Chaitanya Projects Consultancy Pvt Ltd has announced the successful completion of a dedicated 4-lane coal corridor road from Bankibahal to Bhedabahal (SH 10). This vital infrastructure project serves as a critical conduit for the region, significantly improving the lives of approximately 2,80,000 villagers in Hemgir, Lefripada, Tangarpali, Bilashakara, and Sadar.
The 7-km concrete road, constructed with an investment of Rs 277 crore, is designed to enhance coal transportation efficiency while prioritizing safety and environmental sustainability. The use of concrete over bitumen aims to reduce noise, dust pollution, and accident hazards, especially with the daily movement of about 200 coal-carrying heavy vehicles.
Officially inaugurated on April 23, 2024, the coal corridor spans 30.811 km, marking a major milestone in Odisha’s infrastructure development. Speaking on the occasion, Sanjay Kumar Sinha, Founder and Managing Director, Chaitanya Projects Consultancy, stated, “Better road conditions will facilitate more efficient coal transportation, potentially saving significant amounts of money currently lost to delays and blockages. Completing the 4-lane dedicated coal corridor road from Bankibahal to Bhedabahal is a testament to our commitment to the ongoing pursuit of sustainable development and environmental conservation.”
“We are proud to contribute to Odisha’s infrastructure evolution, aligning with global sustainability goals,” Sinha added. “This project enhances regional connectivity and underscores our role in shaping a resilient and interconnected future for communities and industries.”
The corridor represents a crucial link in Odisha’s infrastructure network, aiming to improve logistical capabilities while reducing the carbon footprint through innovative engineering and operational excellence. Guided by the Ministry of Roads and Building Department, Chaitanya Projects Consultancy executed the project with a steadfast commitment to international standards and best practices. The integration of cutting-edge technologies and sustainable methodologies underscores Chaitanya’s dedication to advancing India’s infrastructure and sets a benchmark for future projects nationwide.
In addition to this project, Chaitanya Projects Consultancy is working on 11 more bridges to further redefine Odisha’s landscape.
Funded by Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd and constructed by the R & B department of Odisha, the completion of this project highlights the government’s commitment to fostering economic growth, ensuring safety, and protecting the environment. As the corridor opens to traffic, it heralds a new era of progress and advancement for Sundargarh and its surrounding areas.
