Ujjain Municipal Corporation has put package 1 of its Kshipra river work out at ₹32.52 crore, covering ghat redevelopment and riverfront development, and the Kshipra riverfront tender closes at 5:00 PM on 16 November 2026.
Water rejuvenation, ghats and allied infrastructure
The notice describes the work as a water rejuvenation project including ghat redevelopment, riverfront development and allied infrastructure along the Kshipra river in Ujjain, package 1. It comes from the corporation’s Simhasth Cell under reference 45/Simhasth Cell/2026, with the Directorate of Urban Administration and Development above it.
Nine months is what the portal allows: 270 days. For riverfront work that is the headline fact. River-edge construction has to fit between monsoons, and a ghat rebuilt on a flood-prone bank needs its foundations and toe protection in before the water comes up. Read the programme in the bid document against the river’s own calendar.
A deadline that does not move
The estimate is ₹32,51,80,070, the EMD is ₹16,25,900 with no exemption, and the tender fee is ₹50,000, which is steep for a job this size and screens out casual bidders. The form of contract is item wise and bids open at 11:00 AM on 18 November.
Work tied to a religious calendar carries a hard completion date, and the 270 day period reflects that. Price the risk of working to a fixed event deadline rather than a flexible one. Ujjain already has a sewage treatment plant at Sadawal and a temple precinct job at the Navgrah Shani Mandir out, so plant and labour in the city will be in demand through 2027.
River-edge work, with the water close by
Ghat and riverfront construction is excavation, stone and concrete in a place where you cannot always reach the work. Excavators with long reach are the useful machines on a river bank, cutting the profile and placing protection stone from the berm. A backhoe loader handles the service trenches and the tighter corners between structures, mixers supply steps and retaining work, and a crane sets heavier stone and precast elements. Dewatering is a line item in its own right: budget pumps and the fuel to run them continuously.
