Telangana Allocates Rs 17,600 Crore for Urban Push

The Telangana government has earmarked over $2.12 billion for urban infrastructure and development projects under the 2025-26 budget, reflecting the state’s rapid urbanisation driven by IT growth and major infrastructure initiatives.

Finance Minister Bhatti Vikramarka highlighted the H-CITI plan, aimed at improving urban infrastructure and mitigating traffic congestion. The first phase involves constructing 31 flyovers, 17 underpasses, and 10 road expansion projects with an investment of $846 million.

The Musi Riverfront Development Project focuses on revitalising the Osmansagar and Himayatsagar reservoirs by supplying Godavari water through the Godavari Drinking Water Supply Scheme. Additionally, the Water Board has initiated the construction of four sewage treatment plants (STPs) with a total capacity of 20 MLD to enhance wastewater management and water quality.

To ensure timely execution of major projects, including the Musi Riverfront Development, Metro Rail Expansion, Regional Ring Road, Telangana Bhavan in Delhi, and New Osmania Hospital Building, the government has launched the SPEED initiative (Smart, Proactive, Efficient, and Effective Delivery).

The Integrated Stormwater Drainage Project, worth $715 million, aims to mitigate urban flooding and enhance Hyderabad’s resilience. Meanwhile, the ORR Phase-2 Water Supply Project is nearing completion to ensure a reliable drinking water supply within the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) limits.

Beyond Hyderabad $542 million has been allocated to promote growth in newly established municipalities and urban development authorities across the state.

Efforts are also underway to boost tier-2 cities like Warangal, Nizamabad, and Khammam. Warangal is being positioned as a hub for education, healthcare, and IT, while Nizamabad and Khammam are being developed for agriculture-based industries and manufacturing.

The state’s ambitious three-year plan emphasizes sustainable, well-planned urban infrastructure aimed at enhancing the quality of life for its residents.
