Pithoragarh Landslide Tender, Uttarakhand (₹325.62 Cr)

MoRTH has put six chronic landslide zones on the Pithoragarh national highway out to tender at ₹325.62 crore, and bids close on 25 August 2026.

What the job actually covers

Six separate slide locations along the hill highway are bundled into one works contract. They sit at Ch 73.270–73.370 near Ghagra, Ch 81.450–81.755 near Kalika, Ch 94.720–94.830 near Tapowan, Ch 97.040–97.415 near Dobat, Ch 100.465–101.425 near Jumma, and Ch 106.230–106.360 near Tawaghat. Anyone who has driven this stretch during the monsoon knows the names. These are the spots that shut the road every year.

The tender is listed under civil works, with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways as the department and the Chief Engineer of Project Hirak inviting the bids. Treatment at this scale usually means slope cutting, retaining and breast walls, rock anchoring and soil nailing, catch drains and surface protection. The full technical schedule sits in the NIT and BOQ on the portal, and you should read it before pricing anything.

Who this one suits

At ₹325.62 crore across six locations, this is an EPC-grade job, not a small patch contract. You want a bidder with real Himalayan slope experience: working on a live highway, hauling on gradients, and building through a monsoon window. Firms that have handled BRO or NHIDCL hill work in Uttarakhand or the Northeast are the natural fit. Smaller contractors will find more room here as subcontract packages once the main award lands.

Machines you will need on site

Hill slide treatment is equipment-hungry and access is tight. Expect long-boom and standard excavators with rock breaker attachments for benching and scaling, drilling rigs for anchors and nails, and cranes for placing steel and shuttering on slopes. Add concrete mixers for wall and apron work, compactors for backfill, and a steady tipper fleet for muck disposal down valley. Machine owners near Pithoragarh should track this award closely, because six sites running together means sustained hire demand.
