Mumbai Port Authority

Mumbai Port's archived E.47/2026 invitation covers three annual maintenance-dredging campaigns at an estimated INR 281.70 crore. Its listed 24 August deadline has passed and the current procurement outcome remains unverified. Each campaign carries a 24-week completion period and a 45-day nominated-TSHD requirement.

The three-cycle invitation is now archived

The official archive and all seven corrigendum/query entries were checked on 15 October 2026. They retain 24 August at 15:00 as the final listed close; the latest CPPP result remains unverified. The annual budget, January 2024 SOP, E.47/2023 register and T.47A/2017 register provide accounting, compliance and historical-contract context. The harbour chart shows channels, anchorages and dumping grounds.

Each campaign closes on its own survey

The contractor will maintain live navigation while moving between lump-sum depth obligations and measured work beside structures. Each campaign ends on hydrographic acceptance, so production, siltation, berth access and disposal records need to be reconciled annually rather than rolled into one three-year total.

Evidence conclusion

Confirm the procurement result before planning mobilisation

Mumbai Port's archive retains a 24 August 2026 bid close for E.47/2026. The current CPPP outcome, contractor appointment and accepted price remain unverified. Each annual cycle needs its own notice, nominated plant, pre-dredge survey, mobilisation, DS1 permissions, production record, post-dredge survey and completion certificate. The INR 65 crore budget line and INR 216.40 crore preceding award belong to different records.
