The Bengaluru multi-modal logistics park is getting its own rail siding from Dodbele, and the MMLP Bengaluru rail connectivity tender closes on 15 September 2026 at ₹77.36 crore.
What the job covers
National Highways Logistics Management Limited, the NHAI company that builds the country’s logistics parks, wants a contractor to lay the rail connection from Dodbele railway station into the Bengaluru MMLP. The corrigendum documents give a fair picture of the scope: a siding layout, an RUB at chainage 356, a longitudinal section for the Dodbele link, a height gauge and boundary wall work. Reference is Bid/Package No/MMLP/Beng/Rail/ef-2108/26, the estimate is ₹77.36 crore, and the contract runs on an item rate basis over two covers with 120-day bid validity.
Who should bid
Earnest money is ₹78,00,000, close to one per cent of the estimate, with a tender fee of ₹11,800 payable offline. A rail siding into a logistics park is a hybrid job: the formation and structures are ordinary railway civil work, but the interface sits with a highways authority and a private terminal operator. Firms that have built private sidings or Gati Shakti terminal connections will be comfortable. Withdrawal is allowed on this tender, which is unusual and worth noting before you commit a price.
Machines you will need
Formation comes first, so excavators, dozers and tippers move and place the embankment, then motor graders and vibratory compactors bring it to level and density. The RUB is the concrete item: transit mixers, a pump and a mobile crane for box segments and shuttering. Boundary walls and the height gauge are small work but spread out, which is where a backhoe loader earns its keep instead of tying up a bigger excavator.
