Here is one a strong regional player can actually win. MoRTH wants two major bridges and one minor bridge on NH-35 in Banda rebuilt on EPC terms. The job is about ₹51.78 crore, the EMD is a light ₹51.78 lakh, and bids close on 27 July 2026.
What is involved
You rebuild two major bridges, at km 77.60 and km 92.85, and one minor bridge at km 97.02 on NH-35 in Uttar Pradesh. It is EPC, so design and build sit together and the quantity risk is yours. MoRTH’s NH Division at Banda runs it, with bid opening at the SE NH Circle, PWD Prayagraj. Reconstruction usually means taking down the old structure, sinking fresh foundations, and casting a new deck — all while keeping the road working alongside.
Within reach of a regional firm
This is the most approachable bridge job on this list. At ₹51.78 crore with an EMD of just ₹51.78 lakh, you do not need a national EPC balance sheet to be in the room. If you have been doing minor bridges and culverts and want to step up to major-bridge work, this is the kind of package to aim for. Read the similar-work and bid-capacity clauses in the RFP first, then decide.
What you will put on site
Expect piling rigs, a hydraulic or crawler crane, a batching plant, transit mixers, concrete pumps and excavators for the demolition and earthwork. Own part of that fleet and your numbers look better straight away; hire the rest locally for the run of the job. If you already have a piling rig and a batching plant working nearby, moving them to Banda costs you very little.
