NH-135BG Chitrakoot–Satna Four-Lane Widening Tender, Uttar Pradesh & Madhya Pradesh

NHAI wants a contractor to turn 77 km of NH-135BG between Chitrakoot and Satna into a four-lane divided highway, and bids close on 19 August 2026.

What the job covers

The National Highways Authority of India has floated an open tender to widen the existing two-lane stretch of NH-135BG to a four-lane divided carriageway with paved shoulders, running from Km 0.000 to Km 77.102 across the Chitrakoot–Majhgawan–Satna section. The route sits in both Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, and the work goes out on the hybrid annuity model. At an estimated ₹1,653.12 crore, this is one of the larger highway packages on the board right now, so NHAI expects a bidder who can carry that kind of programme over a long build.

Who this suits

This is an EPC-grade job. You need a track record on national-highway widening, the balance sheet to handle a HAM concession, and the equipment fleet to keep 77 km of earthwork, structures and pavement moving in parallel. Smaller firms are better placed as subcontractors on earthwork or structures rather than lead bidders. Bid validity runs 120 days and the tender fee is ₹1,70,000, paid offline.

Machines you will run on site

A widening job at this length keeps a full spread busy: excavators and dozers for cut and fill, motor graders and compactors through the subgrade and base, plus batching plants, transit mixers and pavers for the concrete and bituminous work. Structures along the alignment will pull in cranes and piling rigs. Owners with graders, rollers and tippers to spare will find steady deployment here once the contract is awarded.
