Overview

• The allocation has been credited to the district collector’s treasury to speed up land purchases for the corridor.
• The design has been pared back to a 50-metre width from the earlier 84 metres to reduce cost and shorten timelines.
• About half of the roughly 94,000 square metres required is acquired, with remaining owners seeking cash instead of TDR in many cases.
• Construction is advancing on acquired sections, including grade separators and two 300mm rainwater lines at known flooding spots near Rajas Society and the SBI branch.
• The project is under PMC’s ‘war room’ monitoring, following earlier support of Rs 140 crore from the state and Rs 200 crore from PMC prior to this fresh push.
