Airports Authority of India has opened bids to rebuild the runway and aprons at Warangal airport in Telangana, with a ₹203.50 Cr budget and a 12 August 2026 deadline.
This Warangal runway tender is a pure pavement job: reconstruct the runway, build the apron with a ground support equipment area, add a link taxiway, isolation bay, perimeter road, emergency access road and the miscellaneous works that go with them. Airfield paving runs to tight tolerances, so AAI is looking for contractors who have done this kind of work before.
Scope in plain terms
The heart of the package is a full runway reconstruction at Warangal, followed by apron paving for aircraft parking and the GSE area, plus the link taxi and isolation bay that connect it all. Around the airfield you also build a perimeter road and an emergency access road. It is billed on an item-rate basis at ₹203.50 Cr, which means measured quantities rather than a lump-sum EPC handover.
Is this job for you?
Airfield pavement is a specialist trade. The EMD of ₹6.10 Cr and the item-rate format point to contractors with pavement-quality concrete or dense bituminous experience, tight level control and the plant to lay large areas fast. If you have built runways, taxiways or heavy industrial hardstandings, your qualification story writes itself. Firms newer to airfield work should study the eligibility clauses closely before spending on the bid.
Plant that fits the work
Runway and apron paving leans on graders, pavers and rollers. Line up motor graders for base and sub-base profiling, soil and tandem compactors for compaction, and a paver train for the surfacing course. Excavators handle the removal of the old pavement and the drains, tippers cart material, and a batching plant feeds the concrete or the bituminous mix. Owners hiring out compactors and graders in Telangana will find this a useful reference point on rates.
