Bhopal Development Authority is building the Western Regional Load Despatch Centre complex at Aerocity Phase I for ₹305.12 crore, and the WRLDC control centre tender closes at 3:30 PM on 20 November 2026.
What is being built at Aerocity Phase I
The work is the Control Centre Complex of the Western Regional Load Despatch Centre for Grid Controller of India Limited, on plots KP 05, 10 and 11 at Aerocity Phase I in Bhopal. The scope line on the portal reads civil, MEPF and all other works, so structure, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, firefighting and interiors sit inside one percentage rate contract. Reference is 01/EE-2/e-tender/ BDA/ 2026, issued through the Directorate of Town and Country Planning.
A load despatch centre is a working control room that has to stay cool, clean and powered without interruption once it is handed over. That pushes the services content far above an ordinary office block of the same floor area.
Why the deposit looks small for the value
EMD is ₹50,00,000 against an estimate of ₹3,05,12,23,650. That is well under 1 per cent, so the entry cost here is lower than most jobs of this size, and the tender fee is ₹88,500. The portal does not state a work period, which you will need to confirm from the tender document before you price mobilisation.
Aerocity is a cleared greenfield pocket, so site access is easy and the early weeks belong to excavators and tippers for the basement and footings. Frame work then runs on transit mixers and a pump, with a crane lifting ducting, chillers, transformers and the roof plant into position. A backhoe loader handles the external services trenches that MEPF scope always brings. Bhopal based plant owners have almost no lead on this one.
