Ujjain Development Authority has put out a Rs 244.04 crore item-rate package to build a tourism infrastructure and public experience zone behind the PM Ekta Mall, with bids closing on 24 August 2026.
The work is listed as the Virat Roop zone and sits on the Ekta Mall land in Ujjain. This Ujjain tourism infrastructure tender is floated through the Directorate of Town and Country Planning, with the Executive Engineer at UDA Ujjain as the inviting authority under reference UDA/ET/26/136 dated 31 July 2026. Earnest money is Rs 50,00,000 and the tender fee is Rs 59,000, both payable online.
The job in plain terms
Product category on the listing is Civil Works, Others, and the contract is item rate across three covers with 120-day bid validity. A public experience zone at this budget is site development before it is anything else: levelling and earthwork across the plot, internal roads and parking, drainage and services, hard landscaping, then the built structures and the visitor-facing elements the Virat Roop theme calls for. The BOQ and the NIT are both free to download, and the rate part is where the real scope shows up, so pull it early.
The bidding field in Ujjain
Bid history for this authority and work type points to a genuinely open field, led by mid-size Madhya Pradesh firms with a handful of tenders each rather than one dominant name. That matters for pricing. Ujjain has had a run of civic and religious-tourism work in the past two years, from entry gates to the Navgrah Shani Mandir development, so local contractors already hold the quarry rates and labour arrangements. An outside bidder is competing against that familiarity, not just against a number.
Machines a site like this pulls in
Early packages lean on excavators and backhoe loaders for bulk cut, service trenches and footings, with compactors behind them on the fill and the road layers. Motor graders come in for the internal road and parking formation. Once structures start, concrete mixers and cranes carry the load, and wheel loaders keep aggregate and stone moving through a tight city-edge site.

Why is the earnest money only Rs 50 lakh on a Rs 244 crore job?
It works out to about 0.2%, which is low against the usual 1% to 2%. The flat, round Rs 50,00,000 reads as a capped deposit rather than a percentage, and the Rs 244.04 crore estimate is disclosed on the listing alongside a Rs 59,000 fee. Confirm the deposit terms in the NIT before you plan the instrument.
When does submission actually open?
14 August 2026. The tender was published on 1 August, so there is a window before you can upload, which is useful time for the BOQ.
Is this a works contract or a concession?
A works contract. It is item rate with a priced BOQ and a disclosed estimate, so you are bidding rates against a schedule rather than bidding for development rights.
Has a corrigendum been issued?
None had been issued at the time of listing. Check the portal before you submit, because dates on Ujjain packages have moved before.
