MUDA’s proposal to hire Project Consultant to prepare DPR okayed
Mysuru: The proposed Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) in the outskirts of Mysuru has got a fresh push with the Urban Development Department giving its consent to the proposal of Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) to invite tender to appoint a Project Consultant for preparing a Detailed Project Report (DPR).
In a recent notification dated Dec. 16, 2022, from the Office of Under Secretary to the Government, Development Authority and Town Planning Service, Urban Development Department, it has been given a go ahead with five strictures to be followed.
According to the copy of the notification, the tender should be invited on the lines of — Request for Proposal (RFP) utilising KC-8 Standard Bid Document under Least Cost Selection (LCS) of Rule 28D of Karnataka Transparency in Public Procurements (KTPP) Act.
The five strictures are as follows: The Authority (read MUDA) should bear the expenditures for the preparation of Detailed Project Report from its own resources. In the tender notification, only details of the project, required scope of work and the period of preparing the report should be mentioned. The Implementation Authority should not mention the estimated cost of preparing project report. After preparing DPR and during framing of the project, the Authority has to decide on including the project under Bharat Mala-Stage 2 or relevant project. KTPP rules should be mandatorily followed and involve / obtain the service.
In his letter seeking approval for hiring a Project Consultant on Oct. 28, 2022, MUDA Commissioner had stated that ‘with the presence of commercial clusters, the industrial activities in Mysuru City will grow further, conducive for overall development. On the other hand, plans are on the anvil to upgrade Mysuru City Corporation as Bruhat MCC. Hence, it is essential to build a Peripheral Ring Road (PRR), which requires acquisition of 824 acres of land. The total project cost is estimated at Rs. 1,971 crore including Rs. 1,236 crore for land acquisition and Rs. 735 crore for road works.’
For preparing the DPR alone, Rs. 9.85 crore is required and hence seeking the approval for the said amount, and call for tender on the model of Expression of Interest to hire a Project Consultant.
The PRR is a 45-metre wide road estimated to run for 73.25 kms (up to 120 km).
De-congest ORR
It is aimed at de-congesting the density of traffic on the present 42.5 km long six-lane Outer Ring Road that connects Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway, KRS road, Hunsur Highway, Bogadi road, H. D. Kote road, Nanjangud road, T. Narasipur road, Bannur road and Mahadevapura Road.
More raods, more highways and more ring roads for car loving Indians, who are multiplying like rats! India has become the most polluted third world dump!

Mysore is getting rapidly urbanised, before it gets congested, it’s mandatory to plan and design metro rail routes .
Thanks to swines who are still in India
Finally, the stage is set for destroying Mysore just like how bangalore is destroyed
Hello all,
This is Sam, the IT techie, who does coding I claim in the cutting technology areas, working in the San Francisco-the Bay Area of the USA.
You stupid thickheads why do you complain about Mysore’s development? Ignoramuses like you, do not realise that Murthy bought cheap the green field acres of land by bribing the CM at that time, and constructed the INFOSYS institute, to train more IT techies who can provide cheap labour by working on coding of outsourced work. I am ever grateful to Murthys and Infosys, and support more INFOSYS expansion into Mysore
Murthy also was responsible for expanding Bangalore into Whitefield area and beyond.
Yes, Murthys became very rich, educated their children in the USA, bought luxury apartments there, gave massive dowry to a British Indian to make him the son inlaw, and he in turn becomes the PM of Britain, thanks to his money given by Murthys.
I support development of Mysore. It is not enough and needs more development, better international airport, and should become a city like Banagalore. This ring road should be a start.
Kindly appoint world class consultants like PARSONS, JACOBS, Mott MacDonald etc to do a proper feasibility study, proper city planning, future growth, CAPEX requirement , technical requirement, multi mode transportation connectivity . So that it will not go Bangalore way and will be beneficial for future generations.
For current CBD they should also consider Electric tram trains to decongest Mysore, to keep environment friendly, low construction cost, better connectivity and of course tourism point of view .
Planning for the metro rails and land acquisition should be included in this foresight as land acquisition is the biggest hurdle one needs jump during infrastructure development. airport is properly located near to city shud be expanded and made international very soon!!
Sir 2005 alli agiro prr Bangalore road innu shuru madila…ina Mysore alli shuru madoke hogidare😂😂😂😂
First they should repair the existing ring roads… No road safety and railway under bridges are still 2lane… Still many humps and potholes…etc…
First they must repair and maintain existing ring road before building a new one..
Our MP Sri Pratap Simha must look into this matter..
What about 18 year old Guinness record delayed Bangalore prr Bda if don’t have money let them charge cess from ring road abetting property 10% value it should be 300 / sft and suberb 500 mtrs both side as 4% its will be 100rs / sft even land owner won’t have money ready selling time or construction time they pay keeping that in account Bank will be funding it will be enough for entire project why bargain with farmers what a injustice to the farmers and public how much patrol daily wasting national and public in traffic jam how many people daily one hour time lost in traffic daily more than one lac hour’s collectively I estimate 5000 cr / year already Bangalore and banglorians lost 80000 cr last 18 years
I truly agree with both pro n agaist .
I agree that Mysore is a heritage city . So Let’s leave the old city to remain our heritage and build a better Mysore with all modern facilities like the metro big roads and good infra to attract industries and FDIs on the outskirts so that we retain Old world charm of Mysore intact and build a better Planned New Mysore .
Hey @Sanjay Kini
I am not surprised by your naivety.
During early the then CM Nijalinagappa, said, while giving permission to establish BEL and HMT at the outskirts of Bangalore, and also the ITI, that he wanted to preserve the beautiful garden city of Bangalore-Nehru called it, and build an industrial outside Bangalore. Look what happened! Those who arrived to work in these industries wanted to live in the city and commute to work in BEL and HMT, that linking Jalahalli easily to Bangalore. Parts of Malleswaram with beautiful trees were developed : the Swimming Pool extension was created and spread, , and the City was on the way to destruction. Sleepy Yeshwantpur town became core of Bangalore!
Then came the Infosys and Wipro, the founders of Infosys said , they wanted to preserve Bangalore’s beauty, by that time Bangalore became too expensive to live, and bought green field lands-areas of them near White Field, by bribing the CM then, and see what happened to Bangalore since 1980s.
Hey@Kini, you seem ignorant of history , and hence you talk nonsense of preserving the core of the city and developing in at the peripheries!
Just like Nijalingappa said about Bangalore in early 1960s, and the Infosys and Wipro founders said in 1980s!
Mysore is heading towards Greater Mysore, just like Bangalore, when it absorbed Koramangala , a sleepy village to its core, Kengeri etc..
This Greater Mysore will extend up to Charajanagara, in one direction, and will absorb Mandya as a suburb, thanks to the 10-lane Mysore-Bangalore Highway in the other direction!!
Add to the above, the expanded Mysore Airport, Modi’s ‘ promise to Keralite businessmen in Abu Dhabi, approving the Abu Dhabi-Mysore non-stop flights,. These Keralites currently smuggle gold into Kerala, and want to expand their smuggling operations to Mysore , then to Mysore-Bangalore corridor, thanks to the Highway. These crime bosses, want to buy buildings in the City centre and want to establish their reps in the City centre!
MP Simha is planning Hassan-Kodagu-Kerala Highway too., The new Vande Bharat express. All planned to bring more immigrants to Mysore, who want to live near the City centre!
Hey @Kini, there is NOTHING like Heritage City untouched at the core, and modern city at the outskirts -both de-linked!
That is naivety to the extreme, after Bangalore example!!
Hello Sanjay Kini
Well, what happens to Chamundi Hill which is already reeling from the Mysore’s population’s visits to the Hill top using the Hill Road plus visits from outsiders, when the residents of your Modern Mysore-the New Mysore, you call it, also want to take their cars and visit the Chamundi Hill, using the Hill Road?
It is people like you, who are in plenty as politicians and officials who will finally ensure that Chamundi Hill will end up crumbled as a huge mound of stones and mud!

Firstly build flyover at all the intersection of the connectivity road junction leading to Bangalore Airport etc for easy flow of traffic in mysore Outer ring road.It is cost effective instead of implementing PPR..PPR proposal itself is a plan for corption by politicians.
Save mysore with plans before get destroyed like bangalore proper plan dont allow to chop more trees under n multilevel grafe seperators in junction will decongest traffics only flyovers is a waste
What is the mode of funding? If it is from world Bank, ADB etc don’t need one.There will be a hidden clause to increase city tax to meet loan repayment over years!!
Let the experts take a decision as to what should be done instead of politicians who are usually dumb headed to create a better infrastructure to handle Mysore,s future.
