Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL), the flagship company of the Adani Group, has received the Letter of Award (LoA) from Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) to implement three major stretches of the greenfield Ganga Expressway on a DBFOT (Toll) basis.
The concession period for this work is 30 years. The Ganga Expressway in Uttar Pradesh, which will connect Meerut with Prayagraj, will be India’s longest expressway to be implemented on a DBFOT basis.
Of its 594-km length, AEL will build 464 km from Budaun to Prayagraj, which comprises 80 per cent of the expressway project. The LoA to AEL covers the development of access controlled six-lane (expandable to eight-lane) expressway in three groups: 151.7 km from Budaun to Hardoi, 155.7 km from Hardoi to Unnao and 156.9 km from Unnao to Prayagraj.
"India is building at a record pace the road infrastructure it needs for its development and we are delighted to play a role in building a network of world-class road connectivity all across the nation," said a company official.
"This Letter of Award to build the Ganga Expressway, India's longest, is further evidence of the Adani Group's ability and speed of execution in managing complex, world-class infrastructure projects for the nation," he added.
With this LoA from UPEIDA, AEL’s roads portfolio has grown to 13 projects with more than 5,000 lane km and an asset value exceeding Rs 35,000 crore spread over nine states in India – Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Gujarat, West Bengal, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh.
The company’s portfolio has a mix of HAM (Hybrid Annuity Mode), TOT (Toll-Operate-Transfer) and BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) type assets.
