Eight warehouse sites across India go to private developers under DBFOT in one ₹271.54 crore package, and the CWC warehouse tender closes at 3:00 PM on 29 October 2026.
Eight sites in one lump sum contract
The Tender Cell at the CWC Corporate Office has issued reference CWC/CO/TC/26-27/47 for development of warehousing facilities through PPP under the DBFOT model at eight locations across India. The portal records a lump sum contract, the product category as civil works, and a value of ₹2,71,54,00,000. The period of work is shown as NA.
The notice itself does not list the eight locations, so the RFP is the only place to find out where they are and how the sites differ. Download it before you spend time on the rest, because a bidder in one region may find the geography decides the bid.
A deposit that does not match the value
EMD is ₹8,00,000 against a ₹271.54 crore project, which is a fraction of 1 per cent, with exemption not allowed. The tender fee is ₹35,400. That pattern is common in concession bidding, where the real test is net worth and the financial proposal rather than the deposit, but it also means the deposit tells you nothing about who you are bidding against. Bids open at 3:30 PM on 30 October 2026.
Warehouse work rewards speed over complexity. Site levelling and subgrade come first, which is excavator, motor grader and compactor work, and on eight sites that fleet moves from one to the next rather than sitting idle. The floor slab is the item that decides whether the building is any good, so concrete supply from transit mixers has to be continuous across a large pour.
Steel portal frames then go up fast with a mobile crane, and wheel loaders handle aggregate and the hardstanding outside. A developer running eight sites in sequence gets more out of owning the fleet than hiring it.
