Key dates

All important dates as they stand after corrigenda: publication, pre-bid/clarification deadline, bid submission deadline, bid opening, and bid validity period.

Tender publication / document availability

Tender Enquiry T&I/OTE/2026/01/Deposit-13 is dated 10.07.2026; viewing/downloading is from 10.07.2026 (1500 hrs IST) to 07.08.2026 (1530 hrs IST).

MSTC Event No.: NMDC/Head Office/Transformation and Innovation/6/26-27/ET/271[Deposit 13 Conveying Tender].
No corrigendum changed these publication/download dates.

Pre-bid meeting and query deadline

Pre-bid meeting was at NMDC HO, Hyderabad on 24.07.2026 from 1100 hrs; queries were due by 24.07.2026, 1800 hrs to [email protected] (no later queries entertained).

Corrigendum-1 dated 01.08.2026 issued pre-bid clarifications/annexures; it did not reopen the query window or change bid due dates.

Bid submission deadline

Online bid submission due date remains 07.08.2026 by 15:00 hrs IST (unchanged by Corrigendum-1).

If the stated activity date is a holiday/non-working day, the next working day and time automatically applies.

Bid opening

Part-I (techno-commercial) opens online on 07.08.2026 at 15:30 hrs IST at NMDC, Hyderabad; Part-2 (price bid) opens later only for techno-commercially qualified bidders.

Price-bid opening date/time will be intimated by email to qualified bidders.

Bid validity

Bid validity is 90 days from the due date of opening of Part-1; EMD/BG must cover three months beyond offer validity (stated as 09 months from tender due date).

BDS prevails over NIT/ITT on conflicts; BDS and NIT both fix validity at 90 days from Part-1 opening.
ITT Cl. 11.4 separately says keep tender valid for six (6) months from last submission date — treat as superseded by BDS/NIT 90-day rule (also logged under contradictions).

Construction / O&M completion timelines

Construction completion is 30 months from Effective Date (6 months statutory clearances + 24 months construction, monsoon inclusive); O&M is 15 years from commissioning, extendable by 5 years on same terms.

Effective Date = date of signing of Contract or 30th day from Letter of Award, whichever is earlier.
Price Bid NPV model uses Appointed Date = 6 months from Effective Date and COD = 24 months from Appointed Date (total 30 months).
FoCA Article 5 / Appendix-2 text saying 36 months / 12+24 months is inconsistent; Corrigendum-1 confirms the 30-month NIT timeline prevails (see contradictions/corrigendum analysis).

Financials

Tender value or estimated cost, EMD/bid security (amount, acceptable forms, validity), tender document fees, performance security, and key payment terms.

Estimated project values (Base Date)

As on base date: Project Construction Cost estimate Rs. 769 Cr; O&M Charges estimate Rs. 181/T; illustrative NPV Rs. 1,357 Cr.

Base Date in the price-bid model is the Bid Submission Date.
Quoted PCC is capped at the PCC defined in FoCA Appendix-3 Cl. 2.3.1 (fixed amount INR 769 Crores / lower of quoted and fixed).
Portal metadata showing Rs 7.69 Cr is not from the tender documents; document estimate is Rs 769 Cr.

EMD / Bid Security

EMD is Rs. 50,00,000 (Rupees Fifty Lakhs); must accompany Part-I; original BG/e-BG/DD/ISB must reach NMDC before Part-I opening or the online bid is rejected.

Acceptable forms: crossed DD in favour of NMDC LIMITED payable at Hyderabad; irrevocable BG (Form-2); IRDAI Insurance Surety Bond (Annexure-A1 to GCC / Corrigendum Annexure-1); UPI (nmdcheadoffice@sbi); NEFT to SBI A/c 52057027191, IFSC SBIN0020728.
EMD validity: three months beyond offer validity, stated as 09 months from tender due date; extend with bid validity extensions.
Corrigendum-1 expressly confirms ISB is acceptable for EMD and Performance Guarantee, with validity/encashment/forfeiture aligned to BG provisions.
No tender document fee is stated; documents are downloadable from NMDC/CPP/MSTC portals.

Performance Security

Two PBGs/ISBs: (a) 10% of PCC for construction period + 1-year Defect Liability Period; (b) separate 10% of applicable O&M Value for 1st Year of Operation after commissioning, reviewed every 5 years.

To be furnished within 30 days from Effective Date in EFT/BG/e-BG/ISB; delay beyond 30 days attracts 12% p.a. penal interest; non-submission risks termination and EMD forfeiture.
For consortium, each member submits PS in proportion to equity/shareholding or 0.5% of Contract Price, whichever higher; aggregate at least 10%.
Construction PBG released after DLP; O&M PBG released on contract closure.
Letter of Credit is not applicable in this tender (Corrigendum-1 clarification).

Payment terms (HAM model)

PCC: 40% as construction support against physical milestones during construction (with GST, IDC and price adjustment); balance APCC as 6 biannual annuities over 3 years from COD with interest on reducing balance. O&M paid monthly per tonne conveyed, subject to 5 MTPA minimum guaranteed offtake by Employer.

Construction support invoices at 12.5% PCC milestones; 40% of basic milestone + 100% GST released as Construction Support.
IDC on balance cumulative PCC at average 1-year SBI MCLR + 1.25%.
Annuities start within 15 days of the 180th day of COD; subject to ≥95% availability or meeting targeted quantity, else principal withholdings apply.
O&M: if A ≤ 5 MnT and shortage is Employer’s non-supply of MGO, pay for 5 MnT @ quoted rate; if A > 5 MnT, pay actual quantity @ rate (Corrigendum confirms payment up to actual/operation quantity including above 5 MTPA).
Payments generally within 30 days of complete correct invoice; ad-hoc 75% of eligible RA bill within 10 working days; balance within 28 working days; GPF-rate interest for delays beyond 28 days (if invoice complete).
Price adjustment applicable (Appendix-4); PCC escalation capped at 15% of APCC; no cap on O&M escalation.

Bidding cost reimbursement

All-inclusive fixed lumpsum Rs. 12,00,000 will be reimbursed to every techno-commercially (Part-I) qualified bidder after communication of acceptance of their techno-commercial offer; for consortium, paid only to Lead Member.

No supporting documents required; amount is notional and does not create rights against NMDC beyond the stated reimbursement.

Evaluation / reverse auction commercial mechanics

Price evaluation is on total NPV of PCC (construction support + annuities) and O&M for the concession period; Reverse Auction on NPV is applicable with lowest original NPV as base; after RA, PCC cannot be increased vs original bid.

Bidders quote % Premium(+)/Discount(-) on estimated PCC and O&M rate.
Currency: INR only for indigenous and foreign-sourced scope (no FOB/foreign currency quoting).
NIL deviation tender.

Eligibility

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.

Domestic bidder eligibility (as amended)

Corrigendum-1 amends ITT Cl. 1.1 so the NIT is for Domestic Bidders (individual or consortium) meeting eligibility, in line with the Press Notification in the tender.

Original ITT Cl. 1.1 allowed Domestic, International or consortium bidders; the corrigendum reading prevails.

Submit audited annual reports / permitted auditor certificates with UDIN; standalone audited statements required.
Financial evaluation uses bidder’s own entity credentials, not related entities’.

Consortium / JV rules

Consortium allowed up to 3 members including Lead Member; Lead Member must hold ≥51% ownership/equity/shareholding and is responsible for entire scope; members jointly and severally responsible.

Notarized COA (Form-14) before bid due date, valid till all contractual obligations fulfilled; responsibility matrix and % share of work mandatory.

Original Lead Member cannot withdraw/be replaced during entire Contract Period; original Lead equity cannot fall below 26%; change of Lead position not before completion of 3 years of concession period.

Debarment / blacklisting / conflict / land-border

Bidders must not be debarred by Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Steel, or NMDC/subsidiaries (revised Form-15); land-border sharing bidders need DPIIT registration; Consultant-associated parties are ineligible.

Corrigendum-1 replaces Form-15 with Declaration of Debarment (DoE OM F.1/20/2018-PPD); terms Banning/Suspension/Black-Listing equated to Debarment.
NMDC banning policy grounds include fraud, poor performance, corrupt practices etc.; banning period 6 months to 3 years.
False information can lead to bid rejection; Integrity Pact mandatory for all members.

Scope of work

What is being procured: the work, supplies or services, deliverables and quantities, locations, phases, completion or delivery timelines, applicable standards, and notable exclusions.

Work being procured (BOT-HAM)

Development of feeding system and conveying system of 10 MTPA capacity to transport iron ore from Deposit-13 Mine of NCL to MV Railway Siding at Kirandul, Dantewada, Chhattisgarh on BOT–HAM basis, plus O&M of developed facilities for ~15 years from commissioning (extendable 5 years).

Employer: NMDC Limited; project location Kirandul / Bailadila area, Dantewada, Chhattisgarh.
Single-responsibility turnkey non-divisible contract covering design, manufacture/procurement, construction, installation, testing, commissioning, O&M and related permits.

Capacity, technology and design requirements

System design capacity 10 MTPA; bidders may adopt troughed, pipe, rope conveyors or combination; drawings are indicative; evaluation is NPV lifecycle-based, not technology-based.

Corrigendum/Appendix-5 clarification: PG parameter — convey minimum 2000 TPH of iron ore fines/CLO from Dep-13 to MV Siding continuously for 72 hours; Initial PG Test and Final PG Test (15th year).
Corrigendum also states bidder shall design for minimum 2200 TPH (design) capacity keeping NMDC future enhanced capacity requirements in view.
Maximum indigenous procurement mandated for utilities/services, electrics & automation and material handling equipment.
Portal structure suitable for two independent belt conveying systems (present + future) is in GCC 7.1.12; Corrigendum states future conveyor arrangement is not required / tender condition prevails — treat carefully (see contradictions).

Statutory clearances and interfaces

Obtaining statutory clearances is largely under bidder’s scope within the 6-month portion of the 30-month schedule; inside ML clearances status is given, while outside-ML EC/CTE/CTO of the conveying system are to be obtained by Concessionaire in NMDC’s name at own cost.

Inside Dep-13 ML: EC transferred to NCL; FC transfer NMDC→NCL under process; CTO currently 2 MTPA with NCL to enhance to 10 MTPA.
Corrigendum: interim EOT may be given while reserving right to levy LD; delay analysis via hindrance register after construction.
Power sourcing from CSPDCL (~7.5 MVA, proposed 6.6 kV plant supply) is Concessionaire’s scope.
Documented payments (e.g., forest demand notes for tree felling) handled per Appendix-3 Cl. 2.7.

O&M performance envelope

O&M for 15 years from COD (extendable 5 years); Employer minimum guaranteed offtake 5 MTPA; system average annual operational availability not less than 95%; design capacity 10 MTPA.

Availability excludes planned maintenance, iron-ore non-availability and force majeure; evaluated for overall system.
Annuity principal withholdings apply if availability <95% and target quantity not met.
LD for O&M shortfall attributable to Concessionaire: Monthly shortfall tons × 100% of per-ton rate, annual cap 10% of minimum guaranteed payout (5 MTPA).

Required documents & submission

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.

Submission mode and portal

Two-part online submission only via MSTC e-procurement portal https://www.mstcecommerce.com/eprocn/ (Event NMDC/Head Office/Transformation and Innovation/6/26-27/ET/271); registration and Digital Signature as per MSTC Vendor Guide are mandatory.

Part-1 techno-commercial documents then Part-2 price Excel upload (Download Price → fill offline without renaming → Upload Price → Final Submission).
Successful submission evidenced only by acknowledgement email.
Price schedule file if modified/renamed is rejected; no other price format accepted.
Scanned copy of Corrigendum-1 must be submitted in Part-I, duly signed and stamped.

Physical originals and signing rules

If EMD is BG/e-BG/DD/ISB, the original instrument must reach NMDC at the NIT address before Part-I opening time; bank should preferably send BG/ISB directly by Registered Post (A/D).

UPI/NEFT EMD: upload transaction reference in Part-1 (no physical instrument).
Integrity Pact on company letterhead, signed by Proprietor/Owner/Partner/Director or duly authorized signatory on all pages; all consortium members must sign; Corrigendum softens pure non-submission to a cure opportunity before rejection.
PoA notarized and dated not earlier than six months before bid due date; company board resolution with common seal if limited company.
NIL deviation: any post-opening deviation must be withdrawn or offer is rejected.
Each bidder only one bid; alternatives not considered.

Corrigendum analysis

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.

Corrigendum-1 (01.08.2026) — instrument & form amendments

Corrigendum-1 (Pre-Bid Clarifications) makes ISB acceptable for EMD and Performance Guarantee, replaces Form-15 with Debarment declaration, and softens Integrity Pact non-submission from automatic summary rejection to a cure-then-reject process.

ISB formats issued as Annexure-1 (EMD) and Annexure-2 (Performance Security).
Revised Form-15 (Annexure-3) limits debarment declaration to MoF, MoS and NMDC/subsidiaries per DoE OM.
BDS Cl.22 / ITT Cl.36 Integrity Pact wording amended; opportunity to cure missing/non-conforming IP.
Corrigendum is integral to tender; signed scanned copy required in Part-I.
Additional documents link provided (OneDrive) with the corrigendum.

Pre-bid clarifications with substantive effect

Annexure-A replies confirm 30-month construction (monsoon-inclusive; 6 months statutory inside 30), domestic-only bidding (ITT 1.1 rewrite), free technology choice, LC not applicable, MoU partner outside the 3-member consortium cap, PG test 2000 TPH/72 hrs, and several cost-inclusion rules (IIT reimbursable; CDI/CKIT in PCC).

Construction period: NMDC affirms NIT 30 months from Effective Date; rejects bidder requests to extend to 36/42 months.
ITT 1.1 read as Domestic Bidders only, aligning with Press Notification.
Appendix-5 Cl.3 read as min 2000 TPH continuous 72 hours; Initial + Final (15th year) PG tests.
Foreign-currency ITT 10.4(b) not applicable; price only per Table-1.
O&M payable on actual quantity above 5 MTPA; MGO protection at 5 MTPA if Employer short-supply.
No future conveyor arrangement required as a separate deliverable (while NIT portal dual-capacity clause remains — see contradictions).
Documented payments pathway confirmed for forest tree-felling demand notes.
Abnormally low/high PCC bids determined by NMDC under ITT Cl. 24 (no numeric threshold disclosed).
Most commercial clauses answered 'Shall be as per NIT'.

Values that finally apply after Corrigendum-1

No bid-date extension: submission 07.08.2026 15:00; Part-I opening 07.08.2026 15:30; validity 90 days from Part-I opening; EMD Rs 50 lakh (DD/BG/e-BG/ISB/UPI/NEFT); PCC estimate/cap Rs 769 Cr; O&M estimate Rs 181/T; construction 30 months from Effective Date; O&M 15+5 years; domestic bidders; ISB allowed; revised Form-15 and IP cure process apply.

Performance securities remain 10% PCC (to DLP) and 10% first-year O&M value (5-year review).
Reverse Auction on NPV remains applicable.
Corrigendum does not change EMD amount, PCC estimate, or bid deadlines.

Contradictions

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.

Construction period 30 months vs 36 months

NIT/BDS/Price Bid use 30 months from Effective Date (6+24), while FoCA Article 5 and Appendix-2 state 36 months / 12 months statutory + 24 months construction. Corrigendum-1 affirms the 30-month NIT timeline.

Finally apply: 30 months from Effective Date (6 months statutory clearances + 24 months construction), monsoon inclusive.
Hierarchy: BDS prevails over NIT/ITT; Corrigendum is integral and expressly answers that NIT 30 months applies; Price Bid model also uses 6+24.

Bid validity 90 days vs 6 months

NIT and BDS fix bid validity at 90 days from Part-1 opening, but ITT Cl. 11.4 requires keeping tender valid for six months from last submission date.

Finally apply: 90 days from due date of opening of Part-1 (BDS prevails over NIT and ITT on conflicts; ITT Cl. 12.1 also defers to BDS/NIT).
EMD clause still states 09 months validity from tender due date (3 months beyond offer validity).

Domestic-only vs international bidders

Original ITT Cl. 1.1 allows Domestic/International/consortium bidders; Corrigendum-1 rewrites it to Domestic Bidders only.

Finally apply: Domestic Bidders (individual or consortium) per Corrigendum-1 reading of ITT 1.1 and Press Notification.

Integrity Pact — summary rejection vs cure opportunity

Original BDS Sl.22 / ITT 36 say missing Integrity Pact leads to summary rejection/disqualification; Corrigendum-1 provides an opportunity to submit conforming IP before rejection.

Finally apply: Corrigendum-1 C amended text — cure opportunity, then rejection if still non-compliant.
IP remains mandatory for all consortium members.

Future second conveyor / dual portal requirement

GCC Cl. 7.1.12 requires a portal/civil design for two side-by-side conveyors (present + future), while Corrigendum replies state the future conveyor arrangement is not required in this contract / tender condition prevails.

Risk: scope boundary for dual-portal civil works is unclear; bidders should price per written GCC 7.1.12 unless NMDC issues a clean deletion, and seek written confirmation if relying on the 'not required' reply.
Technology drawings showing pipe downhill conveyors are clarified as indicative; technology choice is free.

Form-15 blacklisting vs debarment declaration

Original Form-15 is a broad blacklisting declaration (Central/State Govt, PSUs, regulators); Corrigendum-1 Annexure-3 replaces it with Debarment declaration limited to MoF, MoS and NMDC/subsidiaries.

Finally apply: revised Form-15 in Corrigendum-1 Annexure-3.

Pre-bid queries

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.

Confirm dual-portal / future conveyor civil scope in writing

Ask NMDC to issue a clean amendment stating whether GCC 7.1.12 dual-conveyor portal foundations/structures remain mandatory after the pre-bid reply that future conveyor arrangement is not required.

Material to PCC (civil quantities) and forest/ROW corridor width.
Current documents conflict between GCC text and Annexure-A reply.

Employer delay EOT without LD — residual risk

Seek firmer commitment that delays in RoW/forest/railway/utility/Employer approvals beyond the 6-month window entitle time and cost relief without LD, given reply only offers interim extension while reserving LD pending end-of-job delay analysis.

Statutory clearances remain bidder’s scope; Force Majeure only if declared by GoI/State.
Critical for financing and LD exposure on a monsoon-heavy Dantewada site.

Outside-ML EC/FC responsibility vs pre-bid discussion note

Reconcile GCC 7.1.7 (Concessionaire obtains outside-ML EC/CTE/CTO in NMDC name) with pre-bid discussion notes that Concessionaire is not required to get EC for some corridor segments / FC only via State.

Affects schedule critical path, documented payments and bid/no-bid for non-EC experienced contractors.

Abnormally low/high PCC threshold methodology

Request disclosure of the quantitative benchmark NMDC will use under ITT Cl. 24 to brand a PCC quote abnormally low/high and the justification process/timeline.

Reply only says determination by NMDC per ITT 24 without percentage band — creates award uncertainty after RA.

Geotechnical / alignment data completeness

Seek release of full geotechnical investigation data, borehole logs and final alignment/ROW cadastral details (or confirm bidder must price independent GI risk).

Pre-bid replies indicate limited available data and that successful bidder must survey utilities/services — material to foundation design and contingency in the Rs 769 Cr PCC cap.

Risks

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.

Aggressive 30-month schedule with bidder-borne clearances

Full construction including statutory clearances is only 30 months from Effective Date in a high-monsoon, forested mining corridor; clearances are bidder’s scope and EOT may still preserve LD rights.

Three monsoon seasons acknowledged inside the 30 months.
Inside-ML FC transfer and CTO enhancement still depend on NCL/authorities.
LD for delay: for duration >18 months, 5% contract price recovered over 15% of contract duration in weeks (pro-rata weekly), overall delay LD ceiling 5%; combined delay+PG LD ceiling 10%.

Financing and cash-flow under HAM (40/60)

Only 40% of PCC is paid during construction; 60% is deferred into 3-year post-COD annuities with interest — bidder must fund majority of Rs ~769 Cr capex plus working capital of Rs 231 Cr eligibility.

Annuity principal can be withheld for availability <95% if targets missed; withheld sums bear no interest until release.
PCC price adjustment capped at 15% of APCC.
Employer may reject unreasonably high PCC vs estimate; abnormally low/high process is discretionary.
No LC support (corrigendum).

O&M volume, availability and LD exposure

Design is 10 MTPA but revenue guarantee is only 5 MTPA; O&M LD can take 100% of per-ton rate on monthly shortfall (capped yearly at 10% of 5 MTPA payout); annuities also at risk below 95% availability.

Throughput above 5 MTPA depends on NMDC/NCL requirements — upside uncertain.
All O&M expenses beyond O&M payments borne by Concessionaire.
PG failure LD up to 7.5% and possible rejection/recovery of entire cost if minimum PG not met after third test.

One-sided commercial / compliance risks

NIL-deviation tender, reverse auction on NPV, risk purchase on award default, NMDC banning policy, and large dual securities (construction + O&M) create asymmetric bidder risk.

EMD forfeiture triggers include failure to sign contract, failure to submit CPG, unilateral price increase, non-commencement.
Bonus for early completion exists (0.5%/fortnight up to 2.5%) but only vs original schedule, not extended time.
Consultant conflict bars participation; land-border registration required where applicable.
Additional documents hosted off-portal (OneDrive link in corrigendum) — bidders must retrieve and rely on them.

Site and interface uncertainty

Limited GI data, utility unknowns, CSPDCL power connectivity, railway siding interfaces and forest land along alignment sit largely on the Concessionaire.

Site visit strongly advised before bid.
Product moisture higher in monsoon; ore property variability given in GCC.
IIT validation reimbursable on actuals; CDI/CKIT validation cost must be inside PCC.
