The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) had to invite a request for proposal (RFP) from private companies to construct the project. However, after the letter was written, the process was put on hold. The state has urged theCentreto share the project with the NHAI after sharing the project cost.
The project cost of 45km (Bagrana to Achrol) is pegged at Rs 2,887 crore. The Ring Road project will consist of a six-lane access-controlled expressway and a three-lane service road on both sides. The northern corridor will also be developed on the lines of the 47km southern corridor (Agra Road to Ajmer Road) and the JDA will acquire 360-metre-wide strip of land.
While the transport corridor will be constructed on a 90-metre-wide land, the civic body proposes 135 metres wide development corridor along the transport corridor for commercial purpose. Not Learning lessons from the past, the JDA is once again planning to acquire extra land for the northern corridor, which might force farmers to protest in future.
The agencies have identified land in 26 villages of three tehsils Amber, Jaipur and Jamwa-Ramgarh to acquire it for Ring Road.
The Ring Road project was proposed to be constructed in phases.
