ONGC wants one contractor to build drill sites and approach roads across its Ahmedabad Asset for the next three years at ₹216.6 crore, and the ONGC drill site tender closes at 3:00 PM on 2 November 2026.
Three years of repeat earthwork
The contract is a three year rate contract for construction of drill sites, approach roads and allied civil works for development and exploratory locations in the Ahmedabad Asset. Reference is ZV9VC26001, issued by the Central Procurement Department, and the portal records the value as ₹2,16,59,85,628 with 1,095 days.
A drill site is a levelled, drained and surfaced pad with a waste pit, built to take a rig and its support plant. Then you cut an approach road strong enough for heavy trailers. It is pure civil and earthmoving work, which is why it belongs on a machine owner’s list even though the client is an oil company.
Why a rate contract suits a fleet owner
Call off work over three years gives you something a single package cannot: a predictable utilisation base for your machines. You price the rates once and then work to work orders as locations are released. For an owner carrying finance on a fleet, that steadiness is worth as much as the headline value.
EMD is ₹67,99,000 with exemption allowed, and the portal shows no tender fee. Note that the deposit is well under 1 per cent of the value, which is normal for an ONGC rate contract and not a sign that the value is wrong. Bids open at 3:30 PM on 3 November 2026.
Pads, pits and all weather access
The core fleet is excavators and tippers for cut, fill and the waste pit, with a motor grader and compactors bringing the pad and the approach road to level and density. A backhoe loader handles drains and culvert work, and concrete mixers cover the hard standing and foundations.
Locations move around the asset, so machines on this contract travel. Budget for low loaders and for wear, because a pad built in the Gujarat summer and another in the monsoon are different jobs with the same rate.
