Mangampet Barytes Overburden Excavation Tender, Andhra Pradesh (₹348.38 Cr)

APMDC is hunting for a contractor to strip overburden and lift barytes ore at Mangampet in Tirupati district — Rs 348.38 Cr of pure earthmoving, with bids closing on 24 July 2026.

One of the biggest digs in the south right now

Mangampeta village in Obulavaripalli mandal sits on one of the largest barytes deposits in the world, and the Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation works it through contract mining. This tender covers excavation and removal of overburden and run-of-mine (ROM) barytes ore at the Mangampet Barytes Project. It is volume work: strip the waste, expose the mineral, lift and haul the ore. The estimate on the notice is Rs 348.38 Cr, which puts it among the larger mining contracts in Andhra Pradesh this year.

The fleet does the talking

A job like this runs on hydraulic excavators in the 20–50 tonne class loading a steady chain of dumpers, with dozers and graders keeping benches and haul roads in shape. Water tankers hold the dust down, and drilling units step in where a bench needs blasting before it moves. If you own machines in Rayalaseema or run a mining fleet anywhere in the south, the winning contractor will need equipment on hire for a long stretch, not a season. That makes this worth tracking even if you never submit a bid yourself.

Reading the terms

The notice lists no EMD and a nil tender fee, which is unusual for a contract this size — the security deposit and qualification terms sit inside the tender document, so read it before you price anything. Withdrawal after submission is not allowed on this one. Proven experience in overburden removal or large-scale excavation will almost certainly be the qualifying bar.
