Why Choose This?
Exclusive Defense Tenders
Enlistment grants you the exclusive right to bid for highly confidential and lucrative infrastructure projects for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and other defense organizations.
Highly Secure & Timely Payments
Defense departments are known for their financial discipline. Working with MES ensures that your project payments and bills are cleared promptly and securely upon milestone completions.

Frequently Asked Questions
MES categorizes contractors into several classes based on their tendering limits. The classes generally range from Class 'E' (for smaller values up to ₹50 Lakhs) to Class 'D', 'C', 'B', 'A', 'S', and Class 'SS' (for unlimited tender values).
Yes. Because MES deals with defense and military installations, security is the highest priority. A clear Police Verification report for all key personnel (Directors/Partners/Proprietor) is strictly mandatory before enlistment is granted.
Generally, past construction experience is heavily evaluated for class allotment. However, MES does have special provisions for unemployed Graduate Engineers or Diploma holders to enlist in lower classes (like Class 'E' or 'D') to encourage startups, provided they meet the financial criteria.
Once registered, the MES enlistment is typically valid for a period of 5 years. After this period, contractors must apply for renewal or upgrading their class based on their performance during those 5 years.
The MES enlistment manual is highly complex, and even minor formatting errors in affidavits or financial certificates can lead to rejection. Shree Meera Corp provides end-to-end consultancy—from auditing your eligibility and liaising with CAs for exact MES-format financial reports, to handling the final submission and departmental queries, ensuring a 100% compliant application.
