The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has issued an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) tender valued at INR 6.23 billion to build a 22.71 km four-lane access-controlled bypass in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, enhancing regional transit efficiency and alleviating municipal congestion.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has officially issued a major infrastructure tender valued at INR 6.23 billion for the construction of a 22.710 km four-lane access-controlled bypass around Tiruvannamalai town in Tamil Nadu under the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) model.
The comprehensive scope of work encompasses the construction of a 4-lane access-controlled highway starting from design km 75.150 of new NH38 to design km 88.030 of new NH38 for a total design length of 22.710 km in the state of Tamil Nadu on EPC mode. The engineering scope demands full civil alignment works, earthworks, structural developments, paving, and integration of grade separators along the bypass route.
This major highway procurement is crucial as it creates a high-capacity ring road intended to divert heavy inter-state and inter-district freight traffic away from the congested urban center of Tiruvannamalai. The city experiences severe traffic bottlenecks due to high volumes of religious tourism and commercial transit along the central NH38 corridor. Bypassing the core urban grid will reduce transit delays and lower vehicle emissions.
The project heavily impacts the transportation, logistics, engineering, and civil construction industries across Southern India. By establishing dedicated freight routes and smoother connectivity between key logistics hubs, the development lowers transport overheads for regional logistics operators while boosting regional commerce. Furthermore, local suppliers of cement, steel, heavy construction machinery, and specialized engineering services stand to gain significantly from supply chain demands during the construction phase.
From a market standpoint, the multi-billion-rupee infrastructure investment reflects the central government's focus on expanding India's national highway grid through access-controlled corridors. For engineering procurement and construction contractors, the project offers a strategic opportunity to deploy capital and enhance portfolio capabilities in high-capacity highway construction. MoRTH, as the premier central ministry responsible for the development and maintenance of national highways, continuously drives arterial road improvements to accelerate economic growth.
