The six-lane access-controlled road is divided into four packages on Hybrid Annuity Mode; bids are to be submitted by November 18
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has issued a call for bids to construct the Amaravati Outer Ring Road (ORR), a 27.93-km six-lane, access-controlled project divided into four packages totaling ₹11,537.70 crore. The tenders, opened on October 2, aim to create an alternative high-capacity road around Amaravati.
Package 1, covering the Kanchikacherla-Nandigama section, is the smallest at 27.93 km and costs ₹2,975.47 crore. Package 2 extends 56 km from Nandigama to Davuluru, while Package 3 spans 55.80 km between Kolavennu to Kornepadu, with a 5.3 km spur to Narakoduru. Lastly, Package 4 runs 55.50 km from Kornepadu to Kanchikacherla, completing the ORR's major sections.
All packages are set to be built on Hybrid Annuity Mode and will take 1,095 days, or three years, to complete. Bids are due by November 18 at 11 a.m., with opening on November 19. The ORR will provide commuters and freight operators with an alternative route to bypass Amaravati's urban roads, improving travel between key settlements and economic centers.
