1. Background Transport in the Republic of is an important part of the Nation's economy. Development of infrastructure within the country has progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air.

The State of Maharashtra is situated in the Western part of India. The state has a transportation network consisting of railways, roadways and airways, which form the lifeline for the economic and social activities of the state. Road transport is a dominant mode in the State for the transport of goods and for the movement of passengers.

Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra, and Nagpur is the second capital and is the third largest city in Maharashtra after Mumbai and Pune. Presently three routes are available between Mumbai and Nagpur. Currently, the travel time between these two major cities is 14 hours. There are many industries at Buti Bori, Thane and along the project highway.

To improve the communication and development of these cities which will directly improve the development of backward regions of Marathwada & in Maharashtra State, there is need to reduce the travel time and make fastest possible communication between these cities.

Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Ltd (MSRDC) is a corporation fully owned by the Government of Maharashtra. MSRDC is mainly involved in development of roads, bridges and other major infrastructure projects including land, flyover projects, toll collection rights and works under construction which vested with the State Government and were under the control of the Public Works Department but have been subsequently transferred to MSRDC. MSRDC is primarily engaged in providing strategic and integrated infrastructure services within Maharashtra State.

2. Introduction of the Project Government of Maharashtra has entrusted Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Ltd., (MSRDC) to undertake the work of forming the Nagpur – Mumbai Expressway with Access Control for a length about 706 km. The proposed Expressway

Pre-Feasibility Report Access Controlled Nagpur-Mumbai Expressway- Package-II

with access control with a design speed of 150 km/hr will reduce the travel time to almost half of the current travel time.

MSRDC divided the proposed Expressway into five packages and appointed STUP Consultants Pvt. Ltd. as a consultant for preparation of feasibility study and DPR for the package II: to Sindhakhed Raja (Amravati Division).

3. Objective The main objective of the consultancy service as per TOR is to establish the technical, economical, and financial viability of the project, avail Environment and Forest Clearance and prepare detailed project reports for construction of the new alignment of Nagpur- Mumbai Communication Super Expressway with Access Control.

To study various alternative alignments, compare and getting approval for the best feasible alignment from Competent Authority. The viability of the project shall be established taking into account the requirements with regard to rehabilitation, upgrading and improvement based on Expressway design, pavement design, provision of service roads wherever necessary, Intersections, Construction of bridges and structures, Road safety features, quantities of various items of works and Cost estimates and Economic analysis.

To study and analyze, economics of different land pooling/procurement models for Expressway project, Nodal development projects along the expressway & utility services along the Expressway independently.

Explore, suggest, plan and design with financial viability of various schemes for additional revenue generation through Nodal Development via Info-tech Hubs, Logistic parks, Agricultural Hubs, Industrial Hubs, Educational Hubs, Medical Hubs, Smart Cities, Resorts & other recreational centres, etc and leasing for utilities through dedicated utility corridor to be provided in the Median.

4. Project Description MSRDC divided the proposed Expressway in to five packages and appointed consultant for preparation of feasibility study , availing Environment and Forest Clearance and DPR for the project.
