NHAI Telangana
In a big boost to road infrastructure and improving connectivity across districts, NHAI has allocated nine NH projects to Telangana involving ₹22,982 crore investment covering 865km long road network. Land acquisition has already been approved for seven projects and the same for the remaining would be finalized shortly. The projects include four laning of Mancherial-Warangal section, four to six laning of Warangal-Khammam section and also four to six laning of Khammam-Telangana/Andhra Pradesh border all under NH 163 G (Nagpur-Vijayawada corridor). A greenfield project is also targeted for award in 2022-23 for a four/six laning of Karimnagar-Telangana / Maharashtra border under Hyderabad-Raipur corridor. It would be taken up at a cost of ₹1,849 crore for a length of 116 km. The major highlight of the nine upcoming projects is the Regional Ring Road (RRR) in Hyderabad, which will cover 158 km connecting Sangareddy, Narsapur, Toopran, Gajwel, Yadadri, Pragnapur, Bhongir and Choutuppal costing ₹7,512 crore. The NHAI has invited bids to prepare DPR for the northern portion of RRR last year and once completed the traffic towards Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Bengaluru, and Delhi can be diverted to RRR, reducing traffic congestion. Not just this, the nearby towns such as Siddipet, Karimnagar, Kamareddy, Mahbubnagar, Nalgonda and Warangal will witness improved connectivity with the capital city of Hyderabad.
