South Central Railway’s construction wing has floated a ₹94.93 crore railway earthwork, bridges and track-laying contract for its Hyderabad Division, with bids open now and closing 5 August 2026.
If you run an earthmoving fleet in the Telangana belt, this railway earthwork tender is worth a close read. The SCR Construction Organisation is putting out formation work, cutting, bridge construction and track laying as a single works contract, the kind of job that keeps a fleet of excavators and tippers running for a full season.
Scope on the ground
The heart of it is earthwork in formation and cutting, the bulk soil movement that shapes a rail corridor, followed by minor and major bridge structures and the track-laying that ties it together. Railways tenders like this carry heavy documentation, so budget time for the bid-capacity proforma, the JV format and the general conditions before you price. There is no tender fee.
Who should bid
You need to be a railway-approved civil contractor with formation and bridge experience to clear the technical bar. The EMD is ₹1.90 crore, which sits at the usual 2% of value, so treat that as your entry ticket. Contractors already working South Central Railway packages will read the special conditions fastest, but any approved firm with the right plant-and-machinery record can compete.
Machines the work demands
Formation and cutting mean excavators, dozers, tippers and soil compactors moving earth day after day, with motor graders trimming the finished profile. Bridge work adds cranes and concrete equipment. This is earthmoving at volume, so owners with a deployable tipper-and-excavator fleet near Hyderabad have the most to gain from the sub-contract flow.
