Delhi Cantt Dwelling Units Tender: MES EPC Job for 126 Homes and Allied Work (Rs 133.73 Cr)

The MES Delhi Zone is looking for an EPC contractor to build 126 married dwelling units with allied work in Delhi Cantonment for ₹133.73 crore, and the Delhi Cantt dwelling units tender closes at 6:00 PM on 13 November 2026.

What the contractor designs and builds

The job is engineering, procurement and construction of 126 dwelling units (DUs) and allied work at Delhi Cantt. It is issued by HQ Chief Engineer Delhi Zone under the CE WC chain, with reference CEDZ/TOKEN-37 OF 2026, as a lump sum contract. EPC means the bidder carries the design as well as the build, so price the soil investigation and drawings in.

A pre-bid meeting is set for 11:00 AM on 16 October at HQ Chief Engineer Delhi Zone. Submissions open at noon on 6 November and close a week later.

Value, deposit and a long contract period

The tender value is ₹1,33,73,00,000. EMD is ₹15,00,000 with exemption allowed, which is the usual MES cap rather than a percentage, and the fee is ₹3,000. The portal gives the period as 2,737 days, about seven and a half years; on MES EPC housing that usually includes a maintenance spell after handover, so read the NIT for the build period itself. Bids open at 10:00 AM on 18 November 2026.

There is road work open in the same cantonment under the Delhi Cantt underpass tender, and NHAI is upgrading the carriageway nearby in the Ashram Badarpur road tender.

Machines on a cantonment housing site

A housing job of this size usually goes up as several mid-rise blocks. That means a tower or mobile crane per block, transit mixers for slabs, and backhoe loaders for foundations, drains and service trenches. An excavator and a wheel loader handle the earthwork and aggregate. Cantonment sites have strict entry rules, so owners renting machines in should plan for passes and fixed working hours.
