Executive Summary 1.1 Preamble: The Government of India is planning to start working on 10 world class express highways in order to boost the road infrastructure for faster connectivity between different cities1. Amongst these 10 proposed expressways, “Access controlled Nagpur Mumbai Expressway” is one proposed the express highways which intends to divert and redistribute the heavy traffic on existing corridors. The proposed expressway (NMEW) will pass through 10 districts from Vidarbha through Marathwada to Konkan regions. The major settlements which are set to be part of this plan are Nagpur District, Wardha District, Amravati District, Yavatmal District, Washim District, Buldana District, Jalna District, Aurangabad District, Ahmadnagar District, Nasik District, Thane District. Besides a number of villages would also be part of the proposed NMEW. In this context, the Union Ministry of Highways & Surface Transport and Government of Maharashtra has announced the six-lane NMEW project. The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) would be the implementing agency. NMEW is a top priority project in the Government agenda. NMEW will be designated as a Maharashtra State Highway (MSH) built on National Highway standards. It will start from Shivmadka in Nagpur and go up to Bhiwandi near Mumbai. 1.2 Project Description: The NMEW will be developed as a high-density corridor establishing high-speed connectivity between Nagpur and Mumbai. As a first step in this direction, Government of Maharashtra has decided to develop and strengthen the linkages and connectivity of major cities of state with Mumbai, the state capital. Exploring the viability of one such connectivity between Nagpur Mumbai, which includes links with and through Butibori – Amravati - Jalna – Chikhalthana – Shendra – Waluj - Sinnar – Munbai along with link to tourist and religious places at Karanja – Lonar – Sindhkhedraja – Verul – Shirdi corridor. The entire length of the proposed expressway is about 705.68 km and is divided into five packages as follows; MSRDC 2 PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT OF ACCESS CONTROLLED NAGPUR-MUMBAI EXPRESSWAY 01/20/2016 PACKAGE V - 77.98 KM Sr. Approximate Estimated Cost per No Name of Project work Length Cost km/ Cr. in Kms (Rs.

The unit cost per km of expressway has been assessed as Rs. 33.53 crore. The proposed expressways pass through approximately 233.823 Ha of Forest Land and ghat section. Wherever the forest land is involved, the clearance will be required from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India. 1.3 Importance of the Project: Technologies are available for construction of super infrastructure In terms of technology, viaducts, tunnels the travel time will be reduced by 50% assuming current speed of 100km/hour and travel time of 8-10 hrs. MSRDC 3 PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT OF ACCESS CONTROLLED NAGPUR-MUMBAI EXPRESSWAY 01/20/2016 PACKAGE V - 77.98 KM It connects Industrial places at Butibori, Amravati, Jalna, Chikalthana, Shendra, Waluj, Sinnar to Mumbai. The incidental benefit would be that it will create employment during construction phase and post development. It will boost industrialization which will largely benefit the entire region. The length passes through backward regions of Vidarbha and Marathwada. It connects Tourist places at Karanja, Lonar, Sindkhedraja, Verul, Shirdi. 1.4 Package V - Igatpuri to Bhiwandi – 77.98 km length: This Pre-feasibility Report is for Package V i.e i.e. Taranganpada in Igatpuri to Amane in Bhiwandi of approximately 77.98 kms length. The estimated total cost for this stretch of the project is 3119.36 km. The unit cost per km has been assessed as Rs. 39.82 crore. 1.4.1 Components of the project: The project will have 5 nos. Interchanges at Pimpri Sadroddin and Nandgaon Sado, Dhakane and Vashala Bk., Shelwali Kadbachi, Khutghar and Sapgaon SH-44, Chinchavali, Utane and Pitambare Nagar Amane with Kalyan Sape Road. The project will also increase transportation connectivity to NH4 (Mumbai Pune Expressway), AH-47 connecting NH-3 to Nashik and NH-50 towards Sinnar. Along the NMEW industrial parks, technology parks, smart cities, and educational complexes will be developed. The NMEW will have optical fibre all along its stretch so that Wi-Fi connectivity is available. The proposed expressway is passing through a large number of backward districts and the government hopes to ensure their industrial development using the expressway as an infrastructural launch pad. Along with this it is also proposed to have area development, real estate development, emergency landing of plane, medical facilities, food courts, police stations, public toilets, petrol pumps. Other planned activities include construction of intersections/junctions, culverts and drainage works, toll plazas and ancillary structures, temporary access, diversion roads and site location for Batch Plants and other road construction related plants and establishments.

Introduction of the project 2.1 Background information i. Identification of project and project proponent. Project: Consultancy Services for preparation of Feasibility Study and Detailed Project Report of Access Controlled Nagpur Mumbai Expressway for Package V i .e. Taranganpada Village, Igatpuri Taluka (Nashik District border 00.00 km) to Amane, Bhiwandi Taluka (Thane District 77.98 km) in the state of Maharashtra approximately 77.98 kms length. Project proponent: Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Ltd. (MSRDC) Brief description of nature of the project: The project intends to develop 6 lane expressway with six lanes (3+3) carriage way of Expressway, and lanes for utility shifting, bypass and other structures in the state of Maharashtra. The proposed alignment passes through approximately 300 villages. The proposed expressway (NMEW) will pass through 10 districts from Vidarbha through Marathwada to Konkan regions. The major settlements which are set to be part of this plan are Nagpur District, Wardha District, Amravati District, Washim District, Buldana District, Jalna District, Aurangabad District, Ahmadnagar District, Nasik District and Thane District. The design speed is proposed such that Vehicles shall be able to reach an average speed of 150 km/hr on it. The proposed Package V Igatpuri – Kalyan will connect two major cities viz. Nashik and Thane in less distance and time as compared to the distance covered by the current Nashik Mumbai Expressway NH-3. The proposed Package V passes through approximately 48 villages. ii. Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region. In the present scenario, industrial growth remains centralised around Mumbai, Pune and to some extent in Nashik and Aurangabad as these cities remain connected through sea ports in Mumbai. Mumbai-Pune region is saturated in terms of land, population or infrastructure. There is tremendous pressure on this region, as the economic nerve-centre of Maharashtra and the entire country. This may be linked to the proximity of the Mazagon MSRDC 5 PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT OF ACCESS CONTROLLED NAGPUR-MUMBAI EXPRESSWAY 01/20/2016 PACKAGE V - 77.98 KM Dock and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust, from where the finished goods are exported and raw material is imported. On the other hand Vidarbha and Marathwada regions are less economically prosperous due to low industrial growth, area development, agricultural fertile land, lack of ample amount of water resources, lack of new technologies as compared to the rest of Maharashtra. These cities will be projected as investment destinations for manufacturing, automobile, defence, aerospace, information technology, textile and food processing. The proposed project
