Executive Summary
Following summarises the project overview and key highlights of the project up to and
including the month of September 2014.
1. Total project site area is 745 Ha. Out of this the Concessionaire has been handed over
approximately629 Ha till the end of August2014, or approximately 84 % of the site. No
additional areas have been handed over during the current month.
2. A total of 116 Ha or 16 % is not handed over. Out of the area not given possession,
approximately 80 Ha is awaiting clearance and approval from the forest authorities,
and 16 Ha from the wildlife authorities, respectively. In addition, an area of 20 Ha
comprising public and private land is also not yet handed over to the concessionaire
pending its acquisition by the NHAI. As a consequence, a total project length of about 40
kmsdoes not have vacant access to 100% Right of Way.
3. The Contractor, M/sPan India Infrastructure Pvt Ltd (PIIPL) has mobilised on the site
for execution of Highways and structures. Execution of Works is mainly progressing in
the following locations:
a. Chainage 0 to 25 km, 40 to 70 km and 100 to 120 km: Clearing & Grubbing
activities have been completed for a road length of about 95.10km. and this
includes both the Left and Right hand sides of the carriageway
b. Excavations completed for major bridge foundations at Chainage Km 61, Km
57& km 53,for 5 nos box culverts. Excavation has also been done for one Hume
Pipe Culvert (HPC), for which the bedding &pipe-laying has also been
completed .A total of 225 nos electrical poles have been procured and shifting of
75 nos has been completed.
4. Following major equipment and relevant manpower have mobilised on the site:
a. One (1) no. each of RMC, Hot-mix, WMM and Stone Crusher Plants have been set
up and commissioned at both the Mohana and Kheria camps.
b. Major camps have been set up at Mohana and Kheria for the staff, engineers and
labourers working on the project. Concessionaire’s organisation chart is
attached at Appendix – A.
6. To achieve the scheduled 4-laning date of 11th November 2015 in accordance with the
Concession Agreement, target dates have been worked out for completing the highway
works and all related structures mid-August 2015. Based on these target dates, a bar-
chart has been prepared which indicates the schedule for completion of the various
structures and road sections. Monitoring of the project activities will henceforth be
done based on this bar chart program.
7. The targeted completion dates for the various broad elements of the project as per this
bar-chart program are :
Major Bridges : June30, 2015.
Road Over Bridges : August 15, 2015
Minor Bridges : May 30, 2015
Pipe & Box Culverts : July 22, 2015
Vehicular Under Pass : End November 2014
Pedestrian Under Pass : May 23, 2015
Toll Plazas & Misc. :End May 2015
All Highway construction work has also been targeted for completion by mid-August
2015.
Whereas all effort will be made to achieve these target dates, they are subject to
reasonable modifications considering ground conditions & any unforeseen
contingencies.
National Highways Authority of India has taken up four laning of NH-3 under NHDP
Phase –IV to be constructed between Gwalior to Shivpuri for a design length of
125+300 Kms. The project road stretch is a part of Agra-Gwalior-Shivpuri-Indore-
Mumbai Road.
The Concession has been awarded to M/s Essel Gwalior-Shivpuri Toll Roads Pvt
Limited for a concession period of 29 years. The Concessionaire has achieved
financial closure on December 13, 2012 and having complied with all the conditions
precedent as stipulated in the Concession Agreement. The Authority has declared
the appointed date as May 16, 2013. Accordingly, the project construction
completion date is scheduled as November11, 2015.
The Gwalior to Shivpuri 4-Laning Project consists of construction of four lane road
between Gwalior and Shivpuri on NH-3 from Km.15+600 (NH-75) to km.236+000
(NH-3). Major towns and developed areas along the route are Ghatigaon, Mohana
and Karaiahamedpur. Land use along the road is of a mixed nature, with presence of
agricultural, forest, vacant & interspersed built up land areas.
Project offices and laboratories for quality control of the works have been set up
and Plants for the production of aggregates, concrete, hot mix, have been
commissioned. The detailed survey for road and structures has been completed and
the EPC contractor has mobilised at site.
The cross section of the road along the route is designed to generally consist of
bituminous concrete placed on top of layers of bituminous macadam, GSB, WMM,
Sub-base and subgrade layers. A typical cross-section is shown below:
Major structures along the project alignment include 4 Major Bridges, 49 Minor
Bridges, 71 nos. Box-Culverts, 3 Road Over Bridges (ROB’s), 9 nos. Pedestrian
Under Passes (PUP’s) and one Vehicular Under Pass (VUP). Seventy five (75) Pipe
Culverts will be placed at appropriate locations for drainage purposes. Also
included in the project are the constructions of service roads near urban areas,
Truck lay byes, Bus bays and Toll Plazas.
The following tables summarize the technical and contractual details of the project
and the contact details of key stakeholders and their personnel:
2. Right of WayStatus
As per the Concession Agreement, the project requires a Right of Way (ROW) of
60.0 metres. Accordingly, the Status of Land availability as on April 30, 2014 is
summarised in the table below. The current status tabulated below shows, that out
of a total of 745 Ha, the land available for work is over 629 Ha (Approx. 84%).
The balance land area not currently available for the project comprises about 80 Ha
of Forest and 16 Ha of wildlife authority land. However out of 80Ha forest land,
NHAI has obtained stage І approval for 64.25 Ha. This is an in principle approval
where by the forest authorities have prima facie reviewed & accepted the proposal.
Another 20 Ha of revenue and private land is in the process of acquisition, wherein
the declaration of acquisition by NHAI as per section 3-D of the NHAI Act, is yet to
be made.
To proceed with the project construction, several utilities are required to be shifted
under the supervision of the respective authorities. These include a water supply
line, hand pumps, besides Electrical lines, , as shown in the table below.
Estimates for shifting of the above Electric lines have been prepared. The estimated
cost is approximately Rs. 6.73crores under the Gwalior Section and Rs 7.60 crores
for works under the Shivpuri divisions of MP MKVV. The current estimates are
based on the 2012 SOR and the same is being revised based on the SOR for the year
2014.
Estimates have been done for the shifting of the water supply pipeline & related
items mentioned above. The PHE department of the Shivpuri division has
completed the shifting of all the 17 nos hand pumps. For the Gwalior division, the
shifting of 18 nos. hand-pumps has been completed, out of a total of 26 nos, and the
rest are in progress.
