New Highway Projects in Rajasthan: Tenders & EPC Leads

Projects India currently tracks 187 upcoming road and highway projects in Rajasthan across all stages, with a combined recorded cost of approximately Rs 1.11 lakh crore. Of these, 14 are marked verified in our database. NHAI alone accounts for 107 projects in this pipeline, making Rajasthan one of the most active highway-investment destinations in the country right now. Contractors, equipment suppliers and B2B sales teams will find a concentrated set of high-value opportunities at various stages of readiness.

Rajasthan highway pipeline at a glance

Largest new highway projects in Rajasthan

The table below lists the highest-value projects in our database for this scope, drawn from verified and tracked records as of 26 October 2026.

Several features stand out in this list. Kota dominates the highest-value tier, with four NHAI projects alone ranging from Rs 1,900 crore to Rs 7,900 crore, all yet to leave the approvals or planning stage — meaning procurement activity is still ahead. In contrast, the Ajmer corridor is already in motion: the CG Tollway and Kishangarh Gulabpura Tollway projects, together worth nearly Rs 4,000 crore, both show construction started, indicating active site work and ongoing procurement. Private concessionaires such as Tata Realty and Infrastructure Limited and Sadbhav Jodhpur Ring Road Private Limited are also in the mix, widening the range of awarding authorities that suppliers need to engage.

Where the new highway projects in Rajasthan are concentrated

As the chart below shows, project activity is spread across the state but clusters firmly around a few cities.

Kota leads with 12 projects, followed by Ajmer with 11. Udaipur and Karauli each host 6 projects, while Jaipur and Bikaner account for 5 each. Nagaur and Jodhpur add 4 projects apiece, with Churu and Barmer contributing 3 each. For sales teams, this geography points to a clear priority list: Kota and Ajmer are the densest opportunity clusters, but Udaipur, Jodhpur and Jaipur carry significant value and should not be treated as secondary. Suppliers covering western Rajasthan should also track Barmer and Bikaner, where NHAI presence is confirmed. The spread across the state reflects the scale of the national highway network being built out, with all roadways and highway projects in Rajasthan now tracked in one consolidated database.

Project stage distribution and what it means for timing

Understanding which stage a project sits at is the single most important factor in deciding when to engage. As the chart below shows, the pipeline is heavily weighted toward early stages.

Of all projects tracked in this scope (including completed and cancelled ones), 92 are under approvals and 55 are in planning — together accounting for the majority of the active pipeline. Only 40 have construction started, and 29 are completed. This distribution tells a specific story: the bulk of Rajasthan's highway investment has not yet reached the procurement stage. Projects under approvals are typically going through regulatory, environmental or investment clearances. Planning-stage projects are being designed, DPRs finalised and financing arranged. Suppliers and EPC contractors who engage now — presenting credentials, registering with the right awarding authorities and monitoring progress — will be positioned before tenders are formally floated. Waiting until construction starts means competing against contractors already shortlisted months earlier.

Most active promoters and awarding authorities

Knowing who controls the budget is as important as knowing where the projects are. As the chart below shows, the promoter landscape is dominated by NHAI but includes several private concessionaire entities.

NHAI leads by a large margin with 107 projects and a combined recorded cost of about Rs 92,832 crore. The Public Works Department, Rajasthan is the second most active promoter with 44 projects worth about Rs 3,199 crore — a materially different profile from NHAI, favouring smaller state road works, upgrades and maintenance packages that suit mid-tier contractors and local material suppliers. North Western Railway appears with 9 projects worth about Rs 188 crore, primarily covering road-over-bridge and level-crossing works that intersect with the railway network. Private toll concessionaires — PNC Rajasthan Highways Private Limited, Sadbhav Udaipur Highway Private Limited, CG Tollway, Kishangarh Gulabpura Tollway, Tata Realty and Infrastructure Limited, Sadbhav Jodhpur Ring Road and Ircon PB Tollway Limited — collectively add further projects across the construction-started stage. Each of these entities has its own procurement processes, vendor registration requirements and subcontracting patterns, so suppliers should map their approach by promoter type rather than geography alone. Those interested in the broader infrastructure project pipeline in Rajasthan will find that highway spending forms the largest single component.

What this means for suppliers and contractors

The stage distribution and promoter mix together define where each type of business should focus its effort.

• Engineering consultants and DPR specialists: The 55 planning-stage projects are the immediate priority. These engagements cover detailed project report preparation, alignment studies, traffic surveys, geotechnical investigations and environmental assessments. Firms not already empanelled with NHAI or PWD Rajasthan should act on that registration now.
• EPC contractors and civil works firms: The 40 construction-started projects represent live site work. Procurement for subcontracts — earthworks, pavement layers, structures, drainage — is active or imminent. The Ajmer corridor projects and the Jaipur ring road are the clearest entry points at this stage.
• Equipment suppliers and plant hirers: Road construction equipment — pavers, compactors, batching plants, crushers — is in demand wherever construction has started. The Kota cluster, once projects clear approvals, will represent one of the densest single-city mobilisation demands in the pipeline.
• Material suppliers (aggregates, steel, bitumen, cement): Both construction-started and late-planning stages generate procurement. Ajmer, Kota and Jaipur projects together cover a wide procurement catchment and reward suppliers with established logistics in central and eastern Rajasthan.
• Safety, signage and technology vendors: Intelligent transport systems, toll equipment and road safety hardware are specified at design stage and procured during construction. Early engagement with concessionaires — particularly CG Tollway, Kishangarh Gulabpura Tollway and Sadbhav entities — improves the chance of being included in technical specifications.

How to track these projects

With 92 projects under approvals and 55 in planning, the Rajasthan highway pipeline will generate a significant volume of tenders and contract awards in the months ahead. Monitoring this manually — across NHAI portals, the PWD Rajasthan site, North Western Railway notices and individual concessionaire disclosures — is time-consuming and error-prone.

Projects India consolidates all of these into a single projects intelligence database, updated as project status changes. Users can filter by city, stage, promoter and cost range to build a shortlist relevant to their business. For those who want to intercept tenders the moment they are published, live government tenders are tracked separately and can be filtered by sector and state. A free sample project report is available for teams that want to see the data format before subscribing. Contractors and suppliers looking to be found by project developers can also list themselves on VendorConnect, our contractor and supplier directory.

For the full list of upcoming projects across all infrastructure categories in the state, the infrastructure projects in Rajasthan section covers roads, railways, utilities and more — 84,671 projects are tracked nationally across all sectors.
