Jharkhand Road Construction Department is spending Rs 33.60 crore on improving the riding quality of 26.85 km of the Simariya to Tandwa road in Chatra, with bids closing on 21 September 2026.
Scope of the contract
The work runs from km 0.00 to km 26.85 of the Simariya to Tandwa road under the Road Construction Department Division at Chatra, and it is booked against the 2026-27 programme. Improving Riding Quality of Pavement, or IRQP, is the department shorthand for a resurfacing package: profile correction, patch repair where the existing crust has failed, and a fresh bituminous surface across the full length.
Why a machine owner should care
Resurfacing contracts are the bread and butter work for a contractor who owns a plant and a paving train, because the quantities are simple and the cash cycle is short compared with a bridge or a new alignment. Rs 33.60 crore across 26.85 km works out at roughly Rs 1.25 crore a kilometre, which is a normal band for IRQP work on a state road carrying coal belt traffic. Earnest money is Rs 33,60,000, exactly 1 per cent, and the tender fee is Rs 10,000.
The machine spread
You will want a hotmix plant within a sensible lead of the stretch, a sensor paver, one tandem roller and one pneumatic tyred roller as a minimum, plus a tipper fleet sized to the daily lay. A milling machine earns its keep where the old crust has to come off before the new layer goes down. Chatra sits in a heavy coal movement corridor, so plan for traffic management and for compaction under loads that arrive long before the notional design life.
