The 42-km stretch entails four-laning of a bypass road in Madhya Pradesh. Located in the North-South corridor of the National Highways Development Programme, the project is being executed under the Build, Operate and Transfer mode.
The SPV, Gwalior Bypass Road Project Pvt Limited, had Era Infra Engineering Limited as consortium lead and included Ramky Infrastructure and Shriram Chits.
“The project is under execution and is likely to be completed in about four months. As per NHAI norms, the developer cannot bring down the holding to below 26 per cent within the execution phase. We are within the permissible norms,” M. Gautham Reddy, Executive Director, Ramky Infra, told Business Line .
