NHLML has been assigned to undertake works related to development of Ropeways and other innovative/alternative mobility solutions.
Ropeways is an attractive mode of transport in travel and tourism industry. It has emerged as a convenient, robust and safe transport mode over the last century and are ideal for last mile or inter-modal connectivity especially in hilly terrain. While ropeways have historically evolved in mountainous regions for connecting higher altitude regions, they are also emerging as transport solutions applicable for not only for higher altitudes but even urban transport.
Underlying factors driving ropeway infrastructure development are:
Last mile connectivity
Ropeway projects have a maximum capacity of 6000-8000 passengers per hour depending on the technology adopted.
Faster mode of transportation.
Ropeways can be built in a straight line over hilly terrain, thus compensating the slower speed (15-30 km per hour)
Economical mode of transportation
Despite higher cost of construction per km vis-à-vis road transport shorter length connecting origin and destination makes it more economical than roadways.
Proposed Project Facilities
Boarding & De-boarding, Administration Block, waiting lounge, Clock Room, Gondola parking space, Eating Joint, Drinking / Water Facility, Shops, Medical Facility, Car Parking Facility D.G.
