Navgrah Shani Mandir Tender: Ujjain Development Authority Rebuilds the Precinct (Rs 117.2 Cr)

Ujjain Development Authority has put ₹117.2 crore of development work at the Navgrah Shani Mandir out to tender, and the Navgrah Shani Mandir tender closes at 5:30 PM on 18 November 2026.

One year to build a temple precinct

The notice is short on description and clear on scale. The Directorate of Town and Country Planning, through Ujjain Development Authority, has tendered development of the Navgrah Shani Mandir at Ujjain, reference UDA/ET/172/26 DATE 28/10/2026, at ₹1,17,20,00,000 on a percentage rate contract with 365 days. The portal classes it as civil works, others.

Ujjain is spending heavily ahead of the 2028 Simhastha, and precinct development at a major temple follows a familiar pattern: plazas and paving, approach roads, queue and shelter structures, water supply and drainage, lighting and public amenities. A single year for work of that value means several fronts running at once.

What the bid terms tell you

EMD is ₹50,00,000 with no exemption, and the tender fee is ₹59,000, which is high enough to deter casual bidders. Bids open at 5:30 PM on 19 November, the day after closing. Because the published scope is thin, the bid document and drawings are where the real quantities live. Download them before you cost anything.

Work of this type in Ujjain tends to go to contractors who already have plant in the city, because mobilising for twelve months is expensive. The Ujjain STP tender at Sadawal is open in the same city, and the Indore convention centre tender is the nearest comparable urban development job.

Urban site work under a deadline

Precinct work is earthwork, concrete and finishing, in a place that stays open to the public. Backhoe loaders handle most of the trenching, demolition support and material shifting in tight spaces, with an excavator on the bulk cut and the foundations. Paving and plaza slabs need steady concrete from transit mixers and a compactor on the subgrade, while structures bring in a pick-and-carry crane. With 365 days and a festival calendar in the background, machine availability matters more than machine size.
