The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has invited bids to treat 30 landslide locations along NH-09 in Uttarakhand, an EPC package valued at Rs 207.19 crore that closes on 14 September 2026.
The work runs from km 64.380 to km 186.085 on NH-09 (the old NH-125), a hill stretch that loses shoulders and slope material every monsoon. This package sits in the NH(O) Annual Plan 2026-27 and is being tendered by the Regional Office at Dehradun. For contractors who already run plant in Kumaon, it is one of the larger slope-protection jobs on offer this year.
What the package covers
Thirty separate landslide locations spread over roughly 122 km of national highway. Slope treatment of this kind usually means a mix of breaking and benching the failed face, rock anchoring or netting where the slope is unstable, building retaining and breast walls at the toe, and rebuilding the drainage so water stops undercutting the formation. Because the sites are scattered, the winner will be moving crews and machines between locations rather than parking on one long front.
Who this suits
Hill-road experience matters more than sheer size here. Firms that have handled protection works in Uttarakhand, Himachal or the North East will read the risk correctly: short working windows between monsoon spells, narrow carriageways with live traffic, and material haulage over grades that punish a tired fleet. Small and mid-sized contractors can compete on packages like this if their plant is genuinely hill-capable.
Machines you will need on site
Expect tracked excavators in the 13 to 21 tonne class with breaker and bucket attachments as the workhorse, drilling equipment for anchors and nails, and compactors for the rebuilt formation. A concrete mixer or small batching setup will be needed for wall work, and tippers sized for hill roads rather than plains haulage. If you are sizing a fleet against the payment schedule, our equipment finance guide covers the usual EMI structures.
