Ferozepur Accommodation Tender: MES Married Quarters at the Military Station (Rs 37.60 Cr)

Married quarters for officers, JCOs and other ranks at Ferozepur Military Station are out at ₹37.60 crore with 750 days to build, and the Ferozepur accommodation tender closes at 6:00 PM on 24 November 2026.

Where the work is, and where the office is

The notice covers provision of married accommodation for officers, JCOs and ORs at Ferozepur Military Station, under GE (West) Ferozepore Cantt. Worth noting that the portal location field reads Jalandhar Cantt, which is the Chief Engineer Jalandhar Zone office rather than the site. The work itself is at Ferozepur. Reference 81113/E8, under Chief Engineer, Western Command and Chief Engineer Jalandhar Zone.

Ferozepur is close to the border, which affects material lead times and sometimes access timings, but the ground is flat canal country and the building itself is ordinary load bearing or framed housing work.

The longest window in this batch

At 750 days this is the most generous period among the MES housing contracts open right now, and the estimate is a precise ₹37,59,81,000. Earnest money is the flat ₹15,00,000 with exemption allowed, and the fee is ₹3,000. Bids opened for submission on 14 September and open for evaluation at 11:00 AM on 1 December.

Two years and a half on a ₹37 crore job means a modest monthly turnover, which suits a contractor running more than one site. Punjab highway work is also open if you want to keep an earthmoving fleet busy alongside: the Ludhiana Rupnagar NH-205K highway contract and IRCON’s balance civil works on the same greenfield corridor.

A straightforward site, planned well

Flat ground and good access mean you can run this with a small core fleet. A backhoe loader covers foundations, trenching for services and general movement. Transit mixers from a local batching plant beat a site plant for a job this size, and a pick and carry crane handles the lifting.

The thing that usually costs money on cantonment housing is sequencing rather than plant. Services, external development and road work come after the blocks, and a 750 day programme gives you room to overlap them properly instead of paying for idle machines. If you are weighing a different kind of Punjab job, the Ranjit Sagar dam site redevelopment is open on PPP.
