NHAI has floated a ₹3,144 crore package for a 58.6-km section of the Shamli-Gorakhpur corridor in Uttar Pradesh.
New Delhi, September 26, 2026: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has invited bids for a ₹3,144.05 crore package covering a 58.6-km section of the Shamli–Gorakhpur high-speed access-controlled corridor in Uttar Pradesh. Major bidding and procurement packages are tracked in Equipment Brief’s Tender Watch.
The tender covers the stretch from Chainage 84+500 to 143+100 and is being procured under the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM). The notice was published on 16 September 2026, with bid submission scheduled to close on 4 November 2026 at 11:00 AM and bids to be opened on 5 November 2026 at 11:30 AM. The tender carries a 910-day period of work.
The tender documents describe the work as development of a greenfield high-speed, access-controlled corridor from Shamli to Gorakhpur. The Package 2 document set includes the NIT, RFP, General Arrangement Drawing, plan and profile, technical schedule, concession agreement and financial bid sheet. The official Government eProcurement System lists the tender under NHAI’s Head Office and Technical organisation.
The tender value is ₹31,44,05,00,000, with an EMD of ₹31.44 crore and a tender fee of ₹3.20 lakh. The bid validity is 120 days. The tender is classified as a works procurement for civil works.
Package 2 is one part of a broader series of Shamli–Gorakhpur corridor packages being put to market by NHAI. Other packages on the same corridor are also listed in the government e-procurement system, indicating that the current procurement activity extends beyond this 58.6-km section.
For contractors and equipment businesses, the immediate development is therefore the procurement itself rather than construction mobilisation. The current notice establishes the package scope, commercial parameters and bidding timetable; it does not yet establish an awarded contractor or an equipment deployment plan.
The next milestones are the bid submission and opening dates, any corrigenda issued before the deadline, evaluation and award, and subsequent concession and financial-close milestones. These will determine when the project moves from procurement into execution.
Equipment requirements should not be inferred from the tender value alone. Once a contractor is selected and the construction programme is disclosed, the mix and timing of earthmoving, aggregate processing, concrete, paving, compaction and haulage equipment can be assessed with greater confidence.
