Jabli to Kasauli ropeway project: Rs 206 crore has no taker
Ropeways and Rapid Transport System Development Corporation (RTDC) has plans to convene a pre-bid meeting for the Rs 206-crore passenger ropeway project connecting Jabli on the Kalka-Shimla on July 15th, 2023. RTDC failed to find a promoter despite inviting its tenders a year ago. The project is to be executed in the public-private partnership mode.
3.88-km ropeway will reduce the journey time from an hour to about 20 minutes and would be an eco-friendly transportation mode. The lower terminal point of the project will be situated at Mohal Bhat ka Gaon (Jabli) on the Parwanoo-Dharampur section of the NH-5. The upper terminal point has been identified near the Public Works Department Circuit House in Kasauli.
