A 16.2 km greenfield bypass around Etmadpur and Tundla on the Agra to Etawah stretch of NH-19 is up for bids at ₹794.31 crore, with submissions due by 5 November 2026.
A new alignment east of Agra
NHAI wants a 4/6-lane greenfield bypass that takes NH-19 traffic around Etmadpur in Agra district and Tundla in Firozabad district, from design Km 0.000 to Km 16.200. Being greenfield, the job starts on open land rather than an existing carriageway, which usually means large embankments, new structures at every road and rail crossing, and fewer traffic diversions to manage.
The notice describes it as an EPC mode project handled through PIU Agra, reference UPDIV 20014/111/2026 PIU Agra (E325382). The portal lists the form of contract as item rate and gives 910 days for completion.
Is this one for you?
At close to ₹800 crore with an EMD of ₹7.94 crore, the main contract is for large road builders. For fleet owners around Agra, Firozabad and Etawah, a new 16 km alignment is a steady source of hire work for two to three years: borrow-area earthwork, haulage, and compaction on the embankments. NHAI has a lot moving in the state right now, including the Kanpur Kabrai greenfield highway tender and the Orai Barah NH-27 six-laning tender, so contractors can plan mobilisation across more than one site.
The bypass runs from design Km 0.000 to Km 16.200, about 16.2 km, on the Agra to Etawah section of NH-19.
What is the estimated cost?
NHAI puts it at ₹794.31 crore, with an EMD of ₹7,94,00,000 and a tender fee of ₹80,000.
What is the last date to bid?
Bids close on 5 November 2026 at 11:00 AM, and technical bids open on 6 November 2026.
How long do contractors get to finish?
The portal lists 910 days, a little under two and a half years.
