Thane Municipal Corporation is building 3,084 EWS dwelling units with all allied infrastructure at Betawade village on a design and build EPC contract worth ₹512.06 crore, and the Thane EWS housing tender closes at 4:00 PM on 21 October 2026.
A full township package under PMAY-U 2.0
The contract covers design, engineering, procurement and construction of 3,084 economically weaker section dwelling units along with allied infrastructure, amenities and services on land bearing S. No. 15/1 and No. 78 at Village Betawade, Thane, under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban 2.0. The Public Works Department of TMC is the inviting authority, reference TMC/PRO/PWD-HO/585/2026-27, and the portal allows 1,095 days.
Allied infrastructure is where this job gets interesting for equipment owners. Roads, storm water drains, sewers, water lines, a pump house and compound work all sit inside the same contract as the buildings, so the plant list runs well beyond tower cranes and concrete.
Low deposit, short fuse
The estimate is ₹5,12,06,43,082, EMD is ₹2,56,03,215, and the portal records that exemption is allowed. The fee is ₹11,800. The notice went up on 30 September 2026 and bids open at 4:00 PM on 23 October 2026, so the window from notice to close is only three weeks for a three-year job.
At roughly half a per cent of value, the deposit is modest for a contract this size, which usually widens the bidder field. Mumbai region contractors with housing experience can also look at the SEEPZ NEST 3 service block tender, and the Bahapur housing tender in Delhi shows what comparable high-rise government housing is being priced at elsewhere.
Three years of steady concrete
Mass housing on this scale is a repetition game. Once the formwork system is chosen, the site runs on a fixed cycle, which means transit mixers and placing booms turning up on schedule every single day. A mobile crane handles formwork shifting and material lifts between tower crane coverage.
The ground stage comes first: excavators for foundations and the service trenches, backhoe loaders for the internal roads and drains, and compactors behind them. For a machine owner in Thane or Bhiwandi, a 1,095 day site a few kilometres away is the kind of work that pays off an EMI without the haulage cost of a highway job.
