SUB:-  INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BORDER ROADS ORGANIZATION

Dear Member,

You may be aware that Border Roads Organization (BRO) is a road construction executive force forming part of the Indian Armed Forces. It is responsible for developing and maintaining road networks in the remotest border areas of India and has been instrumental in the strategic and socio-economic elevation of these regions. In the endeavor to provide ease of movement and facilities to commuters and tourists, BRO has envisaged development of wayside amenities along the border roads of India under the project name - Café BRO.

As part of Café BRO project, 75 land parcels have been selected which are located strategically along the important tourist routes of the Himalayas and spread across the border states of India including Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh and the other north eastern states. Some of the popular sites are situated close to Manali, Leh, Kargil, Atal Tunnel, Tawang, Darkot, Wakro, Gangotri and Tanot amongst others which are eminent tourist locations with significant amount of tourist traffic, making these locations viable for setting up of wayside amenities.

The project is planned to be developed on PPP (DBFOT) model with a license period of 15 years (extendable to 5 years). Complete flexibility has been given to the developer cum operator in terms of design and scale of amenities. Besides providing common wayside amenities such as food plaza, shops, conveniences, medical facilities and parking spaces. The developers would also have the choice of additionally providing Children play area, ATMs, Vehicle repair shops, Handicraft display counters, etc.

This can be a good opportunity for established as well as emerging restaurant & hotel chains to become part of the growing tourism sector of India by positioning their brand along the famous tourist routes of Northern and Eastern India.

Interested members may contact the team members of the BRO and KPMG (  Lt. Col Aditya Puri (M: +91 9922712318 and Mr. Ankur Mishra (M: +91 99880 03316) for further assistance and understanding about the project:

With kind regards,
