The initiative will cover areas including Saroor Nagar, Maheshwaram, Shamshabad, Hayathnagar, Ibrahimpatnam, Ghatkesar, Keesara, Rajendranagar, Shamirpet, Medchal, Qutbullapur, RC Puram, Patancheru, and Bolarum.

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.
