NH-133 Four-Lane Widening Tender, Jharkhand (₹491.87 Cr EPC)

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways wants a contractor to four-lane a 37 km stretch of NH-133 in Jharkhand, and bids close on 1 September 2026.

This NH-133 widening tender covers the Hansdiha to Chopa More section (design chainage 92.380 km to 129.370 km) in Jharkhand. The work upgrades the existing road to four lanes with a paved shoulder, built on EPC mode, at an estimated cost of ₹491.87 Cr. If you run road-building fleets or lead a highways team, this is one of the larger central jobs open right now in eastern India.

What the job covers

The scope is a full four-lane widening and strengthening of roughly 37 km of NH-133, taking it from its current width to four lanes plus paved shoulders. As an EPC package, the winning firm handles design, earthwork, pavement, cross-drainage, structures and safety works together, then hands over a finished road. Expect heavy earthwork through the terrain, culverts and minor bridges, and a long paving programme across the alignment.

Who should bid

This is an EPC contract sized for established highway builders. You will need a proven record on four-laning or major widening jobs, the bonding capacity to cover a ₹4.92 Cr EMD, and a fleet that can keep several kilometres of road moving at once. Mid-size regional contractors can look at joint-venture routes if the qualification criteria in the RFP allow it, so read the eligibility section before you commit.

Machines you will need on site

A job of this length runs on earthmoving and paving plant. Plan for excavators and dozers on the formation, motor graders for the subgrade and shoulders, soil compactors and tandem rollers for layer compaction, and a paver train for the bituminous or concrete surfacing. Tippers keep the material moving, and a batching or mixing setup supports the structures. Owners who hire out graders, compactors and excavators in Jharkhand should watch how this package is split.
