Sixteen kilometres of the Antapur to Nilkanthapur road in Dhenkanal district are being widened and strengthened for ₹26.56 crore, and the Dhenkanal road tender closes at 05:00 PM on 26 November 2026.
A district road taken from end to end
The work is improvement by widening and strengthening of the Antapur, Balibo, Mahulapal and Nilkanthapur road from 0/000 km to 16/003 km in Dhenkanal district, for the year 2026-27. Taking a road from its start to km 16 in one contract is easier to run than a part-length job, because there is no joint with another contractor to argue about.
The Engineer in Chief (Civil) of Odisha is the inviting authority, reference CE-BRIDGES-I-19/2026-27, with 425 days allowed. The estimate on the portal is ₹26,55,57,496.
Percentage rate, EMD exemption allowed
The contract is on percentage rate against a schedule of rates. EMD is ₹26,55,600, 1 per cent of the estimate, and the portal records exemption as allowed, which helps a registered contractor conserve working capital. The fee is ₹10,000. Bids open at 11:30 AM on 27 November, the morning after closing.
Sixteen kilometres of widening on reasonably flat ground is the kind of contract a single good fleet can finish without drama. Budget for excavators and tippers on the widening and borrow earth, a motor grader to shape sub-grade and shoulders, and compactors through every layer.
A wheel loader at the crusher or the stockpile keeps the hot-mix plant fed, and a backhoe loader takes care of culverts, side drains and the hundred small jobs a village road throws up. With 425 days you have room for one monsoon, provided the earthwork is closed out before it arrives.
