3 Bidders for Ganga Expressway’s Construction Work

Adani Enterprises, Ashoka Buildcon and IRB Infrastructure Developers are the 3 firms that have bid for developing the 594 km Ganga Expressway connecting Meerut and Prayagraj on the public-private partnership (PPP) mode under Design, Built, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis.

This six lane access-controlled expressway by Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) will have a 120m ROW (right of way) and is designed to be expandable to 8 lanes in the future. More design details can be viewed here.

On the Meerut-end, the expressway will be connected to the Delhi – Meerut Expressway’s upcoming Phase 5. That phase envisions the construction of a 14.60 km Zainuddinpur to Jahidpur connector and APS Hydro emerged as its lowest bidder earlier this month. On the eastern-end, the expressway will end at Prayagraj Bypass.

Ganga Expressway’s Phase 1 has been divided up into 4 sections for development with each section comprising of 3 civil packages. In Phase 2, the expressway will be extended by 110 km to Tigri on the Uttar Pradesh / Uttrakhand Border and by 314 km to Ballia near Varanasi. A Detailed Project Report (DPR) has not been finalized.
