Tata Projects Wins Chennai Peripheral Ring Road’s Section 1

September 27, 2021 Update: Tata Projects has been awarded Section 1’s contract LOA.

February 5, Original Post: Tata Projects Limited (TPL) on Thursday emerged as the lowest bidder for constructing the 133.38 km Chennai Peripheral Ring Road’s Section 1 after Tamil Nadu Road Development Company (TNRDC) opened financial bids.

The 25.31 km Section 1 of this new access controlled expressway, Chennai’s 4th ring road, connects Ennore Port with NH16 (old NH5) at Thatchur. This is the northern-most package and the second shortest of 5 packages (more details at the bottom). It consists of a 6 lane divided carriageway with a 2 lane service road on both sides.

This section includes a 1.4-km bridge over Buckingham Canal. There will be 26 structures in the project, including eight major bridges, eight minor ones, two road-over-bridges, seven vehicle underpasses/vehicle overpasses and one interchange. It will also include 29.38 km of drains and 41.88 km of retaining wall.

TNRDC invited bids for this package in 2019 through a 40,074 million Yen (approx. Rs 2470 crore) loan assistance from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for which a formal agreement was signed in January 2020.

TNRDC’s Estimate: Rs. 2500.00 crore

The project’s Detailed Project Report (DPR) was created by STUP Consultants and can be viewed here. Bids for Sections 2 were invited in 2020 and bids for section 3 (besides section 5) are pending. Those two sections will be financed by Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) through a USD 378 million loan, and the bank’s board held a concept review for it on March 13.

Tamil Nadu Road Development Corporation (TNRDC) is the executor of Package 1. The rest will be executed by Tamil Nadu Road Infrastructure and Development Corporation (TNRIDC).

Here’s a status of all CPRR packages:

    4th ring road ?
    There’s 1) inner ring road 2) outer ring road and this current 3) peripheral ring road. Which is the 4th ?

    • TMRG says:

      Chennai Bypass. That’s the one between inner and outer. In the above map, it’s the second from the right.

      On a side note – all of these aren’t perfect rings or even semi-circular (apart from CPRR), but are referred to as a ring road in official and non-official content.

      Haven’t heard about Section 2’s bids getting opened. Must still be in technical bid evaluation stage.

      Haven’t heard of TPL getting LOA for Section 1. Might have something to do with the election’s code of conduct.
