Mumbai Marina Tender: Waterfront Development at Mumbai Port on DBFOT

Mumbai Port has opened bidding for a marina and integrated waterfront assets on its eastern shoreline, and the Mumbai Marina tender, floated on DBFOT PPP mode, closes at 3:00 PM on 15 December 2026.

What the port is actually offering

The Civil Engineering department of Mumbai Port Trust is the inviting office, reference CE.T.77/2026 Marina PPP. The work description on the portal is development of a full service Viksit Bharat Mumbai Marina and integrated waterfront assets at Mumbai Port on design, build, finance, operate and transfer mode.

A marina is a berthing basin for small craft plus the land-side assets around it. In practice that means dredging, breakwater or protection works, floating pontoons and piled walkways, a hard-stand and workshop area, and the public realm behind. The portal lists 365 days against period of work, which on a DBFOT project usually describes a development milestone rather than the concession length.

Deposit, fee and who this suits

The EMD is ₹9,22,00,000 with no exemption allowed, and the tender fee is ₹90,000. The portal does not publish a tender value. At 2 per cent the deposit implies something near ₹461 crore, which is a guide only on a concession of this type. Bids open at 3:00 PM on 18 December 2026, so there are two months to assemble a consortium.

This is developer territory rather than a works contract, but the construction underneath it is ordinary marine civil work that gets sub-let. Two other port jobs are live for comparison, the Kamarajar Port container terminal on PPP at Ennore and the common user facilities at Kolkata Dock System.

Marine work is a different fleet

Dredging and reclamation come first, which means barges, long-boom excavators working off pontoons, and a steady supply of rock and fill through wheel loaders. Piling for pontoon walkways brings in a crawler crane and a rig, and the land-side hard-stand needs compactors and transit mixers. Machines working in salt air need a washdown routine and a tighter service interval than the same machine inland.
