This expansion has increased the total length of national highways in Telangana from 2,500 kilometres before 2014 to 5,200 kilometres at present.

Speaking at a press conference in Hyderabad, Reddy stated that the Union government has invested significantly in infrastructure to promote economic development. Nearly Rs one trillion is being spent on five major highway corridors within the state.

The government is also prioritising the expansion of the Hyderabad-Srisailam road and the six-lane widening of the Hyderabad-Vijayawada national highway, both of which are key to managing increasing traffic volumes and improving regional logistics efficiency.
