Rajasthan water resources is channelizing the Sagarmati river from Khanpura to Govindgarh in Ajmer district for Rs 50.82 crore, and the Sagarmati river channelization tender closes at 6:00 PM on 23 October 2026.
Re-sectioning a river through three villages
The work covers channelization, re-sectioning and bank protection of the Sagarmati river from the Khanpura to Govindgarh reach, passing through Dourai, Dumada and Bhavta villages in Ajmer district. The notice comes through the water resources department under the Kota zone, reference ACE Nit No 15/2026-27/WRD-II AJMER, on a percentage rate contract with 730 days.
Channelization work means giving the river a defined section so flood water stays in the channel instead of spreading into fields and settlements. That is excavation, bank shaping and protection on both sides, usually with stone pitching or concrete where the flow turns.
Deposit, fee and the two season reality
The estimate is Rs 50,82,37,000 with a deposit of Rs 1,01,64,740 at 2 per cent and a Rs 20,000 fee. Bids open at 3:00 PM on 26 October. The portal allows 730 days, which in practice gives two dry seasons, because you cannot work in the channel when it is flowing.
River work is heavy on excavation and light on finish. Excavators do the re-sectioning and place the bank protection, and a long boom machine helps where the section is wide. Spoil has to be hauled out and used in the banks, so tipper numbers decide your daily output. Wheel loaders handle stone and aggregate stockpiles, concrete mixers serve the toe walls and drop structures, and a compactor brings the rebuilt bank and the service track to density. Soft river bed ground makes track width and ground pressure a real consideration.
