Hyderabad Sanctions Rs 7.49 Billion for Roads and Civic Projects

08 May 2025 CW Team

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has approved infrastructure upgrades worth over Rs 7.49 billion to improve urban mobility and civic services across the city. A major component of this investment is a high-impact corridor linking Khajaguda Junction, IIT Junction, and Cyberabad Police headquarters to Gachibowli—targeting congestion relief and better accessibility in Hyderabad’s core technology zone.

A 215-foot-wide arterial road will be constructed between Khajaguda and Gachibowli. The design includes multi-level flyovers, a 150-lane connector from Anjaiah Nagar to Ranki Tower Road, and grade separators to support current and future traffic demands. Officials expect the corridor to improve public transport access and support modal shifts, while also incorporating pedestrian-friendly and eco-conscious elements.

Additional works include Rs 21.2 million for relocating the Krishna Phase-two water pipeline at Bandlaguda Cross Road and constructing a box drain between Yerragunta and Bandlaguda Housing Colony to manage flooding and health risks.

The GHMC has also leased 4,350 square yards in Gopanpally to an animal welfare group for a modern care centre. A Rs 51 million road widening plan for the Nagabowli–Dabeerpura stretch and a Rs 29.5 million reconstruction in Bouddha Nagar have also been sanctioned, with drainage and concrete road enhancements near schools.

A new agreement will see a healthcare organisation maintain Jubilee Hills Check Post Park and Bamboo Park for three years. Furthermore, GHMC approved land acquisitions for widening roads in congested areas like Topkhana Masjid, Osmangunj, and Begum Bazaar, with over 260 properties to be procured for expanding corridors up to 18 metres wide.

Urban experts have welcomed these upgrades, urging equitable implementation with community input to ensure sustainable growth and minimal displacement.
