1.0 Introduction

The Indian Railways is desirous of commercial development of their land plots in various

locations that are presently lying unused and railway operations are not envisaged in the

statutory body of Indian Railways formed through an amendment to the railway Act, 1989.

By this amendment, the Railways are authorized to carry out commercial development of

Railways land. As part of this initiative of Indian Railways, one site has been identified in

Jones Lang LaSalle Property Consultants (India) Pvt Ltd has been appointed by RLDA as

Consultant for assisting RLDA in carrying out an assessment of the real estate potential of the

railway land in Vijayawada and in selecting a developer through competitive bidding process.

The study done by Jones Lang LaSalle Property Consultants (India) Pvt Ltd for the railway

land at Vijayawada involved market assessment, assessment of on-site infrastructure,

stakeholder interaction, discussion with development authorities and site analysis. This led to

identification of various development options and product mix. Conceptual plans were drawn

up for suitable option based on the applicable development controls norms and guidelines of

the local development authority and based on these the potential of the land has been arrived

at. This PIM provides relevant information to the prospective Bidder obtained from the study.

3.0 Project Potentiality and Illustrative Development Plan

3.1. Project Potentiality

Strengths:

Major Strength of the site is its’ location in close proximity to the city Railway

station.

The site enjoys very good connectivity to different parts of the city viz., central

area, new central area and suburb of the city located at an approximate distance of

1-3 km from the site. The Railway station and Pandit Nehru Bus Station are

located at an approximate distance of 0.2 km and 2.0 km respectively from the

site.

The site is located amidst a well consolidated and dense area where availability of

a contiguous land parcel of 1,272 Sqm. is a significant strength.

Opportunities:

The site surrounding is densely inhabited. This is a potential site for hotels,

restaurants and the like. Also, close proximity to Railway station makes the site

feasible for uses like Budget Hotel, Shopping Complex etc.

In spite of its close proximity to Railway Station the site micro-market, does not

have good restaurants and / or budget hotels, shopping complexes etc.
