₹73.63 crore is on the table to widen a ten-kilometre stretch of NH-548C in Maharashtra, with bids open until 15 October 2026.
The stretch and the scope
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is upgrading NH-548C from km 6.600 to km 16.300, the Khamgaon to Shegaon section, to a four-lane paved-shoulder standard on EPC mode. You handle design and build together: earthwork, subgrade, pavement layers, drains, culverts and road furniture across roughly ten kilometres. Two-lane to four-lane means fresh embankment, widened culverts and cross-drainage works along the way, so the earthwork quantities are real, not token. The reference is 05/EENH/AKL/2026-27, dated 30 June 2026.
Who fits
This is highway contractor territory. If you’ve delivered NH or state-highway packages before and can post the ₹73.63 lakh EMD, you’re in the frame. Line up your joint-venture partner and bank guarantee early, because MoRTH qualification for a ₹73-crore EPC package is not something you sort in the last week. The paved-shoulder spec also means you’ll want a steady fleet on the ground through the season, not hired-in bits and pieces at the last minute.
What the road eats
A job like this runs on motor graders, soil compactors and tandem rollers for the formation, then pavers and rollers for the surfacing. Add excavators and tippers for cut-and-fill, plus a batching plant if the structures need in-situ concrete. Keep water tankers and a service crew on call too, since compaction in Buldhana’s summer heat lives or dies on moisture control. Machine owners in Vidarbha, this is the kind of contract that keeps a grader and a roller booked right through.
