The Integrated Stormwater Drainage Project, worth $715 million, aims to mitigate urban flooding and enhance Hyderabad’s resilience.

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.
