Electro Optics Centre Tender: UPRNN Builds a Centre of Excellence at Dehradun (Rs 62.95 Cr)

A ₹62.95 crore Centre of Excellence in Electro Optics is going up at the India Optel Ltd campus at Raipur in Dehradun, and the electro optics centre tender closes at 5:00 PM on 16 November 2026.

A defence factory campus, not an open site

UP Rajkiya Nirman Nigam is building this one as an executing agency, through its Moradabad unit under the General Manager for the North West zone at Bareilly. The reference, 877/NI-206/NIT/Optel India/RNN/2026 Dated_31.10.2026, names the client: India Optel Ltd, the ordnance-sector company whose Raipur plant the new centre will sit in.

Working inside a defence factory campus changes the job more than the drawings suggest. Entry passes for every worker and machine, fixed working hours, restrictions on photography and on where you may store material. Factor that into your programme rather than discovering it in month two.

Eighteen months, and a short window to bid

The estimate is ₹62,95,07,000 with 540 days to build. EMD is ₹72,95,000 with no exemption, and the fee is ₹11,800. The form of contract is percentage, so the schedule of rates in the bid document is what you are quoting against. Bids open at 3:00 PM on 18 November, two days after they close.

The notice went up on 2 November, which leaves two weeks to put a bid together. If you have not worked on a controlled campus before, use the pre-bid meeting to ask about access and security conditions. Uttarakhand has other building work live, including the integrated check post at Banbasa and Agniveer accommodation at Ranikhet.

Compact plant, careful lifts

A ₹63 crore technical building on a working factory site is a civil and services job with limited room to spread out. Foundations and service trenches suit a backhoe loader and a mid-size excavator rather than anything larger. Concrete comes in by transit mixer because a plant inside the campus is unlikely to be permitted, and a crane handles structural steel and the heavier equipment placements. Keep machines clean and well maintained: breakdown recovery inside a secured campus is slow.
