Khandwa Mundi Road Tender: 31.275 km of SH-70 Rebuilt on EPC (Rs 132.64 Cr)

One working day is all that is left on the Khandwa Mundi road tender, a ₹132.64 crore EPC job to rebuild 31.275 km of SH-70 in Madhya Pradesh, closing at 3:30 PM on 22 October 2026.

Thirty one kilometres of state highway, rebuilt not patched

Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation wants the Khandwa to Mundi stretch of SH-70, from km 0.00 to km 31.275, upgraded and reconstructed as a two-lane road with paved shoulders. The notice is tender reference 720 and the contract runs on EPC mode, lump-sum on the portal, with 548 days to finish.

Reconstruction rather than overlay means the existing pavement comes out and new layers go in, so the bill of quantities carries real earthwork and granular work instead of a thin bituminous course. Khandwa sits in the Nimar belt south of the Narmada, and SH-70 towards Mundi carries cotton, soybean and quarry traffic, so the road has to be built for loaded trucks from day one.

Why the deadline is the first thing to check

The notice was published on 17 September 2026, so most of the bidding window has already gone. Bids close at 3:30 PM on 22 October 2026 and open at 3:30 PM the next day. If you are not already registered on the portal with a live digital signature certificate, this one is out of reach, and that is worth saying plainly rather than burying it.

The estimate is ₹132,64,00,000. Earnest money is ₹1,32,64,000, exactly 1 per cent, with no exemption, and the tender fee is ₹59,000. Other Madhya Pradesh road work with more time on it includes the 42 km Lukwasa Chandanpura Ogar road tender in Shivpuri and the 56.6 km Sihawal Chitrangi concrete road tender in Singrauli.

The fleet a reconstruction job asks for

Pulling up an old pavement and building a new one is a two-stage fleet. Excavators and tippers strip the existing surface and move the spoil, then fill comes in and a motor grader with compactors builds the subgrade and granular layers to level. A wheel loader keeps the crusher and the hot-mix plant fed.

Cross drainage along 31 km of Nimar terrain means culverts, which brings transit mixers and a crane onto site. A 548-day programme through two monsoons leaves little slack, so machine availability matters more than machine age. If you are sizing a road fleet from scratch, the road construction equipment guide sets out what each stage needs.
