Kannur CRIF Road Tender: Improving the Alachi to Thillenkery Road (Rs 31.02 Cr)

A ₹31.02 crore package of general civil work will improve the Alachi to Thillenkery road in Kannur district under the central road infrastructure fund, and the Kannur CRIF road tender closes at 5:00 PM on 30 November 2026.

What the package covers

The scope is improvements to the Alachi, Machoormala, Maloor, Peringanam and Thillenkery road in Kannur district, listed as General Civil Work-1 under CRIF 2025-26. The reference is 05/2026-27/SE/NH/KKD/SN and the inviting office is NH Kerala PWD Kozhikode under the regional office of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways at Thiruvananthapuram.

CRIF funds state roads of economic importance from the central road and infrastructure fund. Work on this kind of road in north Kerala means widening in places, drains and retaining structures through habitation, culvert repair and a new surface, all with properties and compound walls close to the edge.

Numbers and the bidding window

The estimate is ₹31,02,03,796, the EMD is ₹46,60,000, about 1.5 per cent, and the tender fee is ₹16,540. The form of contract is item rate and the period is 540 days. Bids open at 11:00 AM on 2 December.

Kerala has a steady run of highway work live, including the Anjilimoodu to Kumily strengthening on NH-183 and the one time improvement of NH-966 between Kozhikode and Palakkad. A contractor working in Kannur or Kozhikode can run plant across more than one of them.

Narrow site, steady output

Kerala road jobs are rarely about volume, they are about working in a corridor with people living on both sides. A backhoe loader and a mid-size excavator cover drains, culverts and widening cuts, while the pavement goes down with a paver, rollers and a motor grader for the profile. Mixers feed drain and retaining wall work, which on this alignment is a large share of the bill. Our road construction equipment guide covers the trade-offs between machine sizes on constrained sites.
