NHAI is relaying 41 km of the Delhi Vadodara Expressway with stone mastic asphalt in two packages worth ₹84.78 crore together, and both parts of this Delhi Vadodara expressway tender close at 4:00 PM on 29 October 2026.
Two contiguous packages on NH-148N
Package 30 covers overlay with SMA from Baletia in Panchmahal at ch. 803.420 to Pratap Nagar village in Vadodara at ch. 824.920, which is design ch. 351.000 to 372.500, at ₹44,49,71,922. Package 31 continues from the junction with SH-63 near Pratap Nagar at km 824.920 to the junction with NE1 near Dodaka village in Vadodara at km 844.382, design ch. 372.500 to 391.962, at ₹40,27,92,616.
The two reaches meet end to end at Pratap Nagar, so together they are a single 41 km run of resurfacing. Both come from the Regional Office at Gandhinagar, references NHAI/ROGNR/NE4/DVE-30/R-C/2026 and DVE-31/R-C/2026, and both allow only 90 days.
Read the phrase “risk and cost”
Both notices are at risk and cost of the contractor on a single percentage item rate. That phrase means the original contractor for this stretch did not do the work, and NHAI is getting it done through a new bidder while recovering the cost from the defaulting party. For the incoming contractor the work is normal, but the site may carry unfinished items, disputes over what is already built and a client watching the programme closely.
EMD is ₹44,50,000 for Package 30 and ₹40,28,000 for Package 31, both at 1 per cent with no exemption, and the fee is ₹10,000 each. Bids open at 4:30 PM on 30 October 2026. Gujarat has larger highway jobs live as well, including the Porbandar to Kalavad upgrade on NH-151K and the Amritsar Jamnagar missing link.
Ninety days means plant, not promises
Stone mastic asphalt is a gap-graded mix with a high binder content that needs tight temperature control, so the hot-mix plant and the paving train decide whether 41 km in 90 days is possible. Expect a paver with a tandem roller close behind and a second roller for the final pass, because SMA cannot be rolled cold.
Milling the existing surface comes first, with wheel loaders handling millings and feeding the plant, and excavators on patch repairs where the base has failed. A motor grader and backhoe loaders deal with shoulders and the junction tie-ins at SH-63 and NE1. Expressway work runs under traffic, so night paving and lighting towers come with the job. The road construction equipment guide covers the paving train in more detail.
