Ashoka Bids for Bankot Creek Bridge’s Contract in Maharashtra

Ashoka Buildcon Ltd. on Friday emerged as the only firm to bid for the civil construction contract of 1.7 km Bankot Creek Bridge on EPC mode in western Maharashtra.

This new bridge over Savitri River will connect Bankot (near Vesvi Port) in Ratnagiri District and Bagmandla (near Harihareshwar) in Raigad District – view on Google Maps.

Bankot Bridge on Maharashtra State Highway SH-4 (Revas – Reddi Coastal Highway) is part of a series of at least 8 new bridges being built by Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) across creeks and rivers to cut down driving times between towns along the Arabian Sea.

This is a contract retender. MSRDC had received 4 bids in the prior round and NCC was declared as the lowest bidder for its construction in July. Their bid of Rs. 355.99 was a staggering 30.45% higher than MSRDC’s estimate of 272.88 crore, which led to the tender’s cancellation and re-invitation of bids with a 3 year deadline in August 2024.

Brief Scope: RFP FOR Construction of Major Bridge across Bankot Creek between Kolmandla District Raigad to Veshvi on Revas Reddi Coastal Highway in Ratnagiri District on EPC Mode in state of Maharashtra

Whether MMRDA is satisfied or not with receiving just 1 bid remains to be seen. If they aren’t, then this bridge will be retendered once again. If they are, then Ashoka’s technical bid will be evaluated for the next steps in the tendering process.

Here’s the current status of all bridges planned on Revas – Reddi Highway:
