Petition Urges NHAI to Assume Maintenance of Electronics City Flyover Post-Concession
What happened
An online petition has urged the National Highways Authority of India and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to intervene regarding the Electronics City Flyover. The flyover, which was constructed under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model by Bengaluru Elevated Tollway Limited, has a 20-year concession period. This period began in 2006 and is scheduled to end on September 10, 2026. The petition calls for toll collection to stop after September 10, 2026, and that NHAI subsequently take over maintenance.

Why it matters
The petition argues that toll collection was meant to recover all costs incurred by the concessionaire to build, operate, and maintain the infrastructure, along with a reasonable return on investment. The demand is that NHAI assume responsibility for the flyover's maintenance following the concession expiry.
