Toll road firm MEP Infrastructure Developers has achieved financial closure for two four laning of outer ring road projects in Nagpur valued at Rs 1,170 crore.
The two projects will be funded by IDBI and India Infrastructure Finance Company (IIFCL), a statement issued here said today.

"The financial viability of such projects will ensure the speedy growth and expansion of our road infrastructure," company's Vice Chairman and Managing Director Jayant Mhaiskar said.

This project, awarded by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), will be developed under the new hybrid annuity model, which is a mix of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and build operate transfer (BOT) system.
