NHAI wants 97.84 km of NH-39 between Bamitha, Panna and Satna strengthened and maintained for ₹107.95 crore, and the Bamitha Panna Satna tender closes at 4:00 PM on 25 November 2026.
Ninety eight kilometres in nine months
The work runs from chainage 57.160 to chainage 155.000 of NH-39 in Madhya Pradesh, a length of 97.84 km, and covers strengthening and maintenance. The Regional Office at Bhopal is in charge through PIU Chhatarpur, reference NHAI/ROMP/Chhp/NH39/O and M/Bamitha Satna/2026.
The number that stands out is the period: 270 days for nearly 98 km. That works out to roughly 11 km of finished strengthening a month, through a corridor that carries tourist traffic to Khajuraho and quarry loads around Panna and Satna. A bidder who cannot keep two or three paving fronts running at once will struggle with the programme.
Item rate on a maintenance contract
The estimate is ₹1,07,95,47,691 against bid security of ₹2,15,90,954, close to 2 per cent, with no exemption. The fee is ₹20,000 and bids open at 4:30 PM on 26 November. The form of contract is item rate, so overlay thickness and patch quantities get measured as laid, which rewards accurate survey work at the bidding stage.
Strengthening is overlay work, so the money sits in the hot mix chain rather than in earthmoving. You need a paver, a tandem and pneumatic tyred roller set, a wheel loader feeding the mix plant, and enough tippers to keep the paver from waiting. A motor grader handles profile correction and shoulder work, and an excavator deals with drain cleaning and the failed patches that have to be dug out before overlay. Two plants, one near Chhatarpur and one towards Satna, would cut haul time on a 98 km spread. Our road construction equipment guide explains how the layers fit together.
