NHAI’s Brief Scope: Consultancy Services for preparation of DPR for 4 laning from Ghaziabad-Hapur to Kanpur-Unnao Greenfield alignment via Farrukhabad (tentative length 380 Km)

The bids have now been sent for technical bid evaluation which can take a couple months to complete. When that is done, the financial bids of the technically qualified bidders will be opened to reveal who’s the lowest bidder and most likely consultant.

The project was first announced in September 2019 and the central government approved its construction in May 2022. It will initially have four lanes with the provision to be expanded to 8 lanes in the future.

The highway’s alignment is expected to pass through nine districts — Ghaziabad, Hapur, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Kasganj, Farrukhabad, Kannauj, Unnao and Kanpur. It will run along the southern bank of the Ganga River somewhat parallel to the 594 km Ganga Expressway on the northern bank.
