The Bari Sadri to Neemuch new broad-gauge line needs its last stretch finished, and the Nimuch railway line tender closes on 14 September 2026 at ₹91.91 crore.
What the job covers
North Western Railway is bidding the balance work that takes the Jaloda Jageer to Nimuch section from formation to a running railway. The scope list is long and almost entirely earth and structure: earthwork in bank and cutting, blanketing, protection works, ROB and RUB approaches, platforms, platform shelters, station buildings, circulating area, drains, retaining walls and quarter works. It belongs to the Bari Sadri to Nimach new line project via Chhoti Sadri, which runs from Rajasthan into Madhya Pradesh under the Ajmer Division. Reference number is BI-NMH-T-09R.
Who should bid
Earnest money is ₹1,83,82,800, which is two per cent of the ₹91.91 crore estimate to the rupee. Nothing about this package is exotic, but it is wide: a bidder has to run earthmoving gangs, a small structures team and a building team at the same time, then hand over a section fit for commissioning. Contractors who have closed out a new-line package before will recognise the risk, which is that the leftover items are scattered along the alignment rather than stacked in one place. Mobilisation cost per rupee of work is higher here than on a fresh formation contract.
Machines you will need
Earthwork in bank and cutting is the volume item, so excavators, dozers and a fleet of tippers carry the job. Blanketing needs motor graders and vibratory soil compactors to hold layer thickness and density, and that is where a commissioning inspection usually gets tight. Retaining walls, ROB and RUB approaches bring in concrete: transit mixers, a pump and a mobile crane for girders and shuttering. Platforms, shelters and station buildings finish with a backhoe loader, small compactors and a concrete mixer.

FAQ
Which states does this line run through?
The Bari Sadri to Nimach alignment starts in Rajasthan, where Bari Sadri and Chhoti Sadri sit, and ends at Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh. That is why the package is filed across states rather than under one.
What does balance work mean on a new line?
The items left between a part-built formation and a section fit for commissioning. Here that covers earthwork, blanketing, protection works, structures approaches, platforms, buildings and drainage rather than fresh alignment from zero.
What is the earnest money?
₹1,83,82,800, exactly two per cent of the ₹91.91 crore estimate, and there is no tender fee. That two per cent figure is the standard railway rate on works of this size.
Is blanketing a big part of the cost?
It carries more risk than value. Blanket layers have to meet thickness and density at inspection, so grader control and compaction discipline decide whether the section passes first time or gets reworked.
