Surety bonds for contractors in Noida
A surety bond is a guarantee issued by a general insurance company in place of a bank guarantee. For contractors in Noida, it means no fixed deposit as margin and no use of the bank’s non-fund limit – both stay free for working capital. Keiri Tech’s Funding Desk checks your eligibility, prepares the proposal and gets quotes from insurers.
Who issues tenders in Noida
Contractors here mostly work for Noida Authority, YEIDA, UPSIDA, UP PWD, NHAI and the Noida Metro Rail Corporation. Many Noida contractors work on road, metro, drainage and building works for the Noida Authority and on expressway packages. Central bodies such as NHAI accept surety bonds; for Noida Authority and other state bodies it depends on the tender clause.

Common questions
Can I get a surety bond in Noida?
Yes. The bond is issued by an IRDAI-licensed general insurer, not by a local branch, so it does not matter where in Noida you are. Our team in Greater Noida prepares the proposal and collects quotes; you sign the indemnity and pay the premium.
Will my tender accept a surety bond?
Central government departments and bodies such as NHAI accept insurance surety bonds like bank guarantees, subject to the tender. For Noida Authority, YEIDA, UPSIDA and other state bodies, read the bid security and performance security clause or send us the tender and we will check.
Is margin money or an FD needed?
No. Insurers do not ask for margin money. The contractor, and usually the promoters, sign an indemnity to repay the insurer if a valid claim is paid.
How much does it cost?
Roughly 0.5% to 3% of the bond amount a year, depending on the bond type, your financials, track record and the project.
