Telangana pushes rural connectivity with large road expansion plan

Telangana on March 21 outlined plans to build 7,450 km of rural roads across 96 constituencies, with Rs 1,372 crore allocated for the current year.

The programme will be implemented through a hybrid model in which private players will fund 60 per cent of the project cost.

The government will repay the remaining amount over time, spreading financial liability while ensuring project execution.

The road network expansion is aimed at improving connectivity across rural areas and supporting local economic activity.

The initiative forms part of broader infrastructure development efforts announced in the state’s budget.
