The Telangana government has sought Rs 1.63 lakh crore financial assistance from the Central government for nine major infrastructure and development projects aimed at boosting the state's growth and improving urban living standards including Metro Rail phase-2, Regional Ring Road, Radial Roads, Musi Riverfront Development Project and others.

Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka handed over a memorandum to this effect to Union Minister for Coals and Mines G Kishan Reddy on Monday on the sidelines of the Mining Ministers national conference being held in Odisha.

The Deputy CM emphasized the transformative impact of these projects in enhancing Telangana's infrastructure, industrial growth, and sustainable urban development. "We request the Union Government to approve and support these critical projects that align with national priorities," he told Kishan Reddy.

The state proposes to construct a 350-km Regional Ring Road (RRR) at a cost of Rs 34,367.62 crore to ease traffic congestion around Hyderabad while fostering the development of satellite towns, industrial hubs, and logistics parks. Additionally, Rs 45,000 crore is sought for developing 10 greenfield radial roads to extend Hyderabad’s growth beyond the existing Outer Ring Road (ORR).

To enhance urban mobility, the government plans a Rs 24,269-crore Metro Rail Phase-II expansion, covering 76.4 km across five new corridors. The Musi Riverfront Development Project, estimated at Rs 14,100 crore, includes measures like sewage interception, heritage bridge construction, and riverfront infrastructure development to rejuvenate the Musi River.

The state has also proposed the Rs 7,440-crore Godavari-Musi River Link Project, for meeting drinking water needs of Hyderabad and for ensuring clean Godavari water flows through the Musi after its rejuvenation. Furthermore, the Hyderabad Sewerage Master Plan, with an estimated cost of Rs 17,212.69 crore, envisions a 7,444-km sewer network covering Hyderabad and its peripheral urban local bodies.

The Warangal Underground Drainage Plan, costing Rs 4,170 crore, aims to establish a comprehensive drainage system in Telangana’s second-largest city. The state has also highlighted the need for an Rs 17,000-crore greenfield highway to connect Hyderabad’s dry port with Bandar Port in Andhra Pradesh, enhancing export infrastructure and industrial connectivity.

Telangana has requested the direct allocation of coal blocks to Singareni Collieries and inclusion under the India Semiconductor Mission, emphasizing its potential as a hub for electronics manufacturing. These projects collectively represent the state’s vision for sustainable development and industrial growth, aligning with national priorities.
