Greenfield Highway, Hyderabad RRR Among Projects Reviewed By Telangana CM Reddy

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has directed officials to accelerate land acquisition and compensation payments for National Highway projects across the state, urging district collectors to adopt a humanitarian approach and explain the benefits of road expansion to farmers to ensure smooth progress.

Chairing a high-level review at State Secretariat with officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), Roads and Buildings Department and Forest Department, the Chief Minister scrutinised delays in granting approvals and permissions.

He cautioned that small reasons should not lead to delays in several highway works and instructed collectors to finalise land acquisition and compensation by October.

On the Hyderabad Regional Ring Road (RRR), he questioned NHAI over fresh objections to the northern section despite earlier clarifications.

Emphasising the need for uniformity, he instructed officials not to treat the RRR’s northern and southern stretches as separate projects.

He said the same number allotted to the northern section should be applied to the south as well, with NHAI granting approvals quickly so that work on both could begin at the same time.

He also pressed for immediate clearance of the Bharat Future City–Amaravati–Machilipatnam 12 lane greenfield highway, announcing plans for a dry port, logistics hub and industrial park.

He highlighted that the project would reduce the Hyderabad–Vijayawada distance by 70 km, enhance passenger convenience and freight movement, and deliver record traffic and revenue.

Parallelly, he sought a Bengaluru–Shamshabad–Amaravati rail link to support Vande Bharat and other trains.

The Chief Minister demanded prompt approvals for an elevated corridor on the Hyderabad–Srisailam route and urged resolution of a pending NGT case on tree removal along the Hyderabad–Manneguda road.
