CHAPTER 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Brief Description of Project
National Highway No.47 (NH-47) is a 620 Km long highway running from Salem to Kanyakumari is an important artery passing through the States of Tamilnadu and Kerala and it passes through important towns such as Salem, Coimbatore, Palakkad, Thrissur, Kochi, Alappuzha, Kollam, Thiruvananthapuram, Nagerkoil and Kanyakumari. To provide better level of service to the vehicular traffic, the existing 2 lane carriageway road has been proposed to be widened to four lane dual carriage way including strengthening of the existing 2 lane carriage way.
Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport & Highways, Government of India, through National Highways Authority of India, have been contemplating to enhance the traffic capacity and safety of goods and passenger traffic on selected, heavy traffic dense corridors in India, and had identified one such stretch of road in Kerala State i.e., existing 2 lane highway of NH-47 between Walayar -Vadakkancherry Km. 182+250 to Km. 240+000, (approx. 54 Kms.) to 4 laning under NHDP Phase II. Project Location Map enclosed as Annexure 1.
Accordingly, NHAI invited Requests for Proposal (RFP) from short listing of Bidders in RFQ for 4 laning of above stretch of highway, on Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (“DBFOT”) Toll Basis, M/s. KNR Constructions Ltd. submitted their bid on 30th June, 2010, and become highest bidder.
National Authority of India (NHAI) has awarded the contract of four laning of existing road on NH-47 between Km.182.250 to Km.240.000, approximately 54 Km, under North – South Corridor (NHDP Phase-II), package KL2 on DBFOT (Toll) Basis in the State of Kerala, vide their letter no NHAI/Tech/NS-2/NH-47/BOT/KL-2/2006/07 dated 03.08.2012 by issuing Letter of Acceptance to the KNR Constructions Limited.
Consequent to the above, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) was formed in the name of M/s. KNR Walayar Tollways Private Ltd., for implementation/execution of the project, registered under the companies act on 16th August 2012 and Concession Agreement dated 17th September 2012 is signed between M/s KNR Walayar Tollways Private Ltd (KWTPL) the Concessionaire. And M/s National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the Employer.
NHAI Vide their letter No NHAI/Tech/NS-2/NH-47/BOT/KL-2/IE/2006/131 dated 21st May 2013 declared the appointed date as 18th May 2013 and was scheduled to be completed by 13th Nov 2015 (Construction period of 910 days).
Further NHAI Vide their letter No NHAI/11033/154/CGM(fin)/2013 dated 17th July 2013 declared the Financial closer for the project is achieved on 7th June 2013.
