Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port is handing berth KPD II at the Kolkata Dock System to a private developer on DBFOT terms worth ₹215.23 crore, and the Kolkata multi modal terminal tender closes at 3:00 PM on 30 November 2026.
A berth rebuilt and then run
The scope is development of KPD II as a multi modal terminal at the Kolkata Dock System on design, build, finance, operate and transfer basis. The Chief Engineer and Senior Executive Engineer (Contract) at KDS issued it under reference SMPA/KDS/CIV/T/MMT-PPP/3056/33. The portal lists the value at ₹2,15,23,00,000 and the construction period at 365 days.
Under DBFOT the winner pays for the rebuild, then earns it back over the concession by moving cargo. That changes who should bid. A pure civil contractor without a cargo book behind it will struggle to make the numbers work, while a terminal operator with a construction arm is the natural fit.
What the deposit tells you
EMD is ₹2,15,23,000, exactly 1 per cent of the estimate, with no exemption, and the tender fee is ₹35,400. Bids open at 4:00 PM on 1 December, a day after closing. The notice has been up since 5 June 2026, so the document set is well circulated and the serious bidders have had their site visits.
Berth reconstruction runs on piling and heavy lifting rather than paving. Plan for a piling rig, a crawler crane with reach over water, and transit mixers delivering to a pump stationed on the quay. Behind the berth the yard has to be graded, stabilised and surfaced for container handling, which brings in excavators, a compactor and a wheel loader. Working inside a live dock means tidal windows and short night shifts, so machine availability matters more than machine count.
