South East Central Railway (SECR) has invited bids for an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract worth Rs 4550.2 mn for a section of the Dallirajhara-Rowghat-Jagdalpur New Railway Line in Chhattisgarh. The contract covers a nearly 30 km stretch between Kurkanar and Bhanpuri and forms part of the larger corridor linking the mineral-rich Bastar region with the state rail network. The authority has positioned the package as a key link to improve passenger and freight movement within the region.

The package covers construction from chainage 12+700 to 42+600 as Package I within the broader 140 km Rowghat to Jagdalpur alignment. The works will involve earthworks, track laying, station works and associated civil and structural works as set out in the tender documents. The contract is offered on an EPC basis to ensure integrated delivery of design and construction.

Prospective contractors are invited to study the full tender dossier and prepare bids in line with the stated timelines and financial guarantees. The authority has provided detailed technical and commercial conditions to assist bidders in assessing project requirements.
