Fifty two kilometres of half-finished coastal highway go back to the market: the NH-965DD tender covers the balance rehabilitation and two-laning of the Pacharal Mandangad Mhapral Rajewadi section at ₹69.18 crore, closing at 5:00 PM on 26 November 2026.
Picking up an unfinished stretch
The scope is the balance work of rehabilitation and upgradation to a two-lane road with paved shoulders on the Pacharal Mandangad Mhapral Rajewadi section of NH-965DD, from Ch 22700 m to Ch 75100 m up to the junction with NH-66, plus the Ambadave connector spur. The Pen office of Maharashtra PWD handles national highways here for MoRTH, reference No.NHD/PEN/AB/TC/2026-27/2502 dated 12.10.2026.
Balance-work contracts are their own skill. The new contractor inherits whatever the last one left, which means a joint survey, a clear record of what is already built and a realistic view of how much of the existing layer can stay.
180 days, which explains the rate
The portal gives only 180 days of work period against a ₹69,18,17,892 estimate on an EPC contract. That is a compressed programme for 52 km. The EMD is ₹69,18,000 with no exemption, exactly 1 per cent, and the tender fee is ₹10,000. Bids open at 11:00 AM on 30 November 2026.
On a six-month balance-work job the plant has to arrive ready. Motor graders and compactors do most of the work if the formation survived, with excavators on drains, cross drainage and slope repairs. Keep a backhoe loader per gang for culverts and side drains, and mixers for structures. Konkan laterite cuts soften quickly once rain starts, so drainage before paving is the order that saves money. The road construction equipment notes cover the usual layer sequence.
