Hyderabad is poised for a major transformation in its urban mobility and civic infrastructure as the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has sanctioned infrastructure projects worth over ₹749 crore.
This includes a high-impact corridor connecting Khajaguda Junction, IIT Junction, and the Cyberabad Police headquarters to Gachibowli, promising to significantly improve traffic movement and regional accessibility in one of the city’s most vital tech and business corridors. The strategic infrastructure thrust aims to address long-standing connectivity bottlenecks, relieve congestion in high-density areas, and build resilient municipal systems that are aligned with eco-friendly and sustainable city planning frameworks.
Among the flagship approvals, the construction of a 215-foot-wide arterial road between Khajaguda and Gachibowli stands out for its scale and scope. The corridor, which will include multi-level flyovers, grade separators, and a 150-lane connector between Anjaiah Nagar and Ranki Tower Road, is designed to accommodate both existing traffic and anticipated future demand driven by ongoing urban expansion and commercial growth in the western IT hub. Officials have stated that the corridor will not only reduce travel time across key nodes but also encourage modal shifts by improving access to public transport nodes and easing the last-mile connectivity burden for thousands of daily commuters. The integration of sustainable road design—including pedestrian-friendly elements and landscaping—has been emphasised as a part of Hyderabad’s broader push towards zero net carbon development.
In tandem with these mega projects, the GHMC has also sanctioned smaller but crucial civic infrastructure works, aimed at reinforcing flood resilience and basic amenities across several city zones. Administrative approval of ₹2.12 crore was granted for the relocation of the Krishna Drinking Water Supply Phase-2 pipeline at Bandlaguda Cross Road. The pipeline shift—stretching from Royal Steel Traders to Nafees Garden Function Hall—ensures continuity in water service amid overlapping road works, without risking disruption to the area’s drinking water supply. A box drain will also be constructed between Yerragunta and Bandlaguda Housing Colony to address local drainage challenges that often escalate during the monsoon season. This infrastructure is vital not only for stormwater management but also for reducing vector-borne disease risks and protecting vulnerable housing clusters.
Further deepening its commitment to holistic civic development, the GHMC approved a 25-year lease of 4,350 square yards in Gopanpally village to an animal welfare foundation. The site, once part of a dormant charitable landholding, will be converted into a state-of-the-art animal care facility equipped with modern medical amenities. Officials noted that this move marks an evolution in the city’s public-private engagement for ethical urban stewardship, serving both human and animal well-being. In East Hyderabad, connectivity between Nagabowli junction and Dabeerpura police station will soon benefit from a new 40-foot-wide road. The ₹5.10 crore road widening plan has been cleared, and officials confirmed that this will enhance access to critical institutional and residential zones. Alongside, a reconstruction project valued at ₹2.95 crore has been approved in Bouddha Nagar, under Secunderabad Circle. It includes new concrete roads and RCC box drains near the local school, boosting both pedestrian safety and urban flood protection.
In a noteworthy partnership, the GHMC also inked a Memorandum of Understanding with a healthcare institution to maintain and develop Jubilee Hills Check Post Park and Bamboo Park at Road No. 36. Covering a combined area of over 9,000 square metres, these green spaces will be maintained for the next three years under the new agreement. This collaboration is part of a growing urban trend where corporations contribute to green infrastructure and public recreation, reinforcing Hyderabad’s aspiration for a balanced, liveable city. The municipal body also cleared a wave of land acquisition proposals for future urban transport corridors. These include the procurement of 43 properties for an 18-metre-wide road from Topkhana Masjid to Osmangunj, 19 properties for the Goshamahal-Osmangunj stretch, and 112 properties for widening the routes from Police Land to Darusalam Road and from Malakunta Road to Old Topu Khana Road. In addition, 95 properties will be acquired to widen the Ghode Ki Khabar to Begum Bazaar corridor, where road width will increase from 12 to 18 metres with a 200-metre extension. These steps are crucial for enabling high-capacity, uninterrupted road movement in some of the city’s most congested heritage precincts.
Urban planners and sustainability experts have welcomed these moves as timely interventions to create a safer, greener, and more resilient Hyderabad. However, they have also called for inclusive execution, urging the city administration to ensure that land acquisitions and relocations are carried out equitably and with community participation to prevent displacement without rehabilitation. With Hyderabad’s population expected to grow significantly over the next decade, such targeted infrastructure spending aligns with the broader goals of climate adaptive growth, clean transport, and equitable access to civic services. The recent GHMC approvals send a clear signal that the city is embracing a transformative approach to urbanisation—one that aspires to combine scale with sustainability.
