The remaining 17.5 TMC will cater to Hyderabad’s drinking water requirements. The project, executed under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), is expected to be completed within two years.

Additionally, a Rs 1.2 billion project will see the inauguration of 15 reservoirs out of a total of 71. The initiative will cover areas including Saroor Nagar, Maheshwaram, Shamshabad, Hayathnagar, Ibrahimpatnam, Ghatkesar, Keesara, Rajendranagar, Shamirpet, Medchal, Qutbullapur, RC Puram, Patancheru, and Bolarum. Once complete, it is expected to serve the drinking water needs of 2.5 million residents across 14 mandals in Telangana.

This project will provide drinking water and sewage systems to Kokapet Layout, Neo Polis, and the Special Economic Zone (SEZ), benefiting approximately 1.3 million Hyderabadis and scheduled for completion within two years.
