Telangana Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy has sought Central government support to secure national highway status for two road corridors and proposed Rs. 450 bn for 10 greenfield radial roads linking Hyderabad’s Outer Ring Road (ORR) with the proposed Regional Ring Road (RRR).

Reddy raised the proposals with Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, citing the state’s expanding transport and infrastructure requirements. The plans are intended to improve regional connectivity, strengthen logistics links and expand road access across Hyderabad and surrounding areas.

The corridors proposed for national highway status are Sangareddy–Narsapur–Toopran–Gajwel–Jagdevpur–Bhongir–Choutuppal and Choutuppal–Amangal–Shadnagar–Sangareddy. Together, they would connect districts and towns across the wider Hyderabad region and adjoining urban and semi-urban areas of Telangana.

The second proposal covers 10 new greenfield radial roads along the metropolitan corridor. These routes would connect the existing ORR with the proposed RRR, creating additional links between Hyderabad’s peripheral road network and the planned regional ring road. The investment proposed for the roads is Rs. 450 bn, according to Reddy’s statement.

Gadkari informed Reddy that the policy for declaring new national highways is under consultation. The proposals will be processed after the guidelines are finalised, meaning they have not yet received national highway approval or a confirmed implementation timeline. The available information does not specify the status of land acquisition, detailed project reports, funding approvals, construction tenders or environmental clearances. It also does not provide a schedule for the policy’s finalisation or decisions on the two corridors. Reddy said he would continue pursuing the proposals with the Union government as Telangana seeks stronger regional connectivity and logistics infrastructure.
