Telangana Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy has urged the Union government to consider national highway status for two corridors and provide Rs. 450 bn for 10 greenfield radial roads around Hyderabad. The proposals are aimed at improving regional connectivity and linking the city’s existing Outer Ring Road with the proposed Regional Ring Road.

Reddy raised the requests with Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, citing Telangana’s expanding transport and infrastructure requirements. The first corridor would run from Sangareddy through Narsapur, Toopran, Gajwel, Jagdevpur and Bhongir to Choutuppal, while the second would connect Choutuppal, Amangal, Shadnagar and Sangareddy.

Gadkari informed Reddy that the policy for declaring new national highways was under consultation. The two highway proposals will be processed after the guidelines are finalised, meaning that national highway status has not yet been approved.

The separate funding request covers 10 new greenfield radial roads intended to connect Hyderabad’s Outer Ring Road with the proposed Regional Ring Road. The links are planned to improve movement between the metropolitan area, surrounding districts and regional routes, while supporting logistics and infrastructure requirements associated with economic growth.

The proposals remain at different stages and no construction timeline, tender schedule, land-acquisition plan or execution agency has been announced. The highway request is awaiting the Centre’s final policy framework, while the radial-road plan remains a funding and infrastructure proposal submitted for consideration. Implementation will depend on Union government decisions, further project details and approvals under the applicable highway framework. Reddy said he would continue pursuing the proposals, arguing that stronger regional connectivity and modern road infrastructure were important for Hyderabad and Telangana’s development.
