Punjab has received an unsolicited proposal from Reliance Energy Ltd for developing a massive expressway connecting Pathankot in Gurudaspur district to Ajmer in Rajasthan.The expressway would pass through Haryana to reach Rajasthan. In phase-I of the project, the expressway will be developed up to the Punjab-Haryana border. The length and the cost will be worked out once the alignment study is finalised.Leading real estate developer Omaxe Ltd has also proposed to construct an eight-lane ring road around Amritsar city.For both the projects, PIDB has proposed to use the Swiss Challenge route wherein competitive bids will be solicited from other prospective bidders and the original proponents will be given a chance to match them.Meanwhile, PIDB recently cleared diverse investment proposals worth Rs 20,000 crore that will be developed using the public-private partnership route. Amongst the proposals cleared in the roadway sector is the 99-km Mohali-Phagwara expressway expected to cost Rs 2,161 crore. The project will require 2,470 acres of land estimated to cost Rs 500 crore. Another expressway planned will connect Mohali to Baddi, the developing industrial belt in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. The 66-km stretch will cost Rs 2,660 crore, with 3 km lying in the neighbouring state.
