Citing technical reasons, the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has postponed the tender invitation for the 74 km long Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) project, which has been on the anvil for nearly two decades.
It was only on March 31 this year, that the BDA issued a tender notification for the construction of PRR connecting Tumakuru Road to Hosur Road under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. However, the development authority could not upload the tender documents in the e-procurement portal as the necessary approval did not come from the authorities concerned.
BDA Chairman S.R. Vishwanath told The Hindu that the high-level committee headed by the Chief Secretary has to give a formal approval for the tender documents. Once this is done, revised dates for inviting tenders will be decided. “It is a technical requirement and is expected to come in a few days,” said Mr. Vishwanath.
