Hyderabad: The State government launched the HAM road development programme to upgrade connectivity across Telangana within two years.
Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy told the Assembly on Tuesday that the HAM road development programme would transform road infrastructure from villages to the State capital.
He said the first phase of the HAM road development programme covers 6,092.37 km at a cost of ₹13,006 crore. Authorities grouped 441 projects into 34 packages for execution.
He said officials have received tenders for 24 packages and are examining them. Meanwhile, the remaining 10 packages will complete the tender process within a week.
He said the government introduced systems to ensure transparency and efficiency. It also put a direct debit mechanism in place to pay contractors on time. As a result, execution is moving faster.
HAM road development programme execution and scale
Komatireddy Venkat Reddy said the HAM road development programme will build a strong road network across Telangana. He added that the focus remains on durable infrastructure that can handle future traffic demand.
He further said the government will invest around ₹20,000 crore to provide BT roads to every village. This move will strengthen connectivity at mandal, district and State levels.
The Minister said the programme includes single-lane, double-lane and four-lane roads. These categories match traffic needs in different regions. Therefore, the network will remain efficient as demand rises.
