03 Aug 2023 CW Team

The ropeway project, which will cost Rs 2.51 billion, will be executed under the hybrid annuity mode (HAM) and will serve as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional roads. It is part of the central government's Parvatmala scheme, a National Ropeways Development Programme, and the NHLML has been tasked with developing ropeway projects across the country under this initiative.

The Shankar Viman Mandapam, also known as the Shankaracharya Temple, is a majestic temple located to the north of the renowned Triveni Sangam. Standing at 130 feet tall, the temple is an architectural wonder in south Indian style and houses the idols of Kumaril Bhatt, Jagatguru Adi Shankaracharya, Kamakshi Devi, Tirupati Balaji, and Yogsahastra Sahastrayoga Linga.

On the other hand, Triveni Pushp is a picturesque tourist spot situated on the banks of the Yamuna at Arail in Prayagraj's Naini. Covering an area of four hectares, Triveni Pushp features magnificent tower architecture visible from the southeast direction of the Triveni Sangam confluence. Surrounded by 12 small lawns, Triveni Pushp serves as a viewpoint and a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all over, including national and international delegations, travellers, and pilgrims, especially during the Kumbh 2019.

It's worth noting that the ropeway project at Prayagraj is the second one to be developed under the Parvatmala scheme in Uttar Pradesh. The first project, a 3.8 km ropeway link between Varanasi's Cantonment Railway Station and Godowlia Chowk, is currently under construction. This Rs 6.45 billion Varanasi ropeway project was awarded to Vishwa Samudra Engineering, an Indian firm, and its technology partner, Bartholet Maschinenbau AG of Switzerland. The contract includes the operation and maintenance of the project for 15 years. The completion deadline for the Varanasi ropeway project is set at 18 months from its foundation-laying ceremony, which took place on March 24.

The National Highway Logistics Management (NHLML), a wholly-owned special purpose vehicle (SPV) of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), has issued a tender for the development, operation, and maintenance of a 2.2 km long ropeway between Shankar Viman Mandapam and Triveni Pushp in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
