Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has invited proposals from agencies for providing consultancy services in the preparation of Economic Development Plan (EDP) and Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) for Hyderabad Metropolitan Area, envisioning a 30-year growth of the city, with the year 2050 in focus.
The CMP study is in two parts—for the estimation of ridership for the recently proposed 12 new metro rail corridors and for the preparation of the comprehensive mobility plan for the 7,257 square kilometres of Hyderabad Metropolitan Area, comprising seven districts, 70 mandals, 1,032 villages, including the areas in the purview of GHMC and HMDA.
“The study aims at preparing the long-term transport strategy and identify practicable and effective investment programmes in line with National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP) 2006/2014 and other plans of HMDA, GHMC, HMRL and other stakeholders. The investment programmes are intended to achieve transport improvements consistent with the long-term strategy for 2050,” the Request For Proposals (RFP) document read.
