MoRTH is upgrading the Shahgarh to Damoh stretch of NH-34 through Buxwaha and Narsinghgarh to two lanes with paved shoulders at ₹397.68 crore, and the Shahgarh Damoh tender closes at 5:30 PM on 12 November 2026.
Sixty three kilometres through Bundelkhand
The contract covers Ch 113/00 to Ch 176/500 of NH-34 in Madhya Pradesh on EPC mode, which is 63.5 km. The NH Division at Bhopal under the Regional Office is the inviting authority, reference CE-RO/BHP/Tender/05/2025-26, and the portal allows 730 days.
Shahgarh, Buxwaha and Narsinghgarh sit in the Sagar and Chhatarpur belt where the diamond and granite country starts. The road carries mining traffic as well as general freight, which is part of why a two-lane paved shoulder standard was chosen over a simple resurfacing.
Exemption allowed on the deposit
The estimate is ₹3,97,68,00,000 with an EMD of ₹3,97,68,000, again 1 per cent, and the portal records that EMD exemption is allowed. That is unusual on a MoRTH package of this size and it widens the field to firms holding a valid exemption. The fee is ₹47,200 and bids open at 12:30 PM on 13 November 2026.
Bundelkhand is rock close to the surface. Widening to paved shoulders means cutting the existing berm into rock in places, so excavators with breakers do more work here than a bucket alone would. Crushed aggregate is usually available locally, which keeps wheel loader and tipper movements short.
The pavement train is conventional: hot-mix plant, paver, motor grader and compactors. Culverts and causeways across the seasonal nallahs need transit mixers. Water is the constraint in this belt, not stone, so bidders plan tanker logistics for compaction before the summer.
