The ADT has crossed the
and maintenance of a project relating to the construction of the Delhi Noida Toll Bridge under the Build-Own-Operate- 1lakh mark and is
Transfer (BOOT) basis. The Delhi Noida Toll Bridge comprises the Delhi Noida Toll Bridge, adjoining roads and other related further expected to
double by 2021
facilities. The Delhi Noida Bridge (DND Flyway) is an eight lane tolled facility across the Yamuna river, connecting Noida to
South Delhi. It is 552.5mts long with a 27 lane toll collection plaza at the Noida end. It has a maximum capacity of 222,000
vehicles per day. The company has further added the Mayur Vihar Link, which was opened to traffic in January 2008 and is the
quickest route between Mayur Vihar (on the Noida side) and South Delhi. The vehicular profile on the bridge includes 75%
cars, 22% two-wheelers and 3% commercial vehicles.
Assured IRR of 20%
The concession agreement between the company, the promoter and NOIDA provides for an initial concession period based on project costs
of 30 years and assures a 20% return on total capital outlay, not just on equity. If the developer is unable to make the stated highly in favor of the
company
IRR, the concession period is to be increased by 2 years at a time. The increase in toll charges is linked to the Consumer Price
Index. In order to ensure project viability, the company is also allotted development rights for land on both sides of NTB,
subject to approvals from the relevant authorities.

Outlook on Traffic Growth remains strong
The average daily traffic (ADT) on the bridge has shown strong growth from about 17,000 vehicles in 2000-2001 to more
than 104,000 vehicles per day in 2009-2010 and is further expected to cross 200,504 vehicles by 2021, according to a recent Traffic growth to
continue
traffic revalidation study by Halcrow Consulting. The implementation of planned development in Noida and Greater Noida is
likely to receive further impetus due to development of the Yamuna Expressway and real estate projects associated with it.
Although the DND Flyway caters specifically to traffic between Noida/Mayur Vihar and South Delhi, it continues to
compete with two toll free bridges which cross the Yamuna River, namely, Nizamuddin Bridge and Okhla Bridge. The
management expects that the line extension of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, which currently caters to commuters traveling
between Central Delhi and Noida, will not affect the bridge traffic.
