MoRTH is retendering the balance work on the Naldurge to Akkalkot stretch of NH-652 at ₹99.41 crore, and the Naldurge Akkalkot tender closes at 5:30 PM on 25 November 2026.
Picking up where the last contractor stopped
The scope is upgradation to a two and four lane with paved shoulder configuration on the Tuljapur Naldurge Akkalkot road, specifically the balance work from chainage 30.884 to chainage 70.800 of NH-652. RO Mumbai is handling it through NH Maharashtra PWD at Solapur, reference NHD/TC/EPC/2883/2025 dated 4 November 2025, with 730 days.
Balance work tenders need a different kind of due diligence. Some stretches will be finished, some half built and some untouched, and the BOQ reflects what is left rather than a clean 40 km of road. Walk the alignment before you price it.
Forty kilometres of chainage, less than that of work
The chainage span is nearly 40 km but the actual quantities are whatever the previous contract did not deliver. That makes the quantity schedule the single most important document in the set. EMD is ₹99,00,000 with exemption allowed and the fee is ₹10,000, with the estimate at ₹99,41,00,000.
The portal records the form of contract as works. Published in November 2025 and closing in late November 2026, this notice has clearly run through extensions, so read the corrigenda in order. Bids open at 1:00 PM on 30 November 2026.
A patchy front needs flexible plant
Work scattered along 40 km of chainage suits machines that move easily rather than a single large spread. Backhoe loaders and mid size excavators earn their keep here, with tippers doing long internal leads between active patches.
Where full pavement is left to build you still need a motor grader and compactors, and a wheel loader at the plant. Solapur and Akkalkot have an established hire market from the earlier contract, so machines and crews who know the road are available.
