₹ 139.16 Cr of border road work is on the table: CPWD’s Border Works wing wants Package-II lateral roads built in the Barmer sector along the Indo-Pakistan frontier, and bids shut on 24 June 2026.
Scope on the border
CPWD’s Border Works zone is building lateral and axial roads along the Indo-Pakistan border, and this package covers the Barmer sector on EPC with five years of maintenance bundled in. The estimate is ₹ 139.16 Cr, the earnest money is ₹ 1.49 Cr and there is no tender fee. These roads carry military and patrol traffic, so the specification and the deadlines tend to be tight, and the five-year upkeep means you stay responsible for the surface well after the build.
Made for desert earthmovers
Border road packages are a strong fit if you already run earthmoving fleets in western Rajasthan and can handle remote logistics. Water, fuel, aggregate and labour all have to be hauled in, and a job near the frontier needs clearances and disciplined site security. If your firm has built rural or defence roads in sandy terrain before, the experience counts. Note the short window: bids close 24 June 2026, so this one is for crews that can mobilise quickly and don’t need a long run-up.
Plant to keep on site
Sand and long lead distances shape the kit list. You will lean on dozers and motor graders for formation, vibratory soil compactors for the embankment, and excavators with a fleet of tippers and water tankers for haulage and dust control. A WMM plant and a hot-mix plant with a paver and rollers handle the pavement. Because resupply is slow out here, carry spares, a service vehicle and standby gensets so a single breakdown doesn’t stall the line.
