PRR work to private firm?

[1]

Bengaluru: A cash strapped Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA) is reportedly considering handing over phase 1 of its ambitious Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) project , covering 65 km, to a private player for execution.
The stretch between Hosur Road and Tumkur Road via Sarjapur Road, Old Madras Road, Yelahanka and Tumkur could be built using the Swiss Challenge method.
As the project has been in the cold storage for a long time, the BDA could bring in some changes in the interest of its speedy completion. For instance the width of the road could be reduced from 100 feet to 60 feet to make it more financially viable, say sources.
But this could be easier said than done as PRR has been planned concentric to the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and will need to be at least 100 meters wide with an access controlled corridor for quick movement of vehicles. If the width of the road is reduced to just 60 meters its very purpose will have been defeated, say critics of the BDA's new plans.
The Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA) has been given the task of preparing a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the PRR, which could be made a toll road.
Around 40 feet of the land acquired for the project could be transformed into a commercial hub and allotted to those who gave up their land, as compensation, sources reveal.
But a farmers’ leader from Huskur near Anekal, N. Raghu complained that the BDA was not being transparent with farmers on the project's execution.” Farmers have been kept in the dark and have not been given proper compensation,” he said.
