NHAI wants a six-lane vehicular underpass built at Panchalingala on the Hyderabad to Bengaluru section of NH-44 for ₹29.77 crore, and the Panchalingala underpass tender closes at 3:00 PM on 5 October 2026.
A blackspot fix with a canal crossing
The job is the long-term rectification of a blackspot listed by MoRTH as AP-02-085 / AP-04-183. NHAI’s Regional Office at Hyderabad wants a six-lane VUP with a single 20 metre span and 4.5 metre clearance at km 202.860. The scope also has a slip road for the Sunkesula underpass on the right-hand side and a minor bridge across the KC canal.
It is an EPC contract, reference NHAI/RO-HYD/Blackspots/NH-44/ Hyd-Bgl/2026/25. The portal shows 2,280 days as the period of work, which on NHAI structure jobs normally includes the maintenance years after construction. Check the split in the bid document.
A size that suits regional firms
At under ₹30 crore this is within reach of state-level bridge and road contractors. EMD is ₹29,76,800, the fee is ₹10,000 and there is no exemption. Bids open at 3:00 PM on 6 October 2026.
NH-44 stays open while the underpass goes in, so the first task is a diversion road. Excavators and tippers cut the underpass box and build the approach ramps, motor graders and compactors lay the diversion and slip road, and a crane places girders for the span and the canal bridge. Transit mixers serve the retaining walls and deck. Hire fleets in Kurnool are right next to the site.
