The Border Roads Organisation wants 21.9 km of new single-lane highway built from Bhimbat in Ladakh under Project Vijayak for ₹68.75 crore, and the Bhimbat road tender closes at 3:00 PM on 12 November 2026.
A border road on EPC
The work is construction of the Bhimbat to TAC Road Bend road to NHSL (national highway single lane) specification from km 0.000 to km 21.903, on EPC mode. Project Vijayak is BRO’s formation headquartered at Kargil. The reference is CE(P)/VJK/EPC/05/2026-27 from the Chief Engineer, Project Vijayak.
The period of work is 1,080 days. Three years for 22 km likely reflects how short the working season is in this part of Ladakh, where sites are shut by snow for several months.
Bid costs and pre-bid
EMD is ₹68,75,000, which is 1 per cent, with no exemption. The fee is ₹11,800. A pre-bid meeting is set for 10:00 AM on 23 October at the project headquarters. Bids open at 3:00 PM on 13 November 2026.
High-altitude formation cutting is hard on equipment. Engines lose power in thin air and cold starts are a daily problem. Excavators with rock breakers and dozers do the cutting, wheel loaders and tippers move the muck, and motor graders with rollers build the pavement layers in the short summer. Contractors usually carry a spare machine for every key role because a breakdown can cost a week. Fleet owners in Kargil and Drass who winterise their machines get the best hire rates.
