Holenarasipura Bypass Tender: 10.3 km on NH-373, Karnataka (Rs 430.68 Cr)

Holenarasipura town in Hassan district gets a 10.3 km bypass on NH-373 under a ₹430.68 crore EPC contract, and the Holenarasipura bypass tender closes at 3:00 PM on 30 November 2026.

Chikknahalli to Hullahalli, around the town

The alignment starts at km 87.280 near Chikknahalli and ends at km 97.580 near Hullahalli on NH-373, in Karnataka, on EPC mode under the NH(O) annual plan for 2023-24. The Regional Office at Bangalore is the inviting authority, reference RW/BNG /NH-373/Bypass Holenarasipura/14/2022, and the period of work is 730 days.

At ₹430.68 crore for 10.3 km this works out to over ₹41 crore a kilometre, which is high for a two-lane standard bypass and points to significant structures, land development or utility work inside the scope. The bill of quantities will show where the money sits.

What it takes to bid

EMD is ₹4,30,68,000, exactly 1 per cent of the ₹4,30,68,00,000 estimate, with no exemption allowed. The fee is ₹59,000. The notice went up on 28 January 2026 and bids open at 3:00 PM on 1 December 2026, the day after closing.

Karnataka has steady structure and highway work out at the moment. The NH-75 blackspot grade separator tender is the larger job, and the Nethravathi bridge crossing at Mangaluru suits bridge specialists.

Red soil, coconut country, plenty of crossings

This is the Hemavathi basin: red laterite soil, irrigated land and a canal or stream every few kilometres. Earthwork is straightforward but the cross drainage is not, so the programme usually runs structures first and pavement last. Excavators handle cutting and foundation work, and a crane sets slabs and girders.

Pavement needs a motor grader and compactors behind the plant, with wheel loaders on aggregate. Hassan, Mysuru and Mandya all have fleet owners within reach, and a two-year bypass job close to home is better business than a distant highway package at the same rate.
