Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka announced that the State government has taken a decision to implement the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) to enhance road infrastructure development in Telangana.

What is HAM model?

The government would contribute 40 percent of the funding, while private developers would supply the remaining 60 percent. This approach is designed to optimize resource use and expedite project completion. The Deputy Chief Minister mentioned that the State government has received administrative approval for the development of 769.35 kilometers of new roads, backed by an investment of Rs.3,725.22 crores, aimed at enhancing connectivity and modernizing transportation infrastructure.

As part of this initiative, 55 kilometers of roads and 9 bridges have already been completed, he said. Bhatti Vikramarka said the State government has undertaken a major initiative to improve rural connectivity by ensuring that every panchayat is connected with a BT (Bituminous) road, facilitating smoother transportation and accessibility.

In addition to this, large-scale repairs and restoration of damaged rural roads have been carried out. The government has granted administrative approval for the construction of modern court complexes in 12 district headquarters, with an allocated budget of Rs.972 crore, ensuring better legal facilities and improved access to justice across Telangana State, he informed.

The Deputy Chief Minister stated that a Regional Ring Road plan has been developed to fill the gap in the national highway network on all sides of Hyderabad city and it is proposed to lay four lanes initially and based on the future traffic requirements will expand to eight lanes.

"The land acquisition process for the northern part of the project has already commenced. For the southern part, the NHAI has appointed consultants to prepare a detailed project report. The government considers this project to be a game-changer for the development of Telangana," Bhatti disclosed.
