BDA to execute short tunnel at Hebbal under EPC mode in Bengaluru
The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has shifted the execution of the Hebbal short tunnel project to the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) mode to ensure faster implementation. The project cost has increased to ₹1,139 crore, with Rithwik Projects Private Limited selected as the contractor.
Why it matters
This reflects the government's effort to streamline infrastructure development and maintain direct control over large-scale urban projects to avoid delays.
The short tunnel from Hebbal junction to the Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University (KVAFSU) in Bengaluru will be executed under the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) mode, moving away from the earlier plan to implement the project under a hybrid model, according to the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA).
