One of the challenges associated with growing urbanization is the heavy traffic congestion. One of the measures to decongest the traffic load could be development of ring roads. It can decongest the cities from heavy traffic load for which it is advisable to plan for bypass/ring road development well in advance to reduce future repercussions. Looking into the advantages of developing the ring road, Government of Madhya Pradesh decided to consider few Ring Roads projects in the select towns of Madhya Pradesh. In order to identify such towns a quick study to shortlist the towns was taken up by Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Good Governance and Policy Analysis (AIGGPA), Bhopal. The focus was to shortlist the towns based on identified parameters and to suggest probable financial models to implement the project. The study was conducted mainly through secondary research and stakeholder consultations in a short span of three months. As per census 2011, there are 427 towns in Madhya Pradesh out of which, 378 are Urban Local Bodies. Owing to the large number of ULBs, few assumptions were made to reduce the number of towns for further analysis of Ring Roads. The two assumptions made in this study were: 1. Towns with Development Plans: The first assumption made in this study was to consider only such towns of Madhya Pradesh whose Development Plan is already prepared by Department of Town and Country Planning. As on March 2020, there were 96 towns in Madhya Pradesh whose Development Plans were prepared. 2. Towns with more than 1 Lakh Population: The second assumption made in this study was to analyze only those towns, which have more than 1 Lakh population (based on projected population for 2019). There are 36 towns in Madhya Pradesh, which have more than 1 Lakh population as per projected population for 2019. Out of 36 towns, development plan and landuse map was not available for Ashoknagar, Dhar, Shahdol and Gwalior SADA area, so they were excluded in Ring Road analysis. After shortlisting 36 towns, seven parameters were identified which were assigned points on the scale of 0-5 based on various sub categories. The identified parameters were simultaneously assigned weightages on the scale of 10. The parameters were judiciously assigned weightages to select towns where Ring Road could be developed with ‘Least Level of Difficulties’ as in large cities land availability is limited and cost of acquisition is also higher which will result in higher project development cost. Hence it was purposely eliminated from the list. The table below shows list of identified parameters along with assigned weightage. Table 1: Table showing list of identified parameters along with their weightages S.No. Parameter Weightage (on the scale of 10) 1 Population 0.5 2 Population Growth Rate between 2011-2019 2.0 3 Proximity to National Highway 2.0 4 Average Annual Vehicle Registration 0.5 5 Economic status of the town – Number of medium and large scale industries 1.0 6 Length of Ring Road/Bypass yet to be developed 2.5 7 Percentage of Ring Road/Bypass left to be constructed out of total proposed length 1.5 Total 10.0 Post assigning points and weightages, a town wise matrix was developed, which ranked the towns in the order of priority of developing Ring Road according to their total weighted score. Towns with higher weighted score were recommended to be considered for Ring Road development. Based on data analysed from the development plans and information collected from Regional Office of NHAI and MPPWD, few towns were eliminated in the study since these towns have either initiated the construction activities or is in pipeline of MPPWD. Few towns were eliminated as they have been selected under Bharatmala scheme for development of Ring Road/Bypass.

Public private participation is achieved in land development through various techniques. Some of the land assembly techniques also promote flexibility in land utilization in response to changes resulting from the growing city. The various mechanisms to assemble land are enlisted below: Traditional Land Acquisition Methods (Not covered here) Land Readjustment Transfer of Development Rights Guided Land Development (GLD) Availability of land is the first step towards creating a robust network of ring road. The other crucial factor is the finance. The state and its municipalities need funds to finance the acquisition of the available land.
