While talking on the land details he said that about 80 per cent of the land has been possessed and the remaining stretch would be acquired soon. The four laning of the 100-km long stretch is expected to be completed in 36 months, he said.

 

Srei Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, the first beneficiary of the project, under consortium arrangements with various companies has a diversified portfolio of annuity and toll-based road projects close to 5,500 km with a total capital cost of around 13,000 crore, awarded by the NHAI under NHDP, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and various other State Governments.

Meanwhile, the company also started the six-laning of Chandikhole Jagatpur Bhubaneswar project in Odisha on NH-5 under NHAI. Other than the Solapur- Maharashtra Karnataka Border project on NH-9 the company also won the Bikaner-Suratgarh project on NH-15 from Public Works Department of Rajasthan on build- operate transfer basis.

    Solapur-Chennai via Gulbarga-Yadgir-Raichur-Karnool-Kadapa-Trupati state highway should be upgraded as new four lane national highway. It is the shortest distance to connect Mumbai-Chennai via Solapur.

    Mumbai-Pune-Solapur-Gulbarga-Yadgir-Raichur-Karnool-Kadapa-Tirupati-Chennai Section.

    Solapur city is the hub of national highways. So to avoid heavy traffic passing through city four lane outer ring road should be sanctioned by NHAI.

    Solapur-Kurnool state highway via Gulbarga-Yadgir-Raichur.
    Kadapa-Tirupati state highway via Rajampeth.
    These two state highway should be upgraded as new four lane national highways.
    From Mumbai-Pune there is 6 lane expressway NH-4, form Pune-Solapur there is 4 lane NH-9, from Kurnool-Kadapa there is 4 lane under construction NH-18, from Tirupati-Chennai there is 4 lane under construction NH-205.
    If above two mentioned state highways upgraded as new four lane national highway then this entire stretch can become shortest & new four/six lane corridor which connects Mumbai-Chennai.
    The entire stretch would be like this Mumbai-Pune-Solapur-Yadgir-Raichur-Kurnool-Kadapa-Tirupati-Chennai.
