The Border Roads Organisation has tendered the creation of aviation infrastructure at Meerut under Project Shivalik at ₹371.15 crore, with bids closing on 25 September 2026.
What the notice says, and what it does not
This Meerut aviation infrastructure tender is issued by the Border Roads Organisation through Additional Director General Border Roads (North West) at Chandigarh, for work at Meerut in Uttar Pradesh under Project Shivalik, executed through the Project Implementation Unit at Meerut. The notice describes the work as creation of aviation infrastructure and files it under product category Construction Works with the contract category recorded as Works.
The summary does not itemise the components, so treat the scope as defined by the documents rather than the title. The document set is substantial for a tender of this size: drawings running to 21.4 MB, a BOQ, schedules, the final RFP and a draft agreement, six documents in all. A bidder pricing this will get the actual breakdown from the drawings and BOQ, and we are not going to guess at it here.
On the commercial side the figures line up cleanly. The estimate is ₹371.15 crore and the EMD is ₹3,71,15,000, exactly 1.00 per cent of it. The tender fee is ₹40,000, payment mode is offline, and the bid runs in two covers with 120-day validity. Submissions opened 12 August 2026 and close 25 September 2026, with opening the following day at HQ ADGBR (North West) in Chandigarh. No corrigendum has been issued so far.
Who should be looking at this
Aviation ground infrastructure is a narrower field than general building work. Pavement quality concrete to aviation tolerances, drainage designed for large paved areas, and defence-site security and sequencing requirements all sit outside what a general civil contractor handles day to day. At ₹371 crore with a ₹3.71 crore deposit, the realistic bidders are firms with airfield or defence works credentials and the ability to run a programme under military supervision.
For equipment owners in western Uttar Pradesh, Meerut is an easy posting compared with the border postings this organisation usually tenders. Machines stay reachable, servicing is straightforward and crews go home. A defence site does bring its own conditions on access, documentation and working hours, so factor those into any hire rate rather than pricing it like an open commercial job.
Likely fleet requirements
Ground preparation for aviation infrastructure runs on bulk earthmoving and precision grading in sequence. Excavators and dozers strip and shape the site, tippers move material, and motor graders do the fine trimming that paved aviation surfaces demand, because tolerances here are tighter than on a road job. Vibratory soil compactors run the subgrade and sub-base layers under close density testing.
Concrete is the other half of the story. Paved areas and buildings mean a batching plant with transit mixers and concrete pumps on site, with cranes for structural steel and any building work in the package. Backhoe loaders take the service trenching, drainage and cable routes. Until the BOQ is read, that list is the sensible planning assumption rather than a confirmed schedule.
