The Land Ports Authority of India is spending ₹77 crore on bridges, roads and landscaping at the integrated check post at Sonauli, and the ICP Sonauli tender closes at 03:00 PM on 13 November 2026.
What gets built at the land port
Sonauli is one of the busiest crossings on the Indo-Nepal border. This package, Mode-I on engineering, procurement and construction, covers construction of bridges, roads, landscaping and allied services works at the integrated check post. The authority headquarters in New Delhi invites it, reference 18/PD/LPAI/NEW DELHI/2026-27, with 730 days allowed.
A land port is a compact site with a lot packed into it: approach roads, parking and holding areas for trucks, internal circulation, bridges over local drains and the finished surfaces around the terminal buildings. The variety is the difficulty, because a small site runs several trades at once.
No tender fee, and a deposit above 1 per cent
The portal shows the tender fee as nil, which lowers the cost of simply looking at the documents. EMD is ₹86,99,833 against an estimate of ₹76,99,83,303, so about 1.13 per cent, on a percentage rate contract. Bids open at 11:00 AM on 16 November.
Nothing here needs a large spread, but it needs variety. Backhoe loaders do most of the daily work on a confined site, excavators handle bridge foundations and drain work, and a pick-and-carry crane sets girders and precast. Roads and parking aprons need a compactor and a motor grader, and landscaping and paving run off concrete mixers. Border-site work also means security clearance for men and machines, so allow time for it in your programme.
