Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation has Rs 81.37 crore of special strengthening on 23.50 km of SH-38 out to bid, and the Mhow Ghatabillod road tender closes at 03:30 PM on 1 December 2026.
Short length, short clock
The scope is special strengthening of the Mhow to Ghatabillod road, state highway 38, over a length of 23.50 km that the notice records as 47.00 km of two lane equivalent. MPRDC is the owner, the location on the portal is Dhar, and the reference number is simply 724.
The number worth staring at is the period of work: 180 days. Six months for Rs 81.37 crore of strengthening on a busy link out of Indore means the winner has to mobilise almost immediately and keep two or three fronts running at once. Bidders who plan on one paving train will struggle.
Percentage rate bidding and a light deposit
The form of contract is percentage, so you are bidding above or below the schedule rather than pricing items from scratch. The deposit is modest for the size at Rs 40,69,000, which is 0.5 per cent, and the fee is Rs 59,000. Bids open at 03:30 PM on 2 December, a day after closing.
Strengthening is mostly about laying bituminous layers on an existing formation, so the machine mix shifts away from excavation. A motor grader trims the profile, compactors in both tandem and pneumatic form do the heavy work behind the paver, and wheel loaders keep the hot mix plant fed. Excavators and backhoe loaders handle shoulder work, drains and the patches that have to be cut out before the overlay goes down. With 180 days on the clock, hiring a second set rather than moving one set along the chainage is usually the cheaper answer. Details of each layer are in the road construction equipment guide.
