Ashoka Buildcon Secures Rs 1387 Crore Contracts for Maharashtra’s Intelligent Traffic Management Systems
Maharashtra’s Motor Vehicles Department has awarded major contracts worth Rs 1,387 crore to Ashoka Buildcon for the implementation of advanced ITMS projects across key regions. This initiative aims to enhance traffic regulation, road safety, and urban planning in the state.

The project involves the design, implementation, integration, and maintenance of state-of-the-art traffic systems over a 10-year period, following a 15-month implementation phase. The contracts cover five key traffic circles—Nagpur, Mumbai, Pune, Konkan and Western Maharashtra, and Marathwada. With individual project allocations ranging between ₹179 crore to nearly ₹315 crore (inclusive of GST), the rollout signals a unified and technologically empowered approach to handling the complex mobility patterns of urban Maharashtra.
The systems under deployment are expected to utilise artificial intelligence, camera analytics, adaptive traffic signal systems, real-time violation detection, and integrated command centres. Together, these capabilities will not only automate but also radically optimise urban traffic operations—making cities safer, smarter, and more sustainable. Ashoka Buildcon’s project management and technical leadership, in collaboration with its subsidiary, have become instrumental in Maharashtra’s digital infrastructure goals. These projects are part of a broader ambition by the state government to transform the existing traffic ecosystem into a responsive, intelligent, and eco-conscious network, aligning with national urban reform missions.
Maharashtra’s tier-I and tier-II cities continue to battle challenges such as congestion, emissions, and rising accident rates. By turning to technology, the state is attempting to address these issues in a holistic manner. The implementation of ITMS is also expected to reduce travel time, improve emergency response mechanisms, and support climate-friendly urban planning through reduced vehicular idling and better route optimisation. In cities like Mumbai and Pune, where traffic volumes are among the highest in the country, the introduction of intelligent signalling and enforcement mechanisms could mark a transformative leap. Equally, in regional hubs like Nagpur and the Marathwada belt, which have historically lagged in transport digitisation, the systems are projected to elevate the efficiency and transparency of mobility infrastructure.
These long-term contracts also set a precedent for consistent operations, accountability, and technology upgrades—essential to keeping pace with rapid urbanisation and increasing vehicular density. The 10-year operational window post-deployment ensures the lifecycle management of these advanced systems, providing long-term value for taxpayers and better performance outcomes for enforcement agencies. The project further aligns with India’s push towards smart, gender-neutral, and equitable cities where public infrastructure is geared towards inclusivity and sustainability. Real-time monitoring can be crucial in identifying high-risk areas, improving public safety—particularly for women and vulnerable groups—and ensuring smoother movement for emergency services.
Moreover, the deployment of ITMS also holds the potential for data-driven urban governance. With better data collection on vehicle movement, traffic density, and commuter behaviour, authorities will be better equipped to plan infrastructure that matches real-time needs rather than relying solely on historical data or projections. Officials are expected to issue formal work orders shortly, which will finalise financials and set the groundwork for phase-wise execution. The scale and scope of these projects mark one of the most significant digital infrastructure upgrades in recent years in the transport domain.
While the journey to fully intelligent and carbon-neutral mobility in Maharashtra will require consistent effort and political will, this initiative provides a solid foundation. As Indian cities increasingly look to technology to meet the demands of urban growth, Maharashtra’s latest move stands as a compelling example of infrastructure meeting innovation.
