The consortium involving three companies, including Meinhardt, RIOS and Cushman and Wakefield and alongwith ZHA and SOM, are already conducting different surveys to prepare the DPR. After the consortium prepares the DPR for a portion of the river flow, the Musi Riverfront Development Corporation Limited (MRDCL) would submit it to the government. Accordingly, steps would be taken to raise nearly Rs.4,100 crore as a loan from Asian Development Bank (ADB) for executing the works.
