East Central Railway is looking for an EPC contractor to build 11.7 km of new broad-gauge line from Sitamarhi to Rewasi in Bihar, a ₹201.38 crore package covering earthwork, bridges, track and station buildings; bids close 24 December 2026.
The work in brief
This railway line tender is Package EPC-15 of the Sitamarhi-Sheohar new BG line project, covering chainage 0.700 to 12.400 from Sitamarhi (excluding) to Rewasi (including). The scope takes in earthwork, blanketing, minor and major bridges, track works, station buildings and other structures, all built to the 25T Indian Railway Standard Loading. The inviting office is the Chief Administrative Officer (Construction), HQ Engineering, East Central Railway, and bidding runs through IREPS with no tender fee.
Which contractors fit this package
Railway civil EPC firms are the target: the single agreement carries design, procurement and construction, so you need in-house engineering alongside execution muscle. The EMD of ₹4,02,76,700 works out to exactly 2 percent of the estimated cost. With bids open until 24 December 2026, there is unusual breathing room to inspect the alignment, study the 120-document drawing set and price the bridge quantities properly instead of rushing a number.
Equipment you will see on site
New-line earthwork and blanketing keep excavators, dumpers and motor graders busy for months, with compactors following every lift of the formation. Bridge work brings in cranes for girder handling and steady concrete production. Fleet owners in north Bihar should note the timeline: award in early 2027 would put peak equipment demand through that dry season.
