NH projects

Modi is expected to lay the foundation stone for 176-km-long National Highway (NH) projects worth over ₹5,550 crore. The projects include the 108-km-long Mancherial–Warangal section of the Nagpur-Vijayawada Corridor.

The section is expected to reduce the distance between Mancherial and Warangal by around 34 km, thus reducing travel time and decongesting traffic on NH-44 and NH-65.

He will also lay the foundation stone for the upgradation of the 68-km-long Karimnagar–Warangal section of NH-563 from the existing two-lane to a four-lane configuration.

This is expected to help improve connectivity between the Hyderabad-Warangal Industrial Corridor, Kakatiya Mega Textile Park, and the SEZ in Warangal.

Modi will also lay the foundation stone of the Railway Manufacturing Unit at Kazipet. To be developed at a cost of over ₹500 crore, the modern manufacturing unit is expected to have enhanced wagon-manufacturing capacity.

It will reportedly be equipped with the latest technology standards and facilities such as robotic painting of wagons, state-of-the-art machinery and a plant with modern material storage and handling.

It is expected to help in local employment generation and the development of ancillary units in nearby areas.
