Project Scope

Raj Corporation Limited is constructing Package I of the Kanpur Outer Ring Road, a flagship NHAI project designed to decongest Kanpur city by providing a 93.2 km access-controlled highway around the urban core. RCL's 23.3 km segment lies west of Kanpur city, connecting Sachendi (Design Ch. 0.000) to Mandhana (Design Ch. 23.325).

Once complete, this corridor will connect major national highways including NH-19, NH-34, and NH-27, and link to the under-construction Lucknow–Kanpur Expressway near Amarsus village.

Land acquisition for Phase 1 began in September 2021. The overall Kanpur ORR project targets completion by December 2027, with Package I targeted for opening by October 2026.
