NHAI is widening NH-719 from Gwalior to Prithvipur, 77 km going from two lanes to four, and bids shut on 6 July 2026.
The stretch
This is Package 1 of the NH-719 upgrade in Madhya Pradesh, from Km 0.000 at Tansen Chowk (Purani Chhawani, Gwalior) to Km 77.000 near Prithvipur. NHAI is running it on Hybrid Annuity Mode under reference PROJ22011/2/2026 PIU Gwalior. The existing two-lane-with-paved-shoulder road becomes four-lane with paved shoulder. The estimated value is ₹1,182.25 crore and the EMD is ₹11.82 crore. The window is short — submission closes 6 July 2026 — so anyone still deciding needs to move.
Who should bid
HAM highways suit road EPC players who can bring equity and lenders alongside the build. You’ll need four-laning experience, a bank-ready financial package and a plant fleet sized for 77 km of carriageway, structures and cross-drainage. For the machine trade around Gwalior, a job this length means months of steady hire once it starts.
Road plant the job demands
Earthwork and subgrade call for excavators, motor graders, soil compactors and a run of tippers. The pavement layers bring wet-mix and hot-mix plants feeding sensor pavers, then tandem and pneumatic rollers to finish. Culverts, minor bridges and the four-lane structures add batching plants, transit mixers, boom pumps and cranes. Water tankers and bitumen sprayers round out a typical highway spread.
