Upcoming Highway Projects in Maharashtra: Tenders & EPC Leads

Projects India currently tracks 810 upcoming roadways and highway projects in Maharashtra, with a combined recorded cost of about Rs 4.13 lakh crore across projects where a cost has been captured. Of these, 37 are verified with confirmed details, one project was added to our database in the last 90 days, and two were added in the 90 days before that. The pipeline spans expressways, sea links, road bridges, urban arterials and railway corridors, making Maharashtra one of the most active infrastructure states in our national roadways database.

Maharashtra highway pipeline at a glance

Largest upcoming highway projects in Maharashtra

The table below lists the highest-value projects our database records in this scope. It includes expressways, sea links, road bridges and urban freeway projects, all of which generate substantial demand for civil works, equipment and specialist services.

The Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg at Rs 49,247 crore remains the single largest project in construction, with an expected completion of December 2026. MMRDA dominates the mid-tier pipeline with the Nhava–Sewree bridge and the Virar–Alibaug corridor together representing more than Rs 30,000 crore. MSRDC's dual sea link packages and the Worli–Nariman Point connectors add another Rs 25,000-plus crore to the coastal infrastructure queue, much of it still under approvals and therefore open for early contractor and supplier engagement. Note that several high-value projects in the largest-projects list — including the Zojila Tunnel (Jammu & Kashmir), the Delhi–Ludhiana roadway (Delhi, Punjab), the Ratlam–Vadodara roadway (Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh) and the Bikaner–Sirsa roadway (Haryana, Rajasthan) — appear in our database under this scope but are located outside Maharashtra.

Where upcoming highway projects in Maharashtra are concentrated

Geographic concentration matters for EPC teams planning mobilisation and for suppliers sizing regional inventories. As the chart below shows, Thane leads all cities with 90 projects, followed by Pune (69) and Nagpur (63). The Mumbai Metropolitan Region — Thane, Mumbai Suburban, Mumbai and Raigarh (MAH) together — accounts for a disproportionate share of project value because coastal, elevated and tunnel infrastructure carries high per-kilometre costs.

Chandrapur (29), Yavatmal (26), Jalgaon (22) and Raigarh (MAH) (24) form a secondary cluster in Vidarbha and the Konkan coast. These districts are typically served by Public Works Department, Maharashtra, which holds 234 projects with a combined recorded cost of about Rs 17,810 crore — a large volume of smaller packages that suit mid-size EPC contractors and local material suppliers. Teams targeting Maharashtra's interior road market should monitor PWD Maharashtra tenders through our live government tenders feed.

Project stages and what they signal for contractors

Stage is arguably the most actionable filter in any project database. As the chart below shows, the single largest cohort — 369 projects — is under approvals, meaning environmental clearances, land acquisition or financial closure are still pending.

A further 269 are in planning, while 156 have construction already started. Projects in the planning and under-approvals stages are where pre-bid relationship building, design consultancy mandates and early equipment quotations are won. By the time a project reaches construction, most primary contracts and major supply agreements are already placed. The 156 projects in active construction represent immediate demand for ready-mix concrete, structural steel, piling equipment, asphalt plants, tunnel boring machines (where applicable) and site services. The three projects on hold and three cancelled are excluded from the combined cost figure cited above.

NHAI leads by value at about Rs 97,998 crore across 95 projects, making it the single most important client for large EPC firms and equipment rental companies. MMRDA follows with 45 projects worth about Rs 52,394 crore. MSRDC — split across two database entries — together accounts for about Rs 35,170 crore across 35 projects, primarily in Mumbai's coastal and link-road programme. Eagle Infra India Limited appears with 11 projects worth about Rs 1,811 crore, the only private EPC name to feature prominently as a promoter in this scope. For a fuller view of active contractors and infrastructure firms, the contractor and supplier directory lists verified companies including KCB Infra LLP and peers such as Patil Construction and Infrastructure Limited, Rajbir Construction Pvt Ltd, Sharad Constructions Pvt Ltd, J M Mhatre Infra Pvt Ltd and Bhartia Infra Projects Limited, all of which are active in Maharashtra's road and highway segment.

Recent additions to the Maharashtra highway database

One project was added to our records in the most recent 90-day window: a Road Project at Dighi Port, Maharashtra, promoted by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation, with an estimated cost of Rs 256 crore, currently under approvals. Dighi Port on the Konkan coast has seen renewed industrial interest and this access-road project is a direct enabler for cargo movement. Suppliers of road construction materials, earthmoving equipment and port-access engineering services should note this project early, as the approvals stage is the right entry point for pre-qualification and relationship building. The two projects added in the prior 90-day period have since moved further along the pipeline. Our team continues to add and verify projects as they are announced; readers can request a free sample project report to see the level of detail captured.

What this means for suppliers and contractors

The Maharashtra roadways pipeline offers different opportunities depending on a firm's product or service category:

• Planning and under-approvals stage (638 projects combined): This is where design consultants, geotechnical firms, environmental consultants, land survey companies and financial advisers should be active. These clients are NHAI, MMRDA, PWD Maharashtra and municipal corporations. Early engagement here secures DPR and PMC mandates before the tender is floated.
• Construction started (156 projects): Immediate demand for asphalt, ready-mix concrete, TMT bars, structural steel, piling rigs, tunnel boring equipment, formwork systems, traffic management services, labour contractors and safety equipment. Projects like the Samruddhi Mahamarg, the Nhava–Sewree bridge and the Coastal Road are already generating this demand.
• Approvals received (3 projects): The window between approvals and tender award is short. Companies with pre-qualified status and mobilisation-ready teams are best placed. The MUTP III Virar–Vasai–Panvel railway line at Rs 12,975 crore is the most prominent project in this sub-set and will generate large orders for track, signalling, civil structures and rolling stock once tendered.
• Specialist coastal infrastructure: MSRDC's sea link packages and MMRDA's coastal corridor require marine construction expertise, pylon fabrication, cable systems, precast segments and specialised floating equipment — a narrower but high-value market with few qualified bidders.
• Mid-market volume: PWD Maharashtra's 234 projects at an average well below the NHAI scale offer a consistent flow of smaller packages suited to regional contractors and local aggregate, concrete and bitumen suppliers across Thane, Pune, Nagpur, Chandrapur and Yavatmal districts.

How to track these projects

With 810 upcoming projects in scope and stage changes occurring regularly, manual tracking is impractical. Projects India maintains a continuously updated projects intelligence database covering 84,629 projects nationally, with filters by state, city, promoter, stage, cost band and sector. Users can set alerts for new Maharashtra highway tenders, monitor stage transitions from planning to approvals to tender, and identify which EPC contractors are being awarded work. The infrastructure projects in Maharashtra view broadens the scope to power, ports and industrial projects that often co-locate with road investment. For firms that respond to formal tenders, the live tenders module tracks government notices as they are published, reducing the risk of missing a bid window.
