Indore Development Authority is tendering a Rs 46.52 crore rail over bridge on MR-12, between Indore and Dewas stations, with bids closing on 23 September 2026.
Where the bridge goes
The structure crosses the railway at kilometre 67/10-11 between Indore station and Dewas station, carried along the MR-12 road inside Town Planning Scheme 08 in Indore. MR-12 is one of the master plan roads the authority has been opening up on the eastern side of the city, and this crossing is the piece that currently forces traffic down to a level crossing.
Design and build, not build to drawing
This is a design and construction package on a lump sum basis, so the bidder carries the design risk as well as the build. That changes who should bid. A contractor without an in-house or tied-up bridge design team will be slower off the mark and will find the approvals cycle with the railway harder to manage. Earnest money is Rs 23,25,789 and the tender fee is Rs 59,000. The deposit works out at half a per cent of the estimate, which is a set figure rather than the usual one to two per cent band, so read the NIT rather than assuming.
What the site will ask for
Piling rigs and excavators open the job on the approach ramps and pier foundations. Girder erection over a live railway line happens in traffic blocks, so a crawler crane with the right reach and a rehearsed rigging plan matters more than raw tonnage. Approach ramps on an ROB are a serious earthwork item in their own right, which brings in tippers, a soil compactor and a motor grader. Reinforced earth walls, if the design uses them, add a slow, labour-led phase that plant cannot speed up.
