Pagote–Chowk independent-engineer assignment

Advertised · consultancy value undisclosed

Source-supported facts

A separate independent-engineer procurement is recorded under 2024_NHAI_211063_1 for the Pagote–Chowk project, with an indexed revised deadline of 30 September 2026 at 11:00 IST.

The associated highway notice carries ₹3,653.09 crore; that figure is the underlying project value, not the consultancy fee. The consultancy listing does not provide a usable fee estimate.

TLGS assessment

A consultancy can be commercially important even when its fee is much smaller than the construction project. It should appear as a linked professional-services opportunity, not be added a second time to the project-capital pipeline.

Practical next steps

• Verify that the consultancy remains active and examine independence/conflict provisions.
• Review staffing, experience, service period and commercial terms in its own RFP.

Status & scope

A zero or blank portal value is treated as undisclosed, not a free contract. This entry shares the highway project key and is excluded from additive project totals.
