Mangampet Mining Tender: Overburden and Barytes Removal, Andhra Pradesh

The Mangampet mining tender puts ₹348.38 crore of overburden and barytes ore excavation out to contract at APMDC’s Mangampeta project in Tirupati district, and bids close 28 August 2026.

Excavation and haulage, priced as a contract

Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation is looking for a contractor to excavate and remove overburden and barytes run of mine ore at the Mangampet Barytes Project. The site is at Mangampeta village, Obulavaripalli mandal, Tirupati district. Mangampet is the largest barytes deposit in the country, and APMDC works it as an opencast operation, so this contract is the earthmoving engine of that operation rather than a construction job with an earthmoving component.

That distinction matters for anyone reading the scope. There is no structure to build here. The deliverable is volume moved: strip the overburden, win the ore, haul both to where the corporation wants them. Payment on this kind of contract follows measured quantities, and the form of contract is recorded as EPC and lump sum with a 180 day bid validity. This has gone out as a short tender notice on first call.

The shortest deadline on the board

Bids close on 28 August 2026, three days from submission opening on 21 August. A short tender notice compresses everything, so if this is your line of work the document download and the eligibility check need to happen today rather than over the weekend. There is no tender fee, and the notice does not publish an earnest money figure; the payment mode field lists exemption alongside online payment, challan and bank guarantee, so confirm what applies to your registration category directly on the portal before you bid.

Because no EMD figure is disclosed, the usual cross check of deposit against estimate is not available on this one. The ₹348.38 crore estimate is stated on the notice as a disclosed figure rather than a band, and it should be read against the tender document’s quantity schedule.

A fleet contract in everything but name

This is the tender on this board that speaks most directly to machine owners. Opencast overburden removal at this value runs on large hydraulic excavators in backhoe and face shovel configuration, rigid and articulated dumpers in a matched cycle, and dozers to push and maintain the muck piles. Drilling rigs and the blasting spread open the harder benches. Motor graders and water tankers keep the haul roads usable, because haul road condition is what actually decides cycle times and tyre spend on a job like this. Wheel loaders handle ore stockpiles and rehandling, and a service and fuelling setup on site keeps the fleet running rather than travelling.

Contracts structured this way are also the ones where a mid sized owner with the right machines can subcontract into a larger bidder’s fleet, so it is worth tracking even if the headline value is beyond you.
