A 36.6 km four-lane road with paved shoulders from Bhagalpur to Kharhara village is out to bid at ₹763.72 crore, and the Bhagalpur Kharhara tender closes at 4:00 PM on 30 November 2026.
The job on NH-133E
The contract runs from km 0.000 to km 36.600 of NH-133E, ending at Kharhara village near Dhaka More, in Bihar on EPC mode. MoRTH is the authority, reference RW/PAT/NH133E/Bhaglpur73/22-23, and the portal allows 730 days for the work.
The tender ID carries a 2023 prefix, which means this notice has been on the portal through more than one bidding cycle with the submission date carried forward to 30 November 2026. That history is worth checking in the corrigendum trail before you price it, because scope and quantities sometimes move between cycles.
Money on the table
The estimate is ₹7,63,72,00,000 with an EMD of ₹7,65,00,000 and no exemption allowed. The fee is ₹80,000, and bids open at 11:00 AM on 1 December 2026, the Monday after closing.
This is Ganga basin alluvium, which means soft subgrade, a high water table and borrow pits that fill up in the monsoon. Embankment volumes are the main cost, so excavators and a long tipper fleet dominate the first year, with compactors working in thin lifts to get density in silty soil.
Culverts and minor bridges over the local channels need transit mixers and a crane for girders. A motor grader trims the formation and the service roads. For owners around Bhagalpur and Munger this is two seasons of steady hire if the work starts before the next rains.
