Deficient married accommodation at Air Force Station Dinjan in upper Assam is out to bid at ₹28.50 crore over 700 days, and the Dinjan accommodation tender closes at 6:00 PM on 12 November 2026.
Quarters at an upper Assam air base
The notice covers provision of deficient married accommodation at AF Station Dinjan, issued by the Chief Engineer, Eastern Command and Chief Engineer (Air Force) Shillong, reference 88683/DIN/E8. The PIN on the notice, 786189, puts the site in the Dibrugarh belt of upper Assam.
Deficient accommodation contracts exist because a station has fewer quarters than entitled families. They tend to be straightforward residential blocks built to standard type designs, which makes them good work for a contractor who wants predictable quantities rather than a technical challenge.
700 days, and a long gap since publication
The estimate is ₹28,50,00,000 on lump sum with 700 days. Earnest money is the flat ₹15,00,000 with exemption allowed, and the fee is ₹3,000. Bids open at 11:15 AM on 14 November.
This notice went up on 25 June 2026 and only closes in November, which is close to five months on the portal. A long open window on an MES housing job usually means a thin bidder response, so a capable local contractor has a better chance here than the value alone would suggest. MES has comparable work at Missamari Military Station in the same state.
The monsoon writes the programme
Upper Assam gets a long, heavy monsoon, and that decides the sequence rather than the plant list. Foundations and below ground services want to be finished before the rains, with structure and finishing work carried through them. A contractor who starts earthwork in May will lose the first season.
A backhoe loader handles foundations, service trenches and site movement, concrete mixers feed the structure, and a pick and carry crane does the lifting. Keep internal haul roads surfaced early, because a soft access road in August stops deliveries more reliably than any machine breakdown. Nearby, the Assam PWD has the Old AT Road upgrade in Tinsukia open.
