Hyderabad: Telangana will invest ₹60,799 crore in a massive road development push, Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy announced on Saturday. He said the state aims to upgrade road infrastructure to attract multinational firms and generate rural jobs.
According to the Minister, these projects are expected to bring investment worth lakhs of crores and provide employment to lakhs of youth. The government has begun preparing proposals to strengthen infrastructure across the state.
Key projects: RRR, NH widening, rural upgrades
One major plan involves expanding the Hyderabad–Vijayawada National Highway from four to eight lanes. This ₹10,400 crore project will feature six main lanes and two service roads, aimed at improving safety and local access.
The Regional Ring Road (RRR), designed to link all districts, has been allotted ₹36,000 crore. This six-lane expressway will be developed with the state covering half of the total cost.
In addition, single-lane roads in rural areas will be widened to two lanes. The state will implement Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) projects worth ₹11,399 crore. Tenders will be floated shortly. Komatireddy noted that new road approvals will depend on traffic congestion studies.
Greenfield and elevated corridors approved
The Minister also shared that a 52-km elevated corridor between Mannanur and Srisailam is nearing approval. The project cost is estimated at ₹8,000 crore.
Another major proposal is a ₹20,000 crore Greenfield Highway. It will connect Future City to Bandar Port via Amaravati and significantly boost Telangana’s logistics and trade network.
To reduce accidents, the government is also focusing on road safety. Komatireddy said detailed planning is underway to address safety risks at the design stage itself.
He expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka for backing the infrastructure drive. The Chief Minister reviews project progress every 15 days and actively lobbies with Union Ministers during Delhi visits.
“This support has fast-tracked progress in the roads sector,” Komatireddy said. He called the opportunity to lead this initiative a defining moment in his political career.
