Project Description Project: Development of Access Control 6-Lane Bhopal – Indore Green Field Expressway – 146.88 Km in the State of Madhya Pradesh by MPRDC The proposed project pertains to construction of 6-Lane Bhopal – Indore Green Field Expressway in the State of Madhya Pradesh. Proposed expressway shall start near Itaya Kalan Village on Bhopal Bypass at NH-12 and terminates at NH-59A near Karnawad Village. Geographical Coordinates of start and end point are 23°3'52.68"N 77°32'26.96"E to 22°42'58.32"N 76°13'44.42"E. The total length of proposed expressway is approx. 146.880 km and proposed RoW (Right of Way) is 70m. Project road passes through 4 districts namely Raisen, Bhopal, Sehore and Dewas. The proposed project will shorten the travel distance and improve connectivity between Bhopal and Indore. The existing route between Bhopal and Indore measures about 188 Kms which shall be reduced to approximately 146.88 km i.e. approx. 22% reduction in travel distance. The land use along the proposed expressway is predominantly agricultural land with patches of settlements, forest and barren land. The topography of the project stretch is undulating plain with varying elevations i.e. as low as 445 m AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level) to 597 m AMSL. The project region experiences a tropical climate. The total water requirement for construction phase shall be approx. 87,32,402 KL. Power requirement for construction phase shall be met from the State Electricity boards. DG Sets shall also be provided as an alternate arrangement. Approx. 169.68 ha of forest land will require to be diverted for the project purpose. Ratapani Wildlife Sanctuary is located at a distance of approx 1.3 km in South from the project expressway near Ch. 13.8. The construction of the expressway shall take approx. 36 months and the estimated total Civil Cost (2018-2019) of the project is about INR 2,942.56 Crores.

Ch 13.7) 14 Tentative Civil Cost (Cr) 3158.83 • Will attract Major Industrial traffic from Mandideep and Mhow Industrial area. • Will reduce congestion in Bhopal City & travel time. • Development of the under-developed regions by having Merit theme-based Nodes / Hubs will act as Growth Centres • Shortest Length of Expressway • LA cost is the lowest as it traverses through agricultural and barren land. • It doesn’t affect the drainage pattern of Bhopal lakes. • Lacks direct connectivity to Agra Mumbai Highway. 15 Demerits • Forest Area for this option is slightly more than other options. The benefits of the Project are multi-fold. Project will substantially reduce the travel time and further boost the economy of the region by providing better connectivity option. Page 3 of 3 .
