Two town bypasses and one realignment on NH-333A in Bihar are bundled into a single ₹114.64 crore EPC package, and the Sheikhpura Khaira bypass tender closes at 3:00 PM on 19 November 2026.
Three separate sites, one contract
The package covers construction of bypasses at Sheikhpura and Khaira along with one realignment at Sikandra, all taken to a two lane with paved shoulders standard on NH-333A. RO Patna is running it under reference RO/PAT/EPC/NH-333A/2026-27, job number NH-333A-2022-23-BR-58, with 730 days on EPC mode.
Three discrete sites in one contract is a different proposition from one continuous stretch. You can work them in parallel and finish early, or sequence them and move one crew through, and the choice changes your plant requirement completely.
Greenfield, so the land question comes first
Bypasses are new alignments, which means land acquisition and utility shifting determine when you can actually start. Ask about the status of all three sites at the pre bid meeting rather than assuming the schedule starts on the award date.
EMD is ₹1,14,00,000 with no exemption and the fee is ₹23,600. The portal shows the estimate as ₹1,14,64,00,000. The notice has been live since 5 August 2026 and bids open at 3:00 PM on 20 November 2026.
Earthwork heavy, structure light
New alignments across the Bihar plain are mostly embankment, which means borrow earth, haulage and compaction. Excavators load, tippers haul, and compactors build the fill in layers while a motor grader trims. A wheel loader keeps the crusher and hot mix plant running.
Culverts and minor bridges need transit mixers and a crane. Bihar has a strong local hire market, and three sites across Sheikhpura, Khaira and Sikandra means steady demand for tippers in particular over two seasons. Our note on road construction equipment covers sizing the layer fleet.
