Hyderabad to Upgrade 1,045 km Roads Under CRMP Phase-2 at ₹3,145 Cr

State Clears 10-Yr Road Maintenance Plan Covering Key Urban Networks

A 1,045-km road network in Hyderabad is set for an upgrade under CRMP Phase-2. The project is estimated at ₹3,145 crore, as reported by ET Infra. The project will cover road networks across all three municipal corporations: Greater Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Malkajgiri. The state government has recently granted administrative sanction for the programme.

Major Share Allocated to Phase-I Works

Out of the total outlay, about ₹2,230 crore will be allocated to BT and CC roads under Phase I. These works will use conventional methods and cover 744.22 km. In addition, ₹208 crore has been earmarked for 64.49 km of CC roads that were not included earlier.

Another ₹707 crore will be utilised for upgrading 236 km of BT roads using Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) technology, depending on pavement conditions.

398 km of Additional Roads Covered

The plan also includes 398.32 km of approach roads. Of this, 97.5 km has already been recarpeted using GHMC funds and is currently under execution. The remaining 300.79 km comprises 236.30 km of BT roads and 64.49 km of CC roads.

GHMC to Fund Project Over 10 Years

GHMC commissioner RV Karnan stated that the ₹3,145 crore project will be funded through GHMC’s general funds. The funding will be spread over a 10-year period from 2026-27 to 2035-36. 

The civic body will not seek additional financial assistance from the state government.

DPRs Before Tendering, Selective Recarpeting Planned

Officials said detailed project reports (DPRs) will be prepared before tendering begins. Recarpeting will be carried out only where required, while roads in good condition will continue to receive routine maintenance.

The scope of work includes lane marking, mechanical sweeping, and the development of footpaths and medians. It also covers signage installation and repairs to catch pits and manholes.

10-year Design Based on Past Works

According to a government order issued by the municipal administration and urban development department, CRMP Phase II has been planned. The programme is designed to be implemented over a 10-year period. The plan factors in earlier works executed by HRDCL and adopts FDR technology selectively based on pavement conditions.
