NHAI wants the failed stretches of the four lane Panikoili to Rimuli section of NH-20 rebuilt in 120 days for Rs 84.78 crore, and the Panikoili Rimuli tender closes at 11:00 AM on 16 November 2026.
Four months to fix a distressed highway
The work is pavement strengthening and associated rectification in the identified distressed stretches of the balance four laning of Panikoili to Rimuli on NH-20, on a single percentage item rate contract. The Bhubaneswar regional office of NHAI is the inviting authority, reference NHAI/13012/257/RO/OD/2093/2026.
Only 120 days are allowed. That is the headline for any bidder: a tender worth Rs 84,78,40,686 has to be delivered in four months on a live four lane highway carrying iron ore traffic towards Paradip. The programme, not the price, will decide who wins and who regrets it.
Reading the terms
The deposit is Rs 84,80,000, about 1 per cent, and the fee is Rs 50,000. Bids open at 12:30 PM on 17 November. Because it is a single percentage item rate contract, you quote one percentage above or below the whole schedule, so the mix of items in the bill matters as much as your rates.
In 120 days you cannot afford a breakdown. Milling and overlay work wants a wheel loader feeding the hot mix plant at full output, tandem and pneumatic tyred rollers working in pairs behind the paver, and a motor grader where the base has to be corrected. Excavators and tippers clear out the failed patches, and a backhoe loader handles shoulder and drain repair. Running traffic beside you the whole time means night shifts, so plan lighting and a spare roller. Our notes on road construction equipment cover the layer by layer fleet.
