Fifty five kilometres of NH-26 between Koksara and Nabarangpur are going to two lanes with paved shoulder for ₹182.8 crore, and the Koksara Nabarangpur tender closes at 12:00 noon on 23 November 2026.
Across Kalahandi and Nabarangpur
MoRTH wants the existing two lane road widened and strengthened to a two lane road with paved shoulder from km 239.280 at Koksara to km 294.280 at Nabarangpur, under EPC mode. The work sits in Kalahandi and Nabarangpur districts and comes through the NH Odisha PWD division at Kesinga under the Regional Officer at Bhubaneswar, reference 07 CE NH of 2025-26.
This is LWE territory, handled by the P5 Delhi wing. Site security, labour movement and night working all need planning that a plains contractor may not be used to. The 720 day period gives room for two full working seasons.
Bid terms and the Odisha pipeline
The estimate is ₹1,82,80,00,000 with an EMD of ₹1,82,80,000, exactly 1 per cent, and no exemption. The fee is ₹23,600. The notice has been live since November 2025, so documents have circulated widely and the closing date has clearly moved more than once. Bids open at 3:30 PM on 27 November.
Fifty five kilometres means material leads are the cost driver, not the machines themselves. Set up two camps rather than one and keep a quarry tie up at each end. Excavators and tippers do the shoulder widening and the drain work, a motor grader and compactors follow for the granular layers, and transit mixers serve the culverts and minor bridges. A wheel loader at each crusher and hot mix plant keeps the chain moving. For fleet sizing, see our guide to road construction equipment.
