On the new Indore-Budni rail line in Madhya Pradesh, RVNL is building a long viaduct worth nearly ₹1,917 Cr, and bids are open on IREPS until 21 August 2026.
This is a major-league structures package, the kind that only a handful of firms can take on. If you build large rail viaducts, the numbers here speak for themselves.
What the contract covers
RVNL’s Bhopal project unit has invited open bids to construct Viaduct V2 on the Indore-Budni new railway line. The deck is a run of open web girder spans, two of 30.5 m and 117 of 61 m, and the scope covers the foundations, substructure and superstructure end to end. The estimated value is ₹1,916.68 Cr, which puts this among the larger railway civil packages in the state right now.
Who can realistically bid
A viaduct of this length and value is built for a large EPC contractor with deep bridge experience and the balance sheet to match. You will need heavy-structures credentials, a Class III digital signature for IREPS, and an earnest money deposit of ₹38.33 Cr. There is no tender fee. For plant owners, a job this size runs a long hire book, so cranes, launching gantries and batching plants stay engaged for many months.
Machines this build depends on
Work at this scale leans on piling and boring rigs for the foundations, heavy crawler cranes and launching gantries for erecting the girder spans, and full batching plants with transit mixers and boom placers feeding the piers and deck. Excavators and compactors handle the ground and access works. Fleet reliability is everything here, because a stalled crane or plant on a viaduct front holds up the whole line.
