NHAI is tendering the balance bituminous concrete overlay left over on the six-laned Panipat to Jalandhar section of NH-1 at ₹50.35 crore, and the Panipat Jalandhar tender closes at 11:00 AM on 5 November 2026.
Finishing what a concession did not
The parent project six-laned NH-1 from km 96 to km 387.100 across Haryana and Punjab as a build, operate and transfer toll concession under the fifth phase of the national highway development programme. What this tender covers is narrower and more specific: the balance bituminous concrete overlay works on the stretches that remain, in both states. PIU Ambala under the Regional Office at Chandigarh is the inviting office, reference NHAI/RO/CHD/2026-2027/AMB/33.
Work of this kind is scattered rather than continuous. You price a set of stretches, not one run of road, so mobilisation and traffic management eat a bigger share of the cost than the quantity of bitumen suggests.
Terms, and the comparison worth making
The declared value is ₹50,35,32,074 on an item rate contract with 365 days. EMD is ₹50,35,000, 1 per cent, and the fee is ₹25,000, the highest of the three NHAI notices in this wave. Bids open at 11:30 AM on 6 November.
A 291 km corridor with work in patches is a logistics problem. The crew that wins will move a paver, compactors and a tanker fleet along the alignment in stages, with a motor grader for shoulder tie-ins and excavators for milling support and drain clearing. Night working is normal on a six-lane toll road, so lighting and machine condition matter more than raw numbers. Plant owners in Panipat, Karnal, Ambala and Ludhiana are all within reach of the alignment.
