The National Highways Authority of India has received strong bidder participation for the 111-km, six-lane Capital Region Ring Road planned around Bhubaneswar. A total of 64 bids were submitted across three construction packages under the Hybrid Annuity Mode, indicating solid interest from infrastructure developers. The project, estimated to cost INR 8,307 crore, has most land acquisition and statutory clearances already in place, allowing NHAI to move towards awarding contracts and starting construction as scheduled.
The National Highways Authority of India has drawn significant interest from construction companies for the Capital Region Ring Road project encircling Bhubaneswar. The authority invited bids for the project in three packages and received a combined total of 64 bids, with Package I attracting 23 bids, Package II receiving 25 bids, and Package III drawing 16 bids. Officials view this response as a strong signal of industry confidence in the project's scale, design, and financial structure. Advertisement
The ring road is planned as a 111-km, six-lane greenfield corridor connecting Rameshwar in Khurda district with Tangi in Cuttack district. It is intended to function as a bypass for Bhubaneswar and nearby urban centres, reducing traffic load on existing highways, particularly stretches of NH-16 that currently pass through congested city areas. The project was approved by the Union Cabinet and is being implemented under the Hybrid Annuity Mode, where construction risk is shared between the government and private developers.
The estimated cost of the project stands at INR 8,307 crore. Nearly 96 percent of the land required for the corridor has already been acquired, and key forest, wildlife, and environmental clearances have been secured. These preparatory steps are expected to help avoid delays during execution and allow faster mobilisation once contracts are awarded.
NHAI has indicated that the bidding process is progressing as planned, with contract awards expected shortly and construction to begin soon after. The execution period has been set at around two and a half years from the start of work. Once completed, the ring road is expected to improve traffic movement, reduce travel time around the capital region, and support future urban and economic growth in and around Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and Khurda.
