Rangapahar Accommodation Tender: MES KLP Construction under GE 868 EWS (Rs 29.30 Cr)

MES wants KLP accommodation built at Rangapahar under GE 868 EWS for ₹29.30 crore, and the Rangapahar accommodation tender closes at 6:00 PM on 11 November 2026.

A north east build with two unusual entries

The work is construction of KLP accommodation at Rangapahar, issued by the Chief Engineer, Eastern Command and Chief Engineer Shillong Zone, reference 89873/RANG/E8. The notice title spells the place Rangapar while the location field reads Rangapahar with PIN 797118, which places it in Nagaland. The portal does not expand KLP, so the building type comes from the tender document.

Two entries on this notice are worth a second look before you bid. The period of work is listed as 2,825 days, close to eight years, which is far longer than any comparable MES housing contract and may be a portal entry rather than the real programme. Raise it at the pre-bid meeting and get it confirmed in writing.

The one MES notice here without exemption

Earnest money is ₹15,00,000, the usual flat MES figure, but exemption is not allowed on this tender. Every other MES notice in this batch allows it, so a bidder who normally relies on an exemption certificate has to arrange the deposit in cash or as a bank instrument instead. The fee is ₹3,000 and the estimate is ₹29,29,67,000.

The notice was published on 9 September 2026 and bids open at 12:00 noon on 13 November. Nagaland has little else open: BRO is tendering slope protection at four bridge sites on the Tuensang Mon road. Across the border in Assam, MES has married quarters at Missamari Military Station, which is the closest comparison for pricing this one.

Logistics, not digging, sets the cost

In Nagaland the machine list follows the supply line. Cement, steel and aggregate arrive by road over long distances, so stockpiling and storage come before any plant decision, and a shortage mid-pour costs more than a slow excavator. Plan for the monsoon closing the road for days at a time.

A backhoe loader and a concrete mixer or two cover the bulk of a job this size. A compact excavator helps where the ground is sloping or terraced, and a pick and carry crane handles lifting without needing assembly space. Buy or hire machines you can service locally, because a breakdown waiting on a part from Guwahati is a long wait.
