If you run earthmoving kit in the hills, Himachal’s Jal Shakti wing has a ₹94.20 crore irrigation job in Haroli that closes on 21 July 2026.
Behind the tender
The Irrigation and Public Health department is modernising the command area development network in Haroli block, Una district. Think channels, field structures and the civil works that carry water from source to farm across a cluster of villages. It’s a lump-sum contract, published 30 June 2026 under reference JSV/Haroli/TA/tender/26-3033. The cluster covers several villages, so the work spreads across scattered reaches rather than sitting on one neat site. One corrigendum has already gone out, so open the latest NIT before you lock your rate.
Who should take a look
An irrigation or civil contractor with hill-terrain experience is the natural fit. The EMD is ₹95 lakh and the tender fee is ₹94,197, paid online. Bid validity runs a long 180 days, which tells you the department expects a considered evaluation rather than a quick award. If you’ve run Jal Shakti or minor-irrigation contracts in the lower Himalayas, your past record here counts for a lot at evaluation.
The machines that do the work
Command-area work is excavator and backhoe country. You’ll cut channels, shape embankments and place lining, so wheeled and tracked excavators, backhoe loaders, small compactors and tippers all earn their keep. Access in Una’s terrain can get tight, so compact and mid-size machines often beat the big iron here. Keep a tipper or two dedicated to spoil disposal, and a small rock breaker attachment pays for itself the moment you hit hard strata.
