Madhya Pradesh Clears 12 Roads Under Hybrid Annuity Model

The Madhya Pradesh Cabinet has approved construction and upgradation of 12 important roads under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), signalling a significant push to strengthen the state road network.

The decision also includes the transfer of 22 additional roads to the Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation (MPRDC) to improve execution and long-term maintenance.

Among the key projects cleared under HAM is the Bhopal?Vidisha road, approximately 44.83 km in length, and the Khalghat?Manawar?Mangod stretch, about 93.11 km. The Sitamau?Basai?Suwasra road in the Mandsaur region near the Rajasthan border measures roughly 82 km and is included in the approvals. Officials provided an outline of a broader list of corridors that will be upgraded or newly constructed as part of the programme.

The Cabinet has approved the upgradation of the eastern Bhopal bypass from four?lane to six?lane with paved shoulders and the construction of service roads for a stretch of about 51.86 km. The Neemuch?Manasa?Rampura?Jhalawar road, measuring 95.85 km, will be developed into a four?lane highway with paved shoulders. Other routes approved for HAM include the Indore?Devpalpur link and a series of regional connectors intended to improve intra?state access.

Under the Hybrid Annuity Model a portion of construction costs is paid during the building phase and the balance is released as annuity over the concession period, a structure aimed at providing funding certainty and contractor viability. Cabinet minister Rakesh Singh said the approach is expected to create a wider network of quality roads in the coming years and that the transfer of 22 roads to MPRDC will ensure professional project management and timely execution. Authorities indicated that the combination of HAM projects and corporate management of select stretches is intended to improve long-term maintenance and serviceability.
