GHMC Plans New Link Road From Masab Tank to Chintal Basthi

14 May 2025 CW Team

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is planning a new link road to connect Masab Tank near Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital with National Highway sixty-five at Khairatabad. This proposed corridor aims to ease traffic from First Lancer Road to Chintal Basthi via Banjara Hills Road Number One and is projected to serve the city’s needs for the next twenty-five to thirty years.

To begin the project, GHMC has appointed consultants to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR). The initiative is part of a city-wide plan to address traffic bottlenecks caused by inadequate road width, poor pedestrian infrastructure, and limited public transport.

The selected consultant will be required to submit a feasibility report in forty days, a draft DPR in thirty days, and a final DPR in twenty days. The study will assess the existing road conditions, alignment plans, and structural features such as utilities, trees, and surrounding infrastructure.

The report will also cover pavement and stormwater drainage design, signage and lighting proposals, and a traffic study to forecast future load and propose optimal connectivity solutions aligned with the approved Road Development Plan.
