Two separate reaches of NH-166 between Kolhapur and Sangli, 33.609 km in all, go to hybrid annuity bidders at ₹758.75 crore, and the Kolhapur Sangli tender closes at 11:00 AM on 26 November 2026.
Two reaches in one contract
The scope is four-laning from Sangli Phata at km 0.00 to Chokak at km 7.738, and again from Chokak at km 145.300 to Ankali at km 171.171. Together that is 33.609 km of NH-166 in Maharashtra, on hybrid annuity mode under NH(O), under reference NHAI/Tech/MH /Sangli-Kolhapur/ 2025. The portal allows 730 days.
Split reaches change how you plan. The chainages are far apart on paper but both sit in the Kolhapur to Sangli belt, so a single camp between them can serve both fronts if the haul roads work out.
Hybrid annuity means a lender in the room
Under HAM the contractor funds part of the construction cost and gets paid back in annuities after completion. You need the debt tied up before bidding, not after. EMD is ₹7,59,00,000 with no exemption, the fee is ₹80,000, and bids open at 11:30 AM on 27 November 2026. The notice has been live since 18 February 2026.
Much of this stretch sits on black cotton soil, which swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That usually means excavating the top metre and replacing it, so excavators and tippers carry more volume than the length suggests. Compactors and a motor grader then build the capping and pavement layers.
Structures across the Panchganga and Krishna tributaries bring in transit mixers and a crane, and wheel loaders feed the plant. Machine owners in Kolhapur, Ichalkaranji and Sangli are inside an hour of both fronts, which is as good as mobilisation gets.
