborn rock patch. New Mangalore Port wants the hard patch in its approach channel removed so loaded ships can come in safely, and bids close on 17 July 2026.
What needs doing
The port’s civil wing has floated an item-rate works contract to remove a hard patch in the approach channel at New Mangalore Port in Dakshina Kannada. Clearing rock from a navigation channel keeps the draught available for fully loaded vessels, so this is core port-maintenance work, not a nice-to-have. The estimate is Rs 108.80 crore.
Built for
This is specialist marine territory. Bidders should have dredging or marine rock-removal experience and access to the right floating plant. Earnest money is Rs 2.57 crore, with exemption allowed for eligible bidders, and the tender fee is just Rs 1,680. Bid validity is 90 days. Study the seabed data in the tender drawings closely, because rock type and depth drive both your method and your rate.
Plant for the channel
Hard-patch removal usually means a backhoe or grab dredger, and sometimes a cutter-suction dredger, often paired with drilling and controlled breaking of the rock before barges carry the spoil out. Survey boats and positioning gear keep the cut accurate. It is a narrow field, but for marine-equipment owners and dredging contractors this is exactly the sort of contract worth chasing.
