Seven tunnels, 63 metres each, at three different spots in Ladakh — Border Roads Organisation is taking EPC bids worth Rs 130.04 Cr under Project Vijayak until 18 August 2026.
What BRO wants built
HQ Chief Engineer (Project) Vijayak, operating in the Kargil sector, has floated an EPC contract for constructing seven tunnels of 63 m length each at three locations in the UT of Ladakh. Short tunnels in this terrain are usually protection structures — they carry the road under slopes that shed rock and snow — and each one is a compact package of excavation, rock support and structural concrete. The estimated value is Rs 130.04 Cr and bid validity runs 120 days.
Machines that earn their keep at altitude
Count on excavators with rock breakers, drilling equipment, loaders and tippers for muck shifting, plus concrete production and placement kit — mixers, pumps and cranes for the structural work. Everything has to perform in thin air and hard frost. Contractors who already run fleets on BRO jobs around Leh and Kargil know the arithmetic: the working season is short, so machine availability decides whether the schedule survives.
Who this suits
This one is for EPC players with tunnelling or heavy structural experience, and for the equipment owners who supply BRO contractors across Ladakh. The EMD is Rs 1.30 Cr and the tender fee Rs 23,600. Submissions open on 4 August, and the RFP ships with a full set of DPR volumes and drawings — read them early, because designs at sites like these rarely stay simple.
