Indian Army Custom Bid for Services: 100 Mbps Dark Fiber Tender Likabali to BR-II 2026

Tender Overview

Indian Army through the Department of Military Affairs invites a custom bid for services to hire 100 Mbps on dark fiber connectivity between Likabali and Badarupak II (BR-II). The project carries an estimated value of ₹5,727,303 with an EMD of ₹286,365. The absence of BOQ items indicates a broad service contract scope for establishing and maintaining the dark-fiber link. A key differentiator is the confidentiality and security requirements typical of defence telecom networks, driving stringent service continuity expectations. The Buyer Terms allow a 50% variation in contract quantity or duration at the time of contract issuance and, once issued, up to 50% more, with the provider’s consent for scope expansion in lumpsum engagements.
