Earthmovers, take note: the Indira Gandhi Nahar Pariyojana wants a balancing reservoir built on its Stage-II system near Jodhpur, worth ₹241 crore, with bids open till 7 August 2026.
The job
The Chief Engineer, IGNP at Bikaner has floated a percentage-rate contract to construct a balancing reservoir at RD 47.650 of the SMGS under IGNP Stage-II, in Jodhpur district. A balancing reservoir is bulk earthwork before it is anything else — form the bund, line the basin, build the inlet and outlet structures. The disclosed estimate is ₹241.06 Cr, and the tender runs on a three-cover system with a 90-day bid validity.
Built for machine owners
This is a fleet job through and through. Excavators and dozers shift and shape the embankment, scrapers and graders trim it, and a steady chain of tippers moves borrow material to the bund. Rollers chase compaction targets across the whole basin, and concrete crews handle the inlet, outlet and lining works. For owners across western Rajasthan, a reservoir on this scale is exactly the kind of long-haul earthwork that keeps machines earning for a full season.
Reading the terms
The EMD is ₹4.83 Cr with EMD exemption allowed, and the tender fee is ₹40,000. Percentage-rate contracts reward contractors who know their earthwork rates cold, so an early read of the BOQ and the site’s borrow position will tell you more than any guess at the margin.
