TNRDC, besides acting as Project Sponsor, also assists Departments/Agencies of Central and State Governments in implementing projects sponsored by them as Managing Associate on fee basis. The projects implemented under this format are mostly not commercially viable on stand-alone basis but are socially and economically relevant.
Chennai Ennore Port Road Connectivity Project The first project taken up for implementation by TNRDC as early as 1998 was the Chennai Ennore Port Road Connectivity Project/ Ennore-Manali Road Improvement Project (EMRIP). The Project was subsequently included in the Port Connectivity component of the National Highway Development Programme being implemented by National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). Recognising the pioneering role played by TNRDC in conceptualizing and developing the Project, NHAI, the project sponsor, has engaged TNRDC as its Managing Associate. The Project envisages improvement of about 30 km road network in North Chennai with the objective of establishing seamless and efficient road connectivity from Chennai and Ennore ports to NH network. The roads that are being improved include Ennore Expressway, Manali Oil Refinery Road, northern part of Inner Ring Road and Thiruvottiyur-Ponneri-Panchetti Road. Besides, the Project also includes Shore Protection Works envisaging construction of 13 groynes and sea walls wherever warranted. About 1,600 nos of Project Affected Families (PAFs) are proposed to be resettled and rehabilitated. As of date about 60,000 sqm of beach has been formed and is being appreciated by the local population. The groynes are reported to have minimized the impact of the Tsunami waves that struck India on December 26, 2004. For related images, click here
Road Over Bridge (RoB) on NH 67 at Lalapet National Highway (NH) 67 connecting Tuticorin with Coimbatore is an important National Highway in Tamil Nadu. The highway carries significant traffic, mainly freight traffic from/to Tuticorin Port to western Tamil Nadu and Kerala. One of the major bottlenecks in the corridor is the level crossing at Lalapet with about 25 gate closures per day and estimated 1,75,000 Train Equivalent Units. This has resulted in vehicles experiencing significant waiting time and corresponding increase in their operating costs. In order to ameliorate the situation, Department of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India has proposed to construct a Road Over Bridge on the level crossing at Lalapet. TNRDC which had originally proposed to construct the ROB under public-private partnership model, has now been engaged by the Department as its Managing Associate for the Project.
Integrated Infrastructure Improvement of Guindy Industrial Estate Guindy Industrial Estate, also called as Thiru Vi Ka Industrial Estate, was the first Industrial Estate set up in the country. The Estate situated in Guindy within the Chennai Metropolitan Area is spread over an area of 404 acres and houses about 700 units. The Estate is being managed by Small Industries Development Corporation of Tamil Nadu Ltd (SIDCO), a Government of Tamil Nadu undertaking. Over the years, the civic infrastructure within the Estate premises has deteriorated substantially. With the aim of restoring this premium Estate to its erstwhile glory, SIDCO has engaged TNRDC as its Managing Associate for implementing a comprehensive Integrated Infrastructure Development Programme. The Programme envisages improvement of about 20 km of road network and provision of storm water in the Estate premises besides access management measures. The implementation of the Project is currently underway.
