HUDA is now on the lookout for funds to start land aquisition for phase-II.

Hyderabad, March 31: The Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (Huda) has proposed yet another “final” alignment for its proposed Outer Ring Road (ORR), uprooting 150 more families. his is the fifth in the series of ‘final’ realignments proposed by the Huda for the 160-km road. Already, 3,000 families are in the list of affected people.

“This is injustice,” says Mr S. Balaiah, an elder in Mankal village. “It was Indira Gandhi who gave us this land and now her daughter-in-law is taking it away.” As per the latest realignment, the ORR would pass through houses and agricultural lands of villages such as Mankal, Raviryal and Srinagar. In Mankal, it would also run over an entire Scheduled Caste Colony.

The villagers were trying to come to terms with the news. B. Danaiah, 60, who has a house and one acre and 30 guntas land in Mankal, is deeply worried. “Huda officials did not even have the courtesy to inform the local people about their fate. We learned about it through newspapers,” he said. He had recently fixed the marriage of his daughters and had promised to give equal halves of the land to the grooms.

“What will I do?” he asks. “I will be left with no choice but to commit suicide along with my daughters.” Other villagers like S. Padmaja, Shankaraiah and K. Sanjeevaiah had built pucca houses recently after taking loans. “Why do they have to build the road over the dwellings of poor people?” they say.

Sources said that the latest realignment was necessitated by the Fab City project. As per the earlier alignment, the ORR would have passed through the Fab City. Huda’s ORR project director Peeyush Kumar said the realignment was made since Fab City was a prestigious project. “This is in the interests of the villagers and the State as a whole,” he said. “If villagers have complaints, they can approach the high-level committee.”

[magestom]

This project seems to be on schedule! When will the full 150km be completed?

[Naga_Solidus]

theyre hoping to finish all 161km by June/July 2008. Pase 1, or 22km worth of motorway between Shamshabad and Gachibowli (not to be confused with the 11.5km Gachibowli-Medhipatnam motorway) will be completed by mid-07, ditto for the 11.5km motorway.

[pding]

Naga: i think it is Mehdipatnam-Shamshabad motorway not Gachibowli-Mehdipatnam.

did u mean 2014 and not 2114. the phase 3, if it takes 100 years, then we all should be proud about it. jk jk jk

[Babji]

oops! a typo. I mean 2014.

[Naga_Solidus]

That doesn't sound too right to me, I thought it was all to be finished by mid 08, and at wordst by mid 09, according to the latest releases.

[Babji]

ORR Phase I: Gacchibowli to Shamshabad 22km - this is what they are targeting for mid 2008. this 22km stretch is divided into two parts (roughly 11+11km) and they are floating two different tenders (hoping to find two different builders, so they can be more sure of completing this crucial first phase, in time for the HIAL). HUDA is taking up this work (funding w/ bank loans). Actual works on this phase are expected to start April 2006.

As far as Phase - 2, 3 and 4 are concerned, works are still on the drawing board. Dubai company has presented their LOI and a proposal. (Japanese are also showing interest). Next step will be that HUDA will call for tenders.
In the mean time, HUDA will complete land aquistion. i guess.

The survey work was under progress for the phase-II ORR that covers 69 villages was under progress.

[pding]

i think the deadline for the last phase is 2010-2012. def not 2014.

[Babji]

the dynamics of transportation engg in India are a little slow ... and there is also a people factor (Relocation & Rehabilitaion, aquisition, compensation, political involvement etc).

[pding]

true. but they should make all efforts to finish all phases by 2010 or '11 by the latest.

4 banks agree to fund ORR phase-1

Hyderabad, April 13: The Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (Huda), that was desperately looking for financiers for the Outer Ring Road (ORR) project, has finally got the much-required breather. A consortium of four banks — Andhra Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Bank of Baroda and Vijaya Bank has agreed to loan Rs 500 crores, an estimated cost to execute the 24-km phase-I of the ORR.

Works on the ORR phase-I starting from Gachibowli to Shamshabad International airport will be grounded on June 1. The Huda has called for financial bids to execute the phase-I works from 22 national and international companies which had qualified for the project in pre-qualification tender process. The lowest bidder would be awarded the contract. When contacted, ORR project director Peeyush Kumar confirmed that the consortium of banks have agreed to fund the phase-I of the ORR and the Huda has decided to give money to executing agency and not land. However, the fate of ORR phase-II hangs in balance, as the Huda is still not clear about who will execute the project.
