Melling Damteng Road Tender, Sonitpur Assam (BRO, Rs 112.36 Cr)

The Border Roads Organisation has floated a ₹112.36 crore Melling Damteng road tender in Sonitpur, Assam, for a new 19.653 km alignment, with bids closing on 7 September 2026.

What the job covers

BRO’s Project Vartak, working through 763 BRTF and 120 RCC, wants a new road built from km 0.000 to km 22.000, with a design length of 19.653 km, finished to NHSL (PS) specification. This is fresh-alignment construction rather than repair of an existing carriageway, so most of the money sits in formation cutting, embankment, cross drainage and pavement layers. The contract runs on a works basis across two covers, with bid validity of 120 days and withdrawal permitted.

Who should look at this

At ₹112.36 crore the ticket size points at established EPC firms and mid-size civil contractors who have already delivered BRO or state PWD road work. Earnest money is ₹1,12,35,932 and the tender fee ₹20,000, both handled offline. Anyone already running a road spread in Assam or the wider Northeast has a real edge, because mobilising plant into Sonitpur from outside the region eats into margin fast. Contractors tracking BRO work will also want to look at the BRO Karzok road tender in Ladakh, and the NH-217 sinking zone remedial works in Meghalaya is the closest live job to this one in the Northeast.

Machines the spread will need

A new road of this length usually calls for excavators on cutting and drain work, dozers and graders to build and trim formation, tippers to shift material over long leads, soil and tandem rollers for layer compaction, and a paver backed by a WMM or batching plant depending on the pavement design. Border-area alignments tend to reward smaller, more mobile machines than a plains highway job, since access roads and working widths are tighter and machines get shifted between reaches more often.
