NHAI starts work on ₹2,500-cr Mancherial-Warangal NH project

NHAI
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has started construction work on a greenfield highway between Mancherial and Warangal in Telangana at an estimated investment of ₹2,500 crore. It has invited tenders for the four-lane access-controlled greenfield highway covering a distance of 108 km from Narva village in Mancherial to Oorugonda village in Warangal district. Under Package I of the project, NHAI will lay the road from Narva village to Puttapaka, which is about 31 km away, at a cost of ₹873 crore on a hybrid-annuity basis. The second and third packages will cost ₹881 crore and ₹852 crore, respectively. This project has been sanctioned under the Other Economic Corridor Programme as part of the Nagpur - Vijayawada Corridor. Meanwhile, the Centre has also planned a 100-km-long greenfield highway in Khammam to be built at an estimated cost of ₹2,200 crore. These highways are being constructed under the Green Highway Policy. In 2015, the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways launched the Green Highways (Plantation, Transplantation, Beautification & Maintenance) Policy to promote the greening of highway corridors with the participation of community, farmers, private sector, NGOs, and government institutions.
