Purnia’s airport is getting a full new terminal, and Airports Authority of India wants an EPC contractor for the building, allied structures and external development, a Rs294.05 Cr contract with bids due by 7 September 2026.
The Purnia airport terminal tender bundles the new terminal building, allied structures and external development works into a single EPC contract. The document set is serious: design basis report, civil, structural and MEP specifications, architectural and structural drawing volumes, plus IT and MEPF drawings, thirteen volumes in all. AAI published the notice on 22 July 2026, submissions opened the next day, and bidders get until 7 September, with a 90-day bid validity and two covers.
The earnest money tells you the intended audience: Rs8,82,14,966, around three percent of the estimate, sized for large building EPC firms rather than small-works bidders. Companies with terminal, station or large public-building experience will find the drawing-led EPC format familiar. The tender fee is Rs11,800 and the bid opens in New Delhi on 11 September 2026. For Bihar-based contractors, a greenfield terminal of this size close to home is a rare package worth a serious look.
Terminal construction is a concrete and lifting game. Expect backhoe loaders on foundations and external works, concrete mixers feeding the frame, and cranes standing up the long-span roof structure. Contractors adding plant for a two-year programme can compare equipment finance options before bidding.
