NH-40 Chittoor Tender: One Time Improvement of a Bypassed Stretch in Chittoor Town (Rs 36.11 Cr)

Inside Chittoor town limits, 4.3 km of the Kurnool to Chittoor to Ranipeta highway is going for a full rebuild on EPC mode, and the NH-40 Chittoor tender closes at 3:00 PM on 3 December 2026.

A left over stretch inside the town

The scope is one time improvement of the existing left over bypassed road stretches from km 354.531 to km 358.842 of the Kurnool to Chittoor to Ranipeta road of NH-40, within Chittoor town limits, under the 2026-27 annual plan. When a bypass opened, this length stopped being part of the through route but kept carrying local and mixed traffic, which is why it needs a one time rebuild rather than routine patching.

Reference NIT07/OTI/SE.NH.ATP/2026-27 from NH Division Vijayawada. The portal does not state the work period, so take the schedule from the bid document.

Deposit and competition

The estimate is ₹36,11,00,000 with an EMD of ₹36,11,000, again 1 per cent, and a fee of ₹11,800. Bids open the day after closing. At this size and in a town, expect bidding from established Andhra and Tamil Nadu contractors rather than from large EPC houses.

Chittoor district has two other live opportunities worth checking in the same trip: balance works on NH-140 from Chittoor to Mallavaram and a blackspot underpass at Ithepalli on NH-140.

Utilities first, pavement second

The hardest part of a town rebuild is everything under the road. Water lines, cables and drains all have to be found and dealt with before the pavement goes down, which puts backhoe loaders and small excavators on the critical path. Once the formation is clear, motor graders and compactors build the layers in short lengths, and transit mixers supply drains, kerbs and footpaths. A pick-and-carry crane is useful for precast drain units in narrow sections.
