Telangana’s biggest road tender of the season is live: NHAI wants a 58.87 km four-lane of the Jagtial–Karimnagar stretch of NH-563, and bids run until 27 August 2026.
What’s on offer
Nearly ₹1,980 crore, one corridor. NHAI has invited bids to four-lane the Jagtial–Karimnagar section of NH-563, from the Jagtial bypass at design chainage 0.000 (existing ch. 90.500 on NH-63) to design chainage 58.866 near the Karimnagar bypass. It’s a DBFOT-mode job on an item-rate schedule, so you price against measured quantities rather than a lump sum. At ₹1,979.11 Cr, this is one of the larger highway contracts running in the state right now.
Why owners should watch it
A 59 km four-laning is months of earthwork before the black-top ever appears. Whoever wins will be running excavators and dumpers to build embankment, graders and compactors to hit density, and a full paving train once the base is ready. Structures across drains and cross-roads pull in piling rigs and cranes. For fleet owners around Jagtial, Karimnagar and Peddapalli, an award here means steady rental demand well into next year — worth tracking even if you never file a bid.
The entry cost
The EMD is a hefty ₹19.79 Cr and the tender fee ₹2,00,000, so the prime slot is major-EPC territory. But the real opening for smaller players is downstream: aggregate supply, machine hire and sub-packages once the contractor mobilises.
