The Uttarakhand government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Swiss ropeway manufacturer Bartholet Maschinenbau AG to develop a ropeway connecting Tapovan in Rishikesh to the Kunjapuri Temple in Narendranagar, Tehri district.

The ropeway project, aimed at enhancing tourism and accessibility, will offer a seamless, eco-friendly alternative to road travel, significantly reducing journey time while improving safety and lowering environmental impact. Officials stated that the system will also ease traffic congestion and promote sustainable tourism in the region.

Bartholet, a leading Swiss Original Equipment Manufacturer and part of the HTI Group, was selected following an evaluation by a high-level panel. The project will be executed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, using the design-build-finance-operate-transfer (DBFOT) framework. The company will prepare the detailed project report at its own cost based on thorough technical and economic assessments.
