Delhi PWD Taps AECOM to Draft DPR for 55-Km Ring Road Overhaul

The report due in 24 weeks will guide phased elevated corridors after government approval.

Overview

  • The Delhi PWD has commissioned AECOM India to prepare the Detailed Project Report for redeveloping the 55-km Mahatma Gandhi Ring Road.
  • The DPR carries a 24-week deadline with outputs including 3D models, technical designs, and cost estimates.
  • AECOM’s brief includes traffic studies plus environmental and social impact assessments, with proposals for grade separators, underpasses, pedestrian zones, and smart signals.
  • Plans call for integration with the Delhi Metro and other networks to strengthen last-mile links and support cleaner, faster commutes.
  • The corridor is split into six phases covering key stretches from Azadpur Flyover to the DND Flyway and Rajouri Garden to Pitampura, with construction to begin in stages only after the DPR is approved.
