Ahilyadevi Holkar Memorial Tender: Ghat, Roads and Compound Works at Choundi (Rs 126.37 Cr)

Maharashtra Public Works has ₹126.37 crore of basic civil work out at the Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar memorial site in Choundi village, Jamkhed taluka, and the Ahilyadevi Holkar memorial tender closes at 6:00 PM on 26 October 2026.

Ghat, roads and boundary before anything else

The package covers the basic works listed under Parishistha A of the conservation and development plan for the memorial site at Choundi, Taluka Jamkhed, District Ahilyanagar. The portal names construction of a river bank ghat, internal roads and a compound wall among the items. Public Works Division Ahmednagar is the inviting office, reference E Tender Notice No.09 for 2026-27 B2, with 730 days to finish.

Ghat construction is river work with a season attached. Stone steps, retaining structures and bank protection all have to be built and cured between monsoons, which is why the two-year window matters more than the headline figure.

Terms and the kind of contractor this suits

The estimate is ₹1,26,37,33,813 on an item rate contract. The EMD is ₹63,19,000 with no exemption allowed, and the tender fee is only ₹3,540. Bids open at 6:00 PM on 27 October 2026.

This is a mixed job: masonry and stonework alongside roads, drainage and boundary works, so a civil contractor with heritage-site experience and a steady stone supply chain fits better than a pure highway firm. Elsewhere in the state the Pagote Chowk greenfield highway and the Parali road over bridge on NH-361H are open.

Machines that suit stone and riverbank work

River bank work starts with excavators cutting and benching the slope, and a pick and carry crane setting the heavier stone and precast units. Internal roads and the compound wall need a backhoe loader for foundations, compactors on the subgrade and concrete mixers close to each pour. Access tracks on a riverbank are soft after rain, so tracked machines earn their keep here more than wheeled ones.
