All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.
The tender is dated 16.09.2026 and bidding starts on 16.09.2026 at 05:00 PM.
No pre-bid meeting applies. The clarification/representation deadline is not printed; the document only says it is as per the GeM Portal.
03.10.2026 at 05:00 PM.
04.10.2026 at 05:00 PM.
120 days after the bid-submission deadline; if the last validity day is a holiday/closed day, validity automatically extends to the next working day.
Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.
INR 353,10,17,032.96 including GST at 18%; the estimate uses an overall weighted average lead of 2.59 km and estimated rate of INR 107.34/BCM excluding GST.
INR 50,00,000. The buyer-added instructions require online payment only by net-banking/NEFT/RTGS into a designated NCL account and upload of transaction/UTR proof; exemption evidence must be uploaded where applicable. The GeM bid page also says a surety bond is acceptable, creating a conflict reported under contradictions.
No tender document / bid participation fee is specified. The GeM disclaimer states that asking for such a fee would make the bid/resultant contract null and void.
Performance security is 5% of the annualized contract value excluding GST or total contract value excluding GST, whichever is less, due within 21 days after LOA. Forms: scheduled-commercial-bank BG/e-BG, Government securities/FDR or NEFT/RTGS. Running bills are paid at 97%, with 3% retained.
If the accepted price excluding GST is more than 15% below the updated/justified cost, APS equals 85% of that cost minus the quoted price, and is due on the same timeline as performance security.
Interim bills are monthly and paid after Engineer-in-Charge verification/certification and contractual deductions. The GeM bid requires payment within 30 days after issue of the service delivery acceptance certificate and online bill submission; TReDS is the preferred mode for eligible registered MSMEs.
Monthly upward/downward adjustment applies to diesel, HPC wages and WPI during the stipulated/validly extended period. For OB excavation/removal/transport, coefficients are diesel 0.56, wages 0.09 and WPI 0.04. Escalation stops during contractor-fault extension, but downward recovery still applies.
Every pass/fail eligibility and qualification requirement: experience and past performance, turnover/net worth, registrations and certifications, consortium/JV rules, and debarment or blacklisting conditions.
Individuals, proprietorships, partnership firms, LLPs, Companies Act companies, JVs and other legal entities may bid. A bidder may participate in only one bid; common/sister/allied participation and conflicts of interest cause disqualification.
Two or three entities may form a JV. Lead share must be at least 50%; each other member at least 20%. All members are jointly and severally liable; the lead registers/submits on GeM, one entity may join only one JV, and the prescribed notarized JV agreement is mandatory.
In any consecutive 365 days during the last seven years ending 31.08.2026, the bidder must have similar work equal to at least 50% of the annualized estimated value: INR 587,965,884 as populated in the BSC. Similar work is mechanized excavation, with or without transportation, of coal/overburden/shale/ore/minerals in a Mine Act, 1952 mine. Ongoing work counts; historic value gets simple 7% annual weightage.
A mine/project-owner bidder may instead show mechanized excavation with transportation equal to 50% of the maximum annual composite handling volume in any consecutive 365 days during the same seven-year window. The BSC sets the required quantity at 4,642,037 CuM.
Working capital including available credit lines must be at least 20% of the annualized/estimated value, whichever is less: INR 235,186,354. It and the UDIN certificate must fall within three months before the initial bid opening; the BSC specifies availability on or after 03.07.2026.
Average annual turnover over any three of the four immediately preceding completed financial years must be at least 50% of annualized estimated cost/estimated cost, whichever is less: INR 587,965,884. The same three years apply to all JV members.
The bidder must unconditionally commit to deploy, owned or hired: 6 hydraulic excavators (3.1 m³ bucket), 37 dumpers/tippers (18.7 m³ carrying capacity), 3 dozers (200 HP), 1 crawler drill (150 mm), 2 graders (135 HP) and 4 pressurized water sprinklers (20 KL).
PAN is mandatory for the bidder and every Indian JV member. The bidder must be GST-registered under the regular scheme; for a JV, the lead's regular-scheme certificate is submitted with the bid and the JV's own PAN/GST is required before the first running bill. Legal-constitution evidence and authority to sign are mandatory.
Only Class-I and Class-II local suppliers may bid; non-local suppliers are ineligible. Class-I requires at least 50% local content and Class-II at least 20% but below 50%. Because the estimate exceeds INR 10 crore, a UDIN local-content certificate from the applicable auditor/CA/CMA is required; each JV member certifies separately.
The bidder must not be debarred on technical-bid opening or contract award. Misleading/false qualification submissions, forged/manipulated documents, CIPP or Integrity Pact breaches and false local-content declarations can disqualify/debar the bidder. Standard debarment is one to two years; forged/wrong eligibility information attracts two years.
What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.
Excavate 27.88 MBCM (exact schedule total 2,78,77,653.40 BCM) of overburden at Jhingurda OCP, NCL by mechanized drilling, excavation, loading, transport, dumping, spraying, dozing, water sprinkling and grading.
Work is at Jhingurda project/OCP. Internal-dump quantity is 2,59,54,870.40 BCM across 0–5 km lead slabs; West Dump No. 08 quantity is 19,33,427.20 BCM across 3–6 km. Average lead is 2.59 km. Lead/lift/RL/depth quantities can vary by ±10% and be reallocated within total award quantity.
Completion is 03 years (1096 days), with year-wise targets of 91,57,653.40 BCM, 93,00,000.00 BCM and 94,20,000.00 BCM and average output 25,445.53 BCM/day. Contractor must submit a month-wise completion schedule; the final monthly programme is mutually settled with the Engineer-in-Charge and included in the agreement.
Contractor prepares the site, drills blast holes in all gradients/terrain and performs stemming. NCL performs blasting departmentally; blast pattern/design is agreed daily between contractor and project technical representatives.
Contractor supplies and maintains roads, ramps, drainage/dewatering, diesel pumps, spraying, dozers, sprinklers and graders at its own cost; no extra payment applies. Contractor also bears mobilisation/demobilisation of equipment, labour and materials.
Only mechanically unloading tippers/dumpers are permitted; ‘Dala’ trucks and manual loading/unloading are prohibited. Equipment must be safe, insured, licensed/permitted and approved by the Engineer-in-Charge; drivers/operators must be experienced, medically fit and appropriately licensed.
The complete checklist of documents to submit — mandatory vs conditional, with any prescribed formats, proformas or annexures — plus how to submit: portal and mode, envelope/cover structure, digital signature requirements, signing and attestation rules, and physical originals with their deadline.
Submit online only through https://gem.gov.in under a two-packet system. Cover I contains all technical/confirmatory documents and clarifications; Cover II contains the unconditional percentage-rate price bid/BOQ. No offline bid is accepted.
GeM registration must be in the bidder's name; for a JV it is in the lead member's name. The bid must be physically or digitally signed by the bidder/authorized representative. The tender does not prescribe a DSC class.
No bid document is required physically as a precondition; bids are online only. Post-award, if performance security is a paper BG, the issuing bank—not the bidder—must send the original directly to the concerned department by registered/speed post.
Every corrigendum/addendum in order — what changed (original vs amended value), its impact, and the action for the bidder — ending with the values that finally apply.
The AI found nothing to report for this question.
Genuine conflicts within and across the documents (original vs corrigenda, clause vs annexure, tender document vs BOQ): both sides with citations, and which value prevails.
GeM's bid-detail page expressly accepts a surety bond, while Buyer Added ITB says EMD must be online only and no offline mode is acceptable. GeM's own disclaimer says buyer-added clauses contrary to bid-detail EMD terms are invalid; therefore surety-bond acceptance should prevail, but bidders should obtain portal clarification before relying on it.
The general condition starts work on expiry of 10 days from LOA or 7 days after site handover, whichever is later; the scope omits the seven-day allowance and says expiry of 10 days from LOA or site handover, whichever is later. The contract's discrepancy clause assigns the decision to the Tender Accepting Authority, so no unambiguous value prevails without buyer clarification.
Only critical, tender-specific pre-bid queries that could materially change bid/no-bid, pricing, eligibility or contractual risk. Skip generic or obvious questions the documents already answer clearly.
Will NCL accept a GeM-compliant surety bond, and if yes, what upload/original-delivery workflow and deadline apply, given the contradictory online-only EMD clause? This is a bid-responsiveness issue.
Confirm whether mobilisation starts 10 days after LOA/site handover or whether the contractor receives seven days after site handover. The difference materially affects fleet mobilisation and exposure to default penalties.
Identify the selected PSU OMC and confirm the D0 diesel price/date that will be used. The estimate cites INR 99.78/litre as of 01.08.2026 at a named filling station, while contractual adjustment uses the selected OMC's price on the tenth day before the original bid deadline.
Specify who issues SDAC, the deemed-acceptance/objection timeline and when the 30-day payment clock starts relative to measurement-book verification. This determines working-capital exposure.
Commercial, legal and execution risks a bidder should weigh: liquidated damages and penalties, unusual or one-sided clauses, tight timelines, and payment or security risks.
Monthly/quarterly shortfall penalties step from 10% to 20% of the contract value applicable to shortfall bands; output below 70% also triggers an immediate, non-refundable 20% charge on the sub-70% shortfall. Aggregate penalties cap at 10% of total contract value excluding GST and are non-refundable.
For unsatisfactory progress, NCL may engage another agency after 15 days' notice and recover the higher of the entire security deposit (including retention and APS) or 20% of cancelled work value, plus at least one year debarment. Contractor receives no compensation for committed equipment/materials.
NCL may omit work, reallocate quantities and in exceptional cases add up to 40% of original awarded value. It may abandon/reduce work for geology, safety, land or clearance issues, paying only measured work at contract rates with no compensation; the document nevertheless says shortfall penalty may still apply on foreclosure.
The required fleet is large and daily output is 25,445.53 BCM. Roads, ramps, dewatering, drainage, pumps, dust suppression and grading are contractor-funded with no extra payment; mobilisation timing is also internally inconsistent.
5% performance security, possible APS for a >15%-below-cost bid, and 3% retention reduce liquidity. Running bills are only 97%; retention can remain until 150 days after completion. Late security submission costs 0.1% per day and eventual failure risks award cancellation, forfeiture and debarment.
During contractor-caused extension, upward escalation is denied but downward price-variation recovery continues. This creates asymmetric diesel/wage/WPI risk if completion slips.
Lead/lift and dump allocation may change for geology, fire, water or planning, while measurements become binding if the contractor misses measurement attendance or fails to object within one week. Site may be handed over in parts.
