Telangana’s Roads and Buildings department has invited bids worth ₹249.49 crore to widen and strengthen 12 roads in the Nalgonda constituency, and the short notice closes on 8 September 2026.
Twelve roads, one contract, and barely a week to respond. This went out as a short tender notice on 1 September with a first-call deadline of 8 September, so anyone interested needs the paperwork ready rather than started.
What is on offer
The package groups 12 roads across Nalgonda district into a single lump sum contract. Grouping is how R&B gets a district-wide programme moving under one agreement instead of a dozen small ones, and it explains why a ₹249 crore value sits behind work that individually would be ordinary district road jobs.
The contract form on the notice is lump sum, bid validity is 90 days, and bids open at the office of the Superintending Engineer (R&B), Nalgonda.
Who this fits
A lump sum award of this size needs a contractor comfortable carrying quantity risk, because on a lump sum you own the difference when the ground turns out worse than the estimate assumed. Telangana R&B’s regular road bidders are the likely field, and the seven-day window favours firms that already hold the department’s registration and a live digital signature.
For machine owners across Nalgonda, Suryapet and Miryalaguda, the interesting part is the spread. Twelve roads means several fronts opening in parallel once the award lands, and that is a hire market rather than a bidding one.
Machines these roads will need
District road widening leans on mid-size plant that can move between sites on its own trailer. Backhoe loaders handle the drains, culverts and shoulder cutting; excavators take the heavier widening strips; soil compactors and tandem rollers do the compaction that decides whether the road survives a monsoon. A motor grader keeps the levels honest across all twelve stretches, and a steady tipper fleet keeps granular material arriving. Because the sites are scattered, a contractor typically runs two or three light fleets rather than one heavy concentration.
If you are weighing a machine purchase off the back of this work, our backhoe loader, compactor and motor grader pages compare the models district contractors actually buy, and equipment finance covers the loan and lease routes.
FAQ
How many roads are in the Nalgonda road widening tender?
Twelve roads in the Nalgonda constituency of Nalgonda district, awarded together as one lump sum contract valued at ₹249.49 crore.
How much time is left to bid?
Bids close on 8 September 2026. The short tender notice was published on 1 September 2026, so the window is only about a week.
What is the EMD and tender fee?
The earnest money is not specified on the tender summary and the tender fee is nil. Read the NIT on the Telangana portal for the bid security amount.
What does a lump sum contract change for the bidder?
You quote one price for the whole scope, so any quantity that runs over the estimate is your cost rather than the department’s. Site inspection before pricing matters more here than on an item rate contract.
