Up in Ladakh, the Border Roads Organisation is hiring an EPC contractor for road works at Karzok under Project Himank, with bids open until 7 November 2026.
The work and the ground
The estimated value is ₹100.08 Cr on a lump-sum EPC contract. Karzok sits near Tso Moriri, high-altitude terrain where the building season is short and the logistics are hard. BRO has loaded the full set of documents — NIT, RFP, BOQ, drawings and the DCA — so bidders can judge the ground conditions and the build window before pricing.
Who should bid
This is contractor territory for firms that have worked in the hills or in cold, remote postings. You’ll need mountain-road experience, the cash flow to mobilise far from supply lines, and an EMD of ₹1,00,07,883. Bids use two covers with a long 120-day validity, which fits the planning a Himalayan job needs. Tender fee is ₹23,600. If you can’t lead it, BRO packages often pull in local plant and transport sub-contractors, so there’s room for owners too.
Machines that earn their keep here
High-altitude roadwork leans hard on machines. Budget for excavators and dozers to cut and form the alignment, rock breakers and drilling rigs where the rock is hard, and graders, compactors and rollers to finish the surface. Tippers move spoil and aggregate over long hauls. Cold-weather starting gear and spare capacity matter here, because downtime at altitude is expensive. Owners with hill experience and self-sufficient crews are exactly what a BRO bidder wants on call, and a planned equipment finance line helps you keep a backup machine ready.
Bids close on 7 November 2026 and open on 9 November 2026.
