Restoration is underway across 10,238 km, while annual maintenance is being carried out on a further 22,602 km. The government has allocated Rs. 30.14 bn for the restoration programme.

A 24-km Tenali-Mangalagiri corridor has been proposed under the Hybrid Annuity Model at an estimated Rs. 5.99 bn. The department is also introducing an infrared recycling repair system and an artificial intelligence and machine-learning dashcam system to identify road defects.
