IRB Infrastructure Developers Limited (formerly IRB Infrastructure Developers Private Limited, Ideal Road Builders) is an Indian highway construction company.[2] It was incorporated in 1998, with its headquarters in Mumbai.[3] It is part of the IRB Group and headed by Virendra Dattatraya Mhaiskar.[4] The company primarily operates build-operate-transfer (BOT) road projects.[5] Currently, it has about 3,404 lane km operational and about 2,330 lane km under development.[6] Among its notable projects are the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the Ahmedabad-Vadodara Expressway.[2][7]

History

[edit]

IRB Infrastructure executed India's first ever BOT (build-operate-transfer) project, the Thane-Bhivandi Bypass. Over the years, its BOT portfolio (operational projects and projects under construction) in the country grew to a total length of around 12,000-lane km. IRB executed projects like the four-laning of the Goa-Karnataka border from Karwar to Kundapur section of NH66, Agra-Etawah Bypass project,[8] Udaipur-Rajasthan NH8 project,[9] and Kaithal to Rajasthan NH152 project.[10][11]

In 2009, IRB Infra won the bid to develop the greenfield Sindhudurg Airport in the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra on a build-operate-transfer basis.[12][13]

In July 2011, IRB Infrastructure signed an agreement to develop a 102.3 km section in the Ahmedabad-Vadodara NH8 into six lanes from the existing four lanes. The project also included improvement of a 93.302 km section of the existing Ahmedabad – Vadodara Expressway (NE 1), on a Design Building Finance Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis.[14][15]

In 2012, IRB acquired Tamil Nadu based BOT road builder MVR Infrastructure and Tollways for ₹130 crore.[16][17]

IRB Infrastructure acquired the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the Mumbai-Pune National Highway, which was concluded under the supervision of Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC).[18][19]

IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd. signed a contract worth ₹2,100 crore from NHAI for a six-lane project in Rajasthan and Gujarat. The project is to be developed on design, built, finance, operate and transfer (DBFOT) under the National Highways Development Programme (NHDP) phase V.[20]

IRB achieved financial closure for its BOT project from Chittorgarh and Gulabpura. The project is an expansion of the 124.87-km section on NH79, converting from a four-lane to six-lane expressway. The concession period of this project is 20 years from the appointed date, including 910 days of construction, creating smoother transit.[21] The total funding for the project by company will be ₹690 crore and by SPV (Special Public Vehicle) tied banks will be ₹1,400 crore.[22]

IRB Infrastructure developed the Kaithal-Rajasthan project (NH65). The 166.26 km-long highway became operational in 2017, and has 20.90 km of service road, 18 pedestrian underpasses, 5 vehicular underpasses, 5 flyovers, 13 small bridges, 71 intersections, 241 culverts and railways over bridges. The cost of production for project was ₹2,290 crore, including a viability gap funding of ₹234 crore.[23]

In March 2018, IRB Infrastructure won two hybrid annuity projects under NHDP phase IV in the state of Tamil Nadu, which included the four laning of NH-45A Puducherry to Poondiyankuppam and Poondiyankuppam to Sattanathapuram at a cost of ₹2,169 crore at a cost of ₹1,296 crore.[clarification needed] The construction period is 730 days and the operation period is 15 years for the said projects.[24][25]

The company also received a letter of award on from the National Highways Authority of India for a hybrid annuity project worth ₹1,640 crore under the National Highways Development Project phase VI in Gujarat. The order came after the company had emerged as the preferred bidder for the construction of the eight-lane Vadodara Kim expressway from Padra to Vadodara section of the Vadodara-Mumbai Expressway in Gujarat.[26][27]

The company got the contract (3 out of 12 packages) of Ganga Expressway, the longest under-construction expressway in Uttar Pradesh.[28]

Controversy

[edit]

They were summoned in May 2012 by the CBI, suspecting a connection with the case. During the investigation, CBI had asked Virendra Mhaiskar and other suspects to undergo a polygraph test. Mhaiskar along with the company officials had to undergo the polygraph test.[33]

[edit]
