Telangana Gets 191-km Four-Lane Highway Boost

12 Jun 2026 CW Team

The Armoor?Jagtial stretch of 63.6 km and the Jagtial?Mancherial stretch of 68.295 km on NH?63 will be developed under the Hybrid Annuity Model, while the 58.866 km Jagtial?Karimnagar section will proceed on a Build?Operate?Transfer toll basis. The packages include significant greenfield realignments and bypasses to reduce congestion in built?up areas. Construction and operation timelines were outlined by officials.

The corridors traverse Nizamabad, Jagtial, Mancherial and Karimnagar districts and pass through urban stretches such as Anksapoor, Korutla, Dharmapuri, Lakshettipet, Potharam and Gangadhara, where traffic density is high. The works will adopt an open?tolling system and a design speed of 100 kmph to improve movement and safety along the routes. Officials said the upgrades will strengthen multimodal connectivity with nearby railway stations.

The upgraded corridors are expected to link five economic nodes, seven social nodes and 10 logistics nodes, connecting Special Economic Zones at Siddipet and Warangal Urban, Mega Food Parks at Nizamabad and Siddipet, and the Fishing and Seafood Cluster at Rajanna Sircilla. Social and tourism destinations that will gain improved access include Vemulawada, Kondagattu, Nagunur Fort, Lower Manair Dam and Quila Fort. This is intended to spur regional development.

Official estimates indicate travel time between Armoor and Mancherial will be shorter by around one hour and 30 minutes and that the Jagtial to Karimnagar journey will be reduced by nearly 45 minutes, while fuel consumption, carbon emissions and vehicle operating costs should decline. The projects are projected to generate 3.443 million (mn) direct man?days and 4.27 mn indirect man?days during construction and operation. Traffic counts recorded Annual Average Daily Traffic at 14,949 PCUs on Armoor?Jagtial, 12,084 PCUs on Jagtial?Mancherial and 20,446 PCUs on Jagtial?Karimnagar in 2024?25.

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by the Prime Minister, approved the widening of the Armoor?Jagtial?Mancherial section of National Highway?63 and the Jagtial?Karimnagar section of National Highway?563 to four?lane standards. The combined capital cost was sanctioned at Rs 75.97 billion (bn), covering a total project length of 190.76 km. The sanction was cleared to be implemented in three separate packages. The Armoor?Jagtial stretch of 63.6 km and the Jagtial?Mancherial stretch of 68.295 km on NH?63 will be developed under the Hybrid Annuity Model, while the 58.866 km Jagtial?Karimnagar section will proceed on a Build?Operate?Transfer toll basis.
