A ₹223.40 Cr contract to build three high-rise residential towers in Mumbai is open for bids until 19 August 2026.
The Directorate of Construction Services and Estate Management (DCSEM) has invited bids for residential buildings of stilt plus 20 floors on two plots and stilt plus 21 floors on a third, in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The package bundles civil, public health, electrical and fire-fighting work into one item-rate contract. For a building contractor with high-rise experience, this Mumbai residential buildings tender is a substantial job in a tight-site city.
The work at a glance
You build three towers: stilt plus 20 floors at Plot 5, stilt plus 20 at Plot 16, and stilt plus 21 at Plot 17. Each comes with its full building services, so the contract runs from foundations and RCC frame right through plumbing, wiring and fire systems. High-rise work in Mumbai means deep foundations, a fast vertical cycle and careful logistics on a constrained plot.
Who this suits
DCSEM is after a contractor who has taken 20-plus floor residential towers from ground to handover. The ₹2.33 Cr EMD sits near one percent of the value, and the item-rate format rewards firms that measure and cost accurately. If your team has run tower cranes and concrete pumps on multi-plot housing before, you are in the frame. Newer entrants should read the qualification criteria and the completion timeline before deciding.
Equipment on the ground
Vertical construction changes the machine mix. Tower cranes do the lifting, concrete boom pumps place the RCC floor by floor, and a batching plant or ready-mix supply keeps pours going. Excavators dig the basements and pile caps, while cranes handle steel, formwork and material hoists. Owners who rent out cranes and concrete equipment across Maharashtra should keep an eye on how the three towers are phased.
