Ashmi Road secures toll contract for Samruddhi Expressway and Worli Sea Link

Ashmi Road Carriers Private Limited (ARCPL), led by local businessman Pyare Khan, has been awarded the contract to operate toll booths along the Samruddhi Mahamarg Expressway and the Rajiv Gandhi Bandra-Worli Sea Link in Mumbai for a duration of three months.

ARCPL emerged as the lowest bidder, proposing a revenue share of 4.58% from toll collections on the Samruddhi Mahamarg and 5.64% from the Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link, as part of its agreement with the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC). The company competed against six other bidders for these contracts.

"It's a matter of pride for a firm in Nagpur to secure such a prestigious contract in the state," Khan told the Times of India, noting that the sea link contract was won with a slim margin.

Khan stated that operations on both routes have already commenced. As a toll operator, ARCPL's responsibilities will also include improving traffic management to alleviate congestion, particularly on the expressway.

Additionally, the company plans to conduct safety awareness campaigns, reminding drivers to remain cautious and considerate of their loved ones waiting at home. Khan has also suggested that the MSRDC implement rest facilities for drivers at regular intervals along the expressway to promote safer driving speeds.

ARCPL has a solid track record in the industry, managing toll operations on various highways constructed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
