NHIDCL has a 90-day, ₹32.40 crore repair job on NH-108B and NH-208 in Tripura at the risk and cost of the original EPC contractor, and the Tripura NH-208 restoration tender closes at 5:00 PM on 21 October 2026.
What is being repaired, and why now
The job is restoration works on road stretches of the Kailashahar-Khowai packages, packages I, II, IV and V, on NH-108B and NH-208, carried out through a short-term maintenance contract (STMC) for 2026-27. The cost falls on the EPC contractor who built the road, which is why it is called a risk and cost contract. This is the third call. NHIDCL’s regional office at Agartala issued it under reference NHIDCL/RO-Agt/STMC/Risk Cost/NH-108B NH-208/P-I,II,IV,V/2026-27/783.
The window is very short. Bids opened for submission on 11 October and close on 21 October, so this only suits contractors already registered on the portal with documents ready.

Ninety days for repairs across several packages means many small crews at once. Expect pothole and patch work, edge repair, drain cleaning and some reconstruction. Backhoe loaders and mini excavators clear failed sections, compactors and a paver relay them, and a motor grader fixes shoulders. Our road construction equipment guide has more.
