A 15.572 km four-lane greenfield bypass linking NH-44 and NH-39 south of Jhansi is out to bid at ₹427.29 crore, and the Jhansi southern bypass tender closes on 23 September 2026.
The alignment
NHAI is building a four-lane access-controlled greenfield connector that starts at Km 16.920 of NH-44 near Bangay Khas village, runs at design chainage 0.030, and ends in a T junction at Km 6.650 of NH-39 near Orchha at design chainage 15.542. Design length is 15.572 km. The tender itself says the work sits in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, which is why it is filed here as a cross-state job rather than under one state. The reference is MPDIV-21/ 27/2025-MP Division, it is an item rate contract on EPC mode, and the estimate is ₹427.29 crore.
Who should bid
Earnest money is ₹4,27,00,000, almost exactly one per cent of the estimate, and the tender fee is ₹20,000. At a shade over ₹427 crore for 15.5 km, this prices out at roughly ₹27 crore a kilometre, which is normal for a greenfield four-lane with structures rather than a widening job. EPC mode means the bidder carries design, so a contractor without an in-house or tied-up design team is at a disadvantage. The short length is the attraction here: it is a whole standalone corridor, not a slice of a mega package, so a mid-tier highway contractor can own the whole job.
Machines for a greenfield connector
New ground means everything starts with clearing and earthwork. Hydraulic excavators and tippers move the cut and fill, motor graders and soil compactors build the formation, and dozers spread. A bypass tying into two national highways brings grade separators and a T junction, so expect piling rigs, crawler cranes, a batching plant, transit mixers and concrete pumps for the structures. Pavement work needs a sensor paver, tandem and pneumatic rollers, and a wet mix plant. Because the corridor is short, plant utilisation is what decides the margin, so a contractor running owned fleet close by has the edge.
