Modi To Launch Mega Projects In Telangana

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today lay foundation stones, inaugurate and dedicate to the nation multiple railway and road projects worth around Rs 9,400 crore in Telangana.

He will dedicate key railway infrastructure projects worth around Rs 1,535 crore. These include multiple sections of the Kazipet-Vijayawada multi-tracking project covering 118 km. The project will enhance line capacity on the busy Grand Trunk corridor, enabling faster train operations, reducing congestion, improving punctuality and boosting freight traffic across the region.

The Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone for the four-laning of National Highway-167 from Gudebellur to Mahbubnagar on the Hyderabad-Panaji Economic Corridor at a total project cost of over Rs 3,175 crore. The corridor is supposed to reduce travel time by nearly 1 hour and 30 minutes while lowering fuel consumption and vehicle maintenance costs. The highway will also strengthen connectivity between Telangana and Karnataka, and facilitate industrial development in both States.

Modi will also lay the foundation stone for the Zaheerabad Industrial Area in Sangareddy district, being developed under the Hyderabad-Nagpur Industrial Corridor (HNIC) as part of the National Industrial Corridor Development Program. Being developed at a total cost of over Rs 2,350 crore across 3,245 acres, the project is located along NH-65 and will provide seamless multimodal connectivity to major cities, ports, rail networks and airports.

Envisioned as a smart integrated industrial township, the Zaheerabad Industrial Area will feature advanced and sustainable infrastructure and support next-generation industries. Key sectors identified include automobiles, food processing, machinery, metals and electrical equipment. The project is expected to attract investments of nearly Rs 10,000 crore and generate large-scale employment opportunities, significantly contributing to regional economic growth.

Modi will also inaugurate the PM MITRA Park at Warangal, also known as the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park. Developed at an estimated cost of around Rs 1,700 crore, it is India's first fully functional PM MITRA Park and operationalises the Government of India's 5F vision - Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign. Strategically located near the proposed Nagpur-Vijayawada Greenfield Expressway (NH-163G) and in proximity to NH-163, the park offers excellent multimodal connectivity to major railway networks and seaports, ensuring seamless logistics for global trade.

The PM will also dedicate to the nation the Kazipet Under Rail Bypass. It will decongest Kazipet Junction by enabling simultaneous train movements towards Hyderabad, Balharshah and Vijayawada, thereby improving operational efficiency and reducing delays.

The Prime Minister will also dedicate to the nation Indian Oil's Malkapur Terminal Project in Hyderabad, developed at over Rs 600 crore. The Malkapur Terminal has been established to augment petroleum product handling capacity and meet the growing energy demand of the region. The terminal has a total tankage capacity of 1,65,000 kilolitres (KL).

In a major milestone for India's healthcare infrastructure, Modi will dedicate to the nation Sindhu Hospital, a state-of-the-art, cancer-focused, multi-super-speciality quaternary care not-for-profit institution in Hyderabad. Spread across 2.1 million square feet with 18 floors, the hospital has 1,500 beds, more than 150 doctor consultation rooms and 29 advanced operation theatres.
