Daman Runway Extension Tender: MES Upgradation and Allied Works (Rs 130 Cr)

A ₹130 crore job to lengthen and upgrade the runway at Daman is open on the defence e-procurement portal, and this Daman runway extension tender closes at 6:00 PM on 30 October 2026.

What the work covers

The Military Engineer Services zone that handles Coast Guard works, Chief Engineer (CG) Goa, has listed the job as “Extension and upgradation of runway and allied works at Daman” under reference 84051/E8. The portal puts the tender value at exactly ₹1,30,00,00,000 and gives 450 days to finish, which is a tight window for airfield pavement of this size.

It is an item-rate contract, so you price each item of the bill of quantities rather than quoting one lump sum. The tender went up on 30 May 2026 and the pre-bid meeting was held on 16 June, so read the corrigenda and the pre-bid replies on the portal before you price anything.

Who should look at it

Runway work suits contractors who have laid airfield or highway pavement before and can show matching turnover. The EMD is ₹15,00,000 with exemption allowed for eligible firms, and the tender fee is only ₹3,000. Smaller firms and machine owners can still find work here as sub-contractors for earthwork, drainage and haulage around the airfield.

If you work the south Gujarat belt, two highway jobs nearby are also open: the Jujuwa Gandeva expressway tender and the NH-168A widening tender. For another aviation job, see the Meerut aviation infrastructure tender.

Machines a runway job keeps busy

Extending a runway starts with cutting and filling the strip, so excavators, dozers and tippers come first. Sub-base and base layers then need motor graders and vibratory rollers, and the surface course needs pavers and a steady supply from a batching or hot-mix plant fed by wheel loaders. See machines used on airport and runway work for the full list.
