Twenty minor bridges on the Gandhidham to New Bhuj line are being rebuilt in one package, and this minor bridges tender closes on 15 September 2026 at ₹43.68 crore.
What the job covers
Western Railway’s Ahmedabad Division has reinvited a single contract to rebuild 20 minor bridges between Gandhidham and New Bhuj, in Kutch. The notice lists each one by number and chainage, running from bridge 9 at km 10/600 through to bridge 65 at km 58/436, all under the jurisdiction of Sr.DEN(NW) Ahmedabad. Reference number is DRM-ADI-130-2026-27 and the estimate is ₹43.68 crore. The word reinvited in the title matters: this went to market once before, so read the special conditions rather than assuming standard terms.
Who should bid
Earnest money is ₹87,36,400, two per cent of the estimate to the rupee, with no tender fee. Twenty structures across 48 kilometres of track is a logistics problem more than an engineering one. Each bridge is small, so the money is in how many you can run in parallel and how quickly you clear each block. A contractor with two or three independent gangs and its own transport will price this very differently from one planning to work through the list in order. Kutch adds heat and wind, and the working window around them is shorter than the calendar suggests.
Machines you will need
Small structure work, repeated. Each site needs an excavator for the open cut and foundation, a backhoe loader for services and backfill, and dewatering pumps where the bed holds water. Concrete is delivered rather than batched at 20 scattered sites, so transit mixers and a small concrete pump make sense. A hydraulic mobile crane handles box segments, girders and precast, and plate compactors plus a small roller close out the approaches.

Location
Gandhidham to New Bhuj section, Kutch, Gujarat (km 10/600 to km 58/436)
Yes. They are tendered together under one notice, spread between km 10/600 and km 58/436 on the Gandhidham to New Bhuj section. The NIT lists every bridge number and chainage.
What does reinvited mean here?
The tender went to market once already and is being floated again. Terms can differ from the first round, so read the current special conditions rather than working off an older copy.
How much is the earnest money?
₹87,36,400, which is two per cent of the ₹43.68 crore estimate. There is no tender fee on this package.
What drives the cost on scattered small structures?
Mobilisation and blocks, not quantities. Twenty sites across 48 km means repeated setup, transport and traffic-block coordination, so parallel gangs usually beat a single crew working down the list.
