Vanakbara Fishing Harbour Tender, Diu (EPC)

The Diu PWD has invited EPC bids to develop the Vanakbara fishing harbour under the PMMSY scheme, a ₹103.16 crore marine-civil job closing 5 August 2026.

Marine construction jobs do not come along often, so the Vanakbara fishing harbour tender stands out for coastal contractors. The Executive Engineer, PWD Diu is running it on EPC mode under the Centrally sponsored PMMSY scheme, which means design and build sit with one firm and the funding line is central.

What the harbour job covers

An integrated fishing harbour brings together the hard marine structures a working port needs: breakwaters to calm the basin, quay and jetty structures for berthing, dredging to hold depth, and the shore-side civil work for auctions, storage and services. Being an EPC contract, you carry the design risk, so the technical proposal weighs as heavily as the price. Bid validity is 120 days.

Who should take it on

This is one for a marine or port-civil contractor with breakwater and dredging experience. The EMD is ₹1.03 crore, at the standard 1% of value, and the tender fee is ₹10,000, payable offline. Given the specialised marine scope, general building contractors will struggle to clear the eligibility bar without a genuine coastal track record or a capable JV partner.

Plant and machinery on site

Marine work leans on long-reach excavators, dredgers, cranes for placing armour and precast units, barges, and concrete equipment for the quay and shore structures. Owners with dredging plant or heavy lifting gear near the Saurashtra and Diu coast are the ones most likely to pick up hire once the contract is awarded.
