NHAI gets warm response from Bidders for Four-Laning of Dhamasiya-Bitada in Gujarat

Published: Mar 12, 2026

By TIOLCorplaws News Service

NEW DELHI, MAR 12, 2026: NHAI received an overwhelming response from the bidders for implementation of the 4-laning of the 47.46 km long Dhamasiya-Bitada/Movi section and the 60.21 km long Nasarpore-Malotha section in Gujarat on Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) mode.

The project was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by the Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February 2026, with a total project length of 107.6 km and a total capital cost of Rs. 4,583.6 crores. Bids were invited by NHAI for construction and received encouraging participation from the bidders. Four-laning of the Dhamasiya-Bitada/Movi section on NH-56 received six bids and four-laning of the Nasarpore-Malotha section on NH-56 received seven bids, reflecting robust competition and keen interest from National Highway developers. The contract is expected to be awarded in the current financial year.

The projects will be designed for 100 km/h, enabling an average speed of 70 km/h, which will cut travel time by 40% - from 2.5 to 1.5 hours . With a total length of 107.6 km, the projects will help generate about 19.38 lakh man-days of direct employment and 22.82 lakh man-days of indirect employment. The projects will also induce additional employment opportunities due to an increase in economic activity in the vicinity of the proposed corridor.

The projects pass through the Aspirational District of Narmada and will improve connectivity to tribal areas in Dahod, Chhota Udepur, Tapi, and Bharuch, thereby helping in the economic growth and development of the region. Boosting tourism, the project will also improve connectivity to the Statue of Unity, a prominent national tourist destination located in Kevadia village at a distance of about 11 km from NH-56.

Once completed, the projects will provide continuous four-lane connectivity from Bodeli to Malotha, thus easing congestion on NH-56 and further enhancing connectivity to NH-53, NH-48, and the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, thereby strengthening overall connectivity and economic growth in the region.
