Feedback Infra bags its largest-ever Expressway mandate

NHAI has awarded Feedback Infra, the task of preparing a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the proposed Nagpur to Hyderabad to Bengaluru expressway. With an approximate distance of 1,100 kilometers, this will be one of the longest expressways currently being planned in the world. The expressway is estimated to cost at least Rs 35,000 crore. It will pass through four states: Maharashtra, Telengana, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka.

Feedback Infra’s Highways IndVe SBU will establish the technical, economic and financial viability of this project and prepare the DPR of the project including the rehabilitation and upgrading of the existing road configuration, if required. This assignment is also the largest-ever assignment for highways IndVe.

Commenting on the achievement, Vinayak Chatterjee, Chairman, Feedback Infra said, “We are delighted to have won this mandate. It shows that Indian engineering firms are able to go up the scale from designing highways to designing such long and technically complex expressways. We are confident that our team’s work will result in this much-needed corridor taking shape sooner rather than later.”

Feedback Infra has been associated with other expressway projects, either in an advisory or in a project management role. The most recent being the 302 km Agra to Lucknow expressway and the 700 km Nagpur to Mumbai super expressway.

Feedback Infra works in transportation, energy, and urban infrastructure serving clients across Union and State governments; private developers; and banks and financial institutions. In these three sectors, it provides consulting services for new and existing projects; manages their design and construction; and operates and maintains infrastructure assets. Feedback Infra, while privately held, is backed by its three shareholders—IDFC Bank Ltd., L&T Infrastructure Finance Company Ltd., and HDFC Ltd.
