The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has revised the Hyderabad City Innovative and Transformative Infrastructure (HCITI) plan, dropping most of the flyovers and underpasses planned around KBR National Park. Instead, it has proposed a continuous elevated steel corridor in their place.
The GHMC Standing Committee, chaired by Special Officer Jayesh Ranjan, cleared the revised plan on Saturday, 3 October. It now goes to the state government, followed by EPC Committee-III and the GHMC General Body.
Commissioner RV Karnan inspected the proposed 4.3-km elevated corridor works on Monday, 5 October. In a following statement, the GHMC said it reassessed proposals for isolated underpasses after successfully implementing the one-way traffic system around KBR Park, and that the congested stretch needed a permanent solution rather than fragmented grade separators.
The revised plan contains two packages. Package 1 will be a steel flyover from Jubilee Hills Check Post Junction to Mugdha Junction, with an estimated cost of ₹580 Crore. Package 2 will connect Mugdha Junction to Muffakham Jah College, with a ramp to Banjara Hills Road No. 1, with ₹510 Crore sanctioned. GHMC wants the existing EPC contractor, Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd (MEIL), to execute the revised works.
Cancelled proposals include the flyover at NFCL Junction, the underpass and flyover at TV9 Junction. Planned works at Road No. 45, Film Nagar, and Cancer Hospital have also been shelved.
Videos showing contractors filling trenches already dug at some sites and dismantling iron centring readied for pillars are being circulated widely on social media. A large number of trees were also cut down to make way for the construction work.
GHMC has not made a statement on the losses incurred due to the revised plan, and instead said that the modified plan would save ₹1200 crore of public money.
