New Mangalore Port Cargo Berth Tender, Karnataka (EPC)

New Mangalore Port wants a contractor to build a new multi-purpose cargo berth, Berth No. 17, with all allied civil works on EPC basis, and the bid window shuts on 16 July 2026.

What’s on the table

The estimate is ₹150.36 Cr on a lump-sum EPC contract. Marine construction of this kind covers the berth structure, the deck and back-up area, and the supporting civil work that lets cargo move once the berth is live. The work site is Panambur, Mangalore, in Dakshina Kannada. Documents include the NIT, a full tender document and the BOQ, so you can size the scope properly before committing.

Is this your kind of job?

It’s built for marine and heavy-civil EPC firms that have delivered berths, jetties or similar waterfront structures. You’ll need marine piling experience, the ability to work over water and tides, and an EMD of ₹3.60 Cr. EMD exemption is allowed for eligible bidders, the contract runs on two covers, and bid validity is 90 days. Smaller firms can still get a slice by supplying piling, concreting or earthmoving support to the main bidder.

Plant you’ll be running

Marine jobs are equipment-hungry. Expect crawler cranes and piling or marine rigs for the substructure, a concrete batching plants setup with transit mixers and concrete pumps for the deck, plus excavators, dumpers and dewatering sets for the back-up area and approaches. Pontoons or barges may come in for the over-water reach. If you own cranes or concrete plant near coastal Karnataka, a berth project means months of steady deployment, and an equipment finance line can bridge the gap until running bills start.
