Development of RRR northern section to be taken up in two separate packages

The northern part of the ambitious regional ring road (RRR) project, proposed as access controlled greenfield expressway, from Girmapur to Tangadpalle village in northern Telangana, will be taken up in two separate packages.

The Public Private Partnership Appraisal Committee of the Union Finance Ministry, which gave its in principle nod for the project, favoured exploration of feasibility of implementing the project as a single comprehensive package for improved project management and potential cost efficiency. But officials opined that implementation as a single package is likely to restrict bidder participation due to high financial exposure, banking limits and performance security requirements. This would in turn reduce competition and increase execution risks.
