The Gandhidham–Kandla port stretch of NH-141 is getting a sixth lane — MoRTH has ₹78.61 crore on the table, and bids close 23 July 2026.
The stretch
MoRTH’s NH Division at Gandhidham wants NH-141 upgraded to six lanes with paved shoulder from km 5.560 to km 14.014, on the busy Gandhidham–Kandla port corridor in Kachchh. The scope skips the existing ROB section (km 5.885–6.870) and the interchange (km 9.795–11.735) and adds a new six-lane main carriageway across the rest. This is a port-feeder road that carries heavy container and cargo traffic, so the work has to hold up under real load. It’s floated as a second attempt on a works contract, valued at ₹78.61 Cr.
Machines the corridor needs
Six-laning a live port road is earthwork, structures and paving in tight coordination. Excavators and dumpers widen the formation, graders and compactors build the base, and a paver-and-roller set lays the fresh lanes while traffic keeps moving alongside. Cross-drainage and the new carriageway structures bring in concrete kit and cranes. For owners around Gandhidham, Anjar and Bhuj, a Kandla-corridor job means dependable hire close to home.
The numbers
The EMD is ₹78.61 lakh — the standard one percent — with a light ₹10,000 tender fee and a 120-day bid validity. Being a second attempt, the terms are settled, so a quick read of the BOQ and the excluded-section boundaries is the first job before you price.
