Telangana Approves Rs. 17.21 bn Streetlight Project

The Telangana government has granted administrative approval for a 10-year streetlight maintenance project covering three corporations in the Hyderabad-area Core Urban Region. The revised cost is Rs. 17.21 bn, compared with Rs. 13.42 bn sanctioned under an earlier approval issued on 6 March 2026. The latest approval was granted on 4 November 2026.

The government has directed that the contract be awarded to BAC Infratech, which submitted the lowest price during the tender process. The three corporations jointly have 760,000 streetlights, making the project one of the larger urban lighting maintenance programmes in the state. Work is scheduled to start in December after the agreement process is completed by the end of November.

Under the contract, BAC Infratech must ensure that 98 per cent of the streetlights are functioning each day. Its responsibilities include repairing lights that fail and responding to related complaints. The arrangement is intended to provide a defined maintenance mechanism across the participating corporations during the 10-year contract period.

Separate monitoring dashboards will be developed for each of the three corporations. The streetlights are also to be connected to control units within six months, creating a system for tracking operational status and maintenance activity. The dashboards will support oversight of complaints, repairs and daily functionality.

Osmania University has been assigned responsibility for third-party assessment of the contractor’s performance. Its role will provide an independent evaluation of compliance with the service requirements, including the daily functionality target and complaint handling. The government’s administrative approval establishes the financial and operational framework, while implementation will follow the agreement process and the planned December start.
