Current Status

In June 2024, India’s Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) invited bids to appoint a consultant for developing Bangalore – Mangalore Expressway’s Detailed Project Report (DPR).

In November 2024, MoRTH received 9 bids for its preparation – see list of bidders.

The consultant will suggest whether to develop the corridor as a semi access-controlled ‘economic corridor’ or a full-fledged expressway with better design and safety standards.
