This is one of the projects , coming under BOT, under National Highway Development Programme (NHDP) Phase-III B and envisages 4/6 laning of the road in Chengapalli–Coimbatore–Walayar on the Tamil Nadu and Kerala border under several sections of national highway (NH)-47 in Tamil Nadu.

The company has announced that it has received provisional certificate for commercial operation and the toll collection started from Wednesday (October 14, 2015).  This is one of the projects out of 3 projects which the company entered into a share purchase agreement with TRIL, a Tata group infrastructure company.
