GMADA has invited bids to build out Ecocity 3 at New Chandigarh, a ₹525.87 crore township package with civil, public-health and electrical works, closing 27 July 2026.
The Ecocity New Chandigarh work sits under the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority, and it is one of the bigger township jobs open in Punjab right now. GMADA is developing the third Ecocity pocket at SAS Nagar (Mohali) as a planned residential sector, and this single contract bundles the roads, water and sewerage, and electrical services for the whole layout.
What is being built
A township of this value means kilometres of internal roads, the full water-supply and sewerage network, storm-water drains, and the electrical distribution that goes with a new sector. Because the civil, public-health and electrical scopes are packaged together, the bidder has to either carry all three trades in-house or line up dependable sub-contractors before pricing. The contract runs on a percentage-rate basis with a 90-day bid validity, so it moves faster than most large jobs.
Who should bid
This one favours an established township or urban-infrastructure contractor. The EMD is ₹5.35 crore, there is no tender fee, and EMD exemption is allowed as per Punjab rules, so check whether your registration category qualifies. Given the combined-trade scope, firms that have delivered GMADA or PUDA sector work before start with an edge.
Machines for the site
Road formation calls for graders, compactors and pavers; the wet-utility network needs excavators and backhoe loaders for trenching; and concrete equipment feeds the drains, chambers and road furniture. A live township build keeps earthmoving and compaction fleets in steady demand, so Mohali-area owners should watch the award closely.
