NHIDCL is strengthening nearly 52 km of the Mao to Senapati stretch of NH-02 in Manipur for ₹181.34 crore, and the Mao Senapati road tender closes at 3:00 PM on 26 October 2026.
The lifeline between Nagaland and Imphal
The job covers strengthening of the Mao to Senapati section of old NH-39, now NH-02, from existing chainage km 212.328 at Mao Gate to km 264.313 at Taphou Kuki, a total length of 51.985 km, on EPC mode. The reference is NHIDCL/Manipur/ 2025/Mao-Senapati/ Strenthening/AAFS/ and it is issued from the NHIDCL corporate office in New Delhi.
This is the road that carries almost everything moving into the Imphal valley from the north. Any contractor taking it on works under traffic that cannot be stopped for long, on hill gradients, with a 365 day clock running.
Terms, and the short window left
The portal shows ₹1,81,33,87,661 as the value and ₹1,81,00,000 as the EMD, almost exactly 1 per cent, with no exemption. The tender fee is ₹23,600. The notice went up on 16 September 2026 and bids open at 4:30 PM on 27 October, a day after closing.
Strengthening is a surfacing job with hill problems
Strengthening mostly means profile correction, granular layers and a new bituminous surface rather than fresh formation. That puts a motor grader and compactors at the centre of the fleet, fed by a wheel loader at the plant. What makes it a hill job is the drainage and the slope repair alongside: excavators for the side drains and the failed shoulders, mixers for retaining and breast walls, and a backhoe loader that can work in half a carriageway without blocking traffic.
