Umbraj Elevated Corridor Tender: 1.3 km of Six Lane Deck on NH-48 (Rs 102.26 Cr)

NHAI wants a six lane elevated deck carrying NH-48 over Umbraj town, and the ₹102.26 crore Umbraj elevated corridor tender closes at 11:00 AM on 17 December 2026.

A short deck doing a lot of work

The scope is construction of a six lane elevated corridor from Km 698.600 to Km 699.900 on NH-48, including service roads through Umbraj city. That is 1.3 km of structure. It is the descoped work of Kagal Satara Package 2, tendered on EPC mode under NH(O) by PIU Kolhapur, reference MHDIV-20016/153/2025-PIU Kolhapur/294264. The portal shows ₹1,02,26,00,000 and 730 days, and flags it as the second call.

Descoped means this length was taken out of the larger package and put out on its own. Towns like Umbraj are where six laning usually stalls, because the carriageway cannot be widened through the built-up section. Lifting the highway over the town on a deck, with service roads underneath for local traffic, is the standard answer.

Second call, and what the terms ask

EMD is ₹1,02,00,000, roughly 1 per cent, with no exemption, and the fee is ₹20,000. Bids open at 11:30 AM on 18 December. A second call usually means the first did not produce a workable response, so the field may be thinner this time, which is worth knowing if you were put off by the structure content before.

The parent package is still live separately: NHAI’s Kagal Satara balance six-laning tender on NH-48 covers Package I at ₹994.97 crore. Further north the Ghoti Trimbak four-laning tender is open as well.

Structure plant, in a town, with traffic running

This is viaduct work, so the fleet is different from a road job. Expect a piling rig on the foundations, excavators on the pile caps and the service road boxing, and a heavy crane for pier caps and girder launching. Concrete demand is steady rather than huge, which suits a dedicated batching setup feeding transit mixers. Service roads and approaches need a compactor and a motor grader, with a backhoe loader on diversions and drains throughout. Two years next to live highway traffic through a market town means night pours and tight working widths. The road construction equipment guide covers the spread.
