Public Works Region-Pune wants a contractor to widen and strengthen 25 km of the Pandharpur bypass road network in Solapur, and bids close on 27 July 2026.
The work runs from Km 0/000 to Km 25/000 along the Wakhari, Takali, Kasegaon, Anavali, Mundhewadi and Degaon roads in Pandharpur taluka, Solapur district. It is packaged as a single lump-sum EPC job worth about Rs 155.89 crore, which is a serious road contract for a mid-to-large civil firm working in western Maharashtra.
What the job covers
This is a strengthening-and-widening package, so expect a full mix of earthwork, granular and bituminous layers, cross-drainage, and roadside protection over the whole 25 km stretch. Being a pilgrimage town, Pandharpur sees heavy seasonal traffic, and the bypass roads carry that load away from the temple core. Whoever wins will need to keep local movement running while the work goes on.
Who should look at this
The lump-sum EPC form and the Rs 155.89 crore size point to an established road contractor with its own paving and earthmoving fleet. If you already run graders and compactors in the Solapur, Sangli or Pune belt, this is close to home. Machine owners who hire out to EPC firms should note the fleet this package will pull in for roughly a year of work.
Machines you will need on site
Plan for excavators and tippers on the earthwork, a motor grader and rollers for the granular and bituminous layers, a paver for the wearing course, and concrete equipment for drains and culverts. Bid validity is 120 days, so line up your fleet and financing before you commit.
