Pune: PMRDA Seeks Consultancy For Yerwada-Katraj Twin Tunnel Feasibility Study
Pune: Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis Cancels PMRDA Development Plan, Orders Fresh Process
Pune: The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has invited proposals for appointing a consultancy agency to conduct a feasibility study for the proposed Yerawada-Katraj twin tunnel project.
The 14.5-km corridor between Yerwada and Katraj is one of Pune’s busiest stretches, witnessing heavy traffic throughout the day. To ease congestion and improve connectivity, the state government approved the project in principle during a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on February 12.
On March 28, PMRDA issued a global tender for the feasibility study of an approximately 20-km-long underground twin tunnel. The study, to be completed in three months, will assess the project’s technical and financial viability, along with potential implementation models such as EPC, PPP, BOT, and HAM.
