Fifty-one kilometres of four lane highway between Garamore and Samakhiyali in Kutch need strengthening and overlay, and NHAI closes the NH-27 Samakhiyali tender at 4:00 PM on 25 November 2026.
Patchy stretches across a long TOT section
The section runs from km 254.537 to km 306.000 of NH-27 and sits inside a toll operate transfer project. NHAI is not resurfacing the whole 51.5 km; the notice says strengthening and overlay at various stretches, which in practice means the distressed lengths identified in the condition survey. Reference NHAI/ROGNR/NH-27/G-S/R-C/Overlay/2026, Regional Office Gandhinagar.
Only 75 days are allowed, the shortest period in this batch of Gandhinagar work. A bidder who cannot mobilise a plant in Kutch within a fortnight will struggle to finish.
Recovered from the concessionaire
This one is at the risk and cost of the existing concessionaire, the party that holds the TOT rights and was supposed to keep the pavement to standard. NHAI executes the work and bills them. Your contract and your payments come from NHAI.
Seventy-five days on a scattered 51 km means the fleet travels more than it paves. Keep the hot-mix plant central, run wheel loaders on aggregate feed, and move the paver and rollers as a single set between patches. Milling and shoulder repair keep an excavator and a motor grader busy, and water tankers matter in Kutch summers. Salt-laden air is hard on hydraulics, so wash down daily.
