Kulthana-Rajpura New Broad-Gauge Railway Line Tender

Western Railway is laying a new broad-gauge line between Kulthana and Rajpura, tunnels included, and the EPC contract takes bids until 30 October 2026.

Scope of work

The Dy Chief Engineer (Construction-I), Indore, has invited an EPC tender — reference DyCE-C-I-IND-RKGC-EPC-2 — for a new BG line between roughly Km 28/970 and Km 42/040, taking in the Kulthana and Rajpura stations. The tender documents include tunnel specifications, so this stretch cuts through hilly ground rather than plain-field alignment. The estimated value is ₹1,112.26 crore, EMD is ₹22.25 crore, and there’s no tender fee. You get about four months to prepare, with bids closing 30 October 2026.

Right fit for bidders

New-line railway work with tunnelling suits established heavy-civil and railway EPC firms. You’ll need formation, bridge and tunnel experience, plus the plant to hold several fronts open at once across a 13-km-odd corridor. For machine owners and hirers, this is the kind of long job that ties up fleets for the full build.

The machines that build a rail line

Formation earthwork means excavators, dozers, motor graders and soil compactors, with a steady line of tippers and dumpers shifting cut and fill. Tunnel headings bring in drilling jumbos, loaders and muck haulage. Bridges and station structures need cranes, piling rigs and concrete — batching plants, transit mixers and pumps. Rock stretches usually add breakers and, where used, controlled-blasting support.
