BDAs New Plan to Revive Rs.270 Bn Bangalore Peripheral Ring Road Project

13 Aug 2024 CW Team

The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has introduced a new land-sharing plan aimed at revitalising the stalled ?270 billion Bangalore Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) project. The revamped strategy focuses on optimising land use and securing necessary land parcels to ensure the project's timely completion.

The 74-kilometre Peripheral Ring Road is designed to alleviate traffic congestion in Bengaluru by providing an efficient bypass route around the city. However, the project faced delays due to land acquisition issues and financial constraints. The BDA's new approach involves collaborative agreements with landowners, offering them alternative benefits and compensations in exchange for their land.

Under the revised plan, the BDA aims to streamline land acquisition processes and integrate advanced construction techniques to accelerate progress. The new land-sharing model is expected to reduce financial burdens and expedite project phases, addressing previous setbacks that hindered the PRR?s development.

The successful implementation of this plan is anticipated to significantly enhance Bengaluru's transportation infrastructure, easing traffic congestion and improving connectivity between major areas. The BDA?s initiative reflects a renewed commitment to overcoming logistical challenges and delivering a crucial infrastructure upgrade for the city.
