Odisha Coal and Power Limited wants 2.25 million tonnes of coal moved from its Manoharpur mine to NTPC power stations on a delivered basis, and the Manoharpur coal logistics tender closes at 5:00 PM on 3 November 2026.
Integrated logistics means you own the whole chain
The scope is providing integrated coal logistics services for transportation of 2.25 million tonne of coal from Manoharpur coal mine to different power plants of NTPC Limited on a FOR destination basis. FOR destination is the part that matters: you are paid on coal delivered at the plant, not coal loaded at the mine, so transit loss, weighbridge disputes and plant unloading queues are your problem.
The contract covers loading at the mine, road or rail movement, any intermediate handling and delivery at the receiving plants. The portal lists it under handling and transportation, reference OCPL/SER-248/2026, with the location given as Manoharpur Coal Mines.
No published value, and a large deposit
The portal shows no tender value. The EMD is ₹2,50,00,000 and EMD exemption is allowed, which is worth noting for registered small and medium enterprises. At the 2 per cent commonly used, that deposit points to a contract of roughly ₹125 crore. Treat that as an indication and take the real figure from the bid document. The tender fee is ₹20,000, and no work period is given on the portal.
Two and a quarter million tonnes is roughly 90,000 loads of 25 tonnes. That is a fleet question before it is a price question: tipper numbers, turnaround time, tyre and fuel cost per tonne-kilometre, and workshop capacity along the route. At the mine end you need wheel loaders or an excavator in loading duty sized to fill a truck in three or four passes, because loading time sets the cycle for everything behind it. Our guide to mining equipment covers how loader and hauler sizes should be matched.
