1. Background

Transport in the Republic of India is an important part of the Nation's economy.

Development of infrastructure within the country has progressed at a rapid pace, and

today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air.

The State of Maharashtra is situated in the Western part of India. The state has a

transportation network consisting of railways, roadways and airways, which form the

lifeline for the economic and social activities of the state. Road transport is a dominant

mode in the State for the transport of goods and for the movement of passengers.

Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra, and Nagpur is the second capital and is the third

largest city in Maharashtra after Mumbai and Pune. Presently three routes are available

between Mumbai and Nagpur. Currently, the travel time between these two major cities is

14 hours. There are many industries at Buti Bori, Thane and Aurangabad along the

project highway.

To improve the communication and development of these cities which will directly

improve the development of backward regions of Marathwada & Vidarbha in

Maharashtra State, there is need to reduce the travel time and make fastest possible

communication between these cities.

Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Ltd (MSRDC) is a corporation fully

owned by the Government of Maharashtra. MSRDC is mainly involved in development

of roads, bridges and other major infrastructure projects including land, flyover projects,

toll collection rights and works under construction which vested with the State

Government and were under the control of the Public Works Department but have been

subsequently transferred to MSRDC. MSRDC is primarily engaged in providing strategic

and integrated infrastructure services within Maharashtra State.

2. Introduction of the Project

Government of Maharashtra has entrusted Maharashtra State Road Development

Corporation Ltd., (MSRDC) to undertake the work of forming the Nagpur – Mumbai

Expressway with Access Control for a length about 706 km. The proposed Expressway

with access control with a design speed of 150 km/hr will reduce the travel time to almost

half of the current travel time.

MSRDC divided the proposed Expressway into five packages and appointed STUP

Consultants Pvt. Ltd. as a consultant for preparation of feasibility study and DPR for the

package II: Pulgaon to Sindhakhed Raja (Amravati Division).

3. Objective

The main objective of the consultancy service as per TOR is to establish the technical,

economical, and financial viability of the project, avail Environment and Forest

Clearance and prepare detailed project reports for construction of the new alignment of

Nagpur- Mumbai Communication Super Expressway with Access Control.

To study various alternative alignments, compare and getting approval for the best

feasible alignment from Competent Authority. The viability of the project shall be

established taking into account the requirements with regard to rehabilitation, upgrading

and improvement based on Expressway design, pavement design, provision of service

roads wherever necessary, Intersections, Construction of bridges and structures, Road

safety features, quantities of various items of works and Cost estimates and Economic

analysis.

To study and analyze, economics of different land pooling/procurement models for

Expressway project, Nodal development projects along the expressway & utility services

along the Expressway independently.

Explore, suggest, plan and design with financial viability of various schemes for

additional revenue generation through Nodal Development via Info-tech Hubs, Logistic

parks, Agricultural Hubs, Industrial Hubs, Educational Hubs, Medical Hubs, Smart Cities,

Resorts & other recreational centres, etc and leasing for utilities through dedicated utility

corridor to be provided in the Median.

4. Project Description

MSRDC divided the proposed Expressway in to five packages and appointed consultant

for preparation of feasibility study, availing Environment and Forest Clearance and

DPR for the project.

� Package I: Nagpur Division: Jamtha – Butibori MIDC – Wardha – Pulgaon.(128

km)

� Package II: Amravati Division: Pulgaon – Karanja – Sindhakhed Raja

(258.256km)

� Package III: Aurangabad Division: Sindhakhedraja -Jalna-Aurangabad-Vaijapur

(165km)

� Package IV: Nashik Division: Vaijapur – Shirdi – Sinnar – Ghoti (115 km)

� Package V: Konkan Division: Ghoti – Vadpe.(80 km)

STUP Consultants Pvt. Ltd. is appointed as consultant for the Package II.

The proposed expressway will be green field alignment with Access Control facility

which increases the journey speed in-turn reduces the travel time. Total length of

Package II is 258.256 km, along the road 8 development nodes (Smart cities) of 500

hectare area. Eight service interchanges are identified.

5. Site Analysis

STUP Consultants has identified 3 alignment options for the proposed Nagpur-Mumbai

super express highway.

11. Qualitative Advantages of the Preferred Alignment Option 4

� The alignment option 4 has the least road length among the three proposed alignments

i.e. 258.256 kms.

� Saving in time, fuel cost and reduction in noise pollution.

� The alignment avoids water bodies like lakes, dams etc.

� The alignment is designed for all types of road crossings such as ROBs, VOP, PUPs/

CUPs.

� Existing connectivity to the villages along the alignment remains unaffected.

� Connectivity to three districts namely Amravati, Washim and Buldana connecting 142

villages.

� Eight nodes are proposed as planned growth centre along the alignment for

development.

� Maximum use of barren land.

� Minimum use of forest land.

� Minimum acquisition of residential and commercial structures / premises.

� The civil construction cost of the alignment is least among the other proposed

alignments.
