NICE Road agreement analysis

n - 22-JAN-2013

Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) has been embroiled in controversies from the 1997 when the framework agreement was signed.  Though the agreement itself does not appear to be on a public domain, a good analysis of the mechanics of PPP agreement is attached.  Some excerpts:

BMIC - Why so high toll on NICE road?

silkboard - 21-JAN-2013

Kind of tired now of reading once-in-a-while-news-updates on NICE vs State of Karnataka case in Supreme Court. Also tired of seeing blatant self-promotion (misuse? illegal?) by Mr Ashok Kheny on his state-given PPP land. But more than that, why are the tolls so high on the NICE peripheral road?

BMTC buses on NICE Road

Nags123 - 29-OCT-2010

Hi All, 

I think we should ask BMTC to run buses on NICE road especially buses starting from electronic City towards Girinagar, BSK II/III stage,  Srinagar, Hanumantha Nagar, Chandra layaout, Vijayanagar,  Rajaji Nagar .etc

NICE comparison!

srinidhi - 3-MAY-2010

 There was a recent comparison of the UP state Yamuna expressway and BMIC by the editor of Vijaya Karnataka news paper..

This by-far looks a neutral review/comparison of the projects. The salient points are as below:

BMIC

Yamuna Expressway

Location

Bangalore-Mysore

Noida-Agra

BMIC: dont need approval, wont pay fees

tsubba - 1-FEB-2010

The Department of Law, GoK, had remained silent for 4 years. It now has advised BMICAPA that the BMIC project needs its approval and must pay betterment fees. As thing stand BMIC has neither sought approval nor has paid any fees, which run into "hundreds of crores". So what exactly is BMIC willing to do?

NICE Expressway toll and receipt, taxes?

silkboard - 16-SEP-2009

Wanted to share an observation. Usually, on getting a receipt, I take a quick glance to see if it is "proper". I am told a proper one is supposed to have a number, date, and tax id number of the business that is issuing it.

Better toll collection method - BMIC Peripheral Road

s_yajaman - 6-FEB-2009

Here is a suggestion for Mr.Kheny on toll collection on the BMIC Peripheral Road.  His current method can be improved quite a bit to ensure that the main expressway has free moving traffic (this is an access controlled Expressway and ought to be signal free).
