KBR Park Gets a ₹1,090-Crore Elevated Corridor Makeover

In a major infrastructure overhaul for central Hyderabad, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has approved a revised ₹1,090-crore elevated corridor around Kasu Brahmananda Reddy (KBR) Park. The proposed 4.3-km, six-lane continuous structure replaces an earlier blueprint of separate flyovers, underpasses, and grade separators under the Hyderabad City Innovative and Transformative Infrastructure (H-CITI) programme.

GHMC Clears Continuous 4.3-Km Corridor Across Two Packages

The revised H-CITI infrastructure plan was officially approved by the GHMC Standing Committee on October 3, 2026. Following the clearance, GHMC Commissioner RV Karnan conducted an on-site inspection around the KBR Park perimeter with senior municipal engineering officials on October 5.

The project will be executed in EPC mode across two distinct packages totaling ₹1,090 crore. Package 1 is budgeted at ₹580 crore and spans from Jubilee Hills Check Post Junction to Mugdha Junction. Package 2, estimated at ₹510 crore, extends the alignment towards Muffakham Jah College and incorporates a dedicated access ramp connecting to Banjara Hills Road No. 1.

Overall, the continuous elevated corridor is designed to run from Jubilee Hills Check Post to NFCL Junction in Punjagutta, streamlining traffic through a single elevated corridor instead of multiple disjointed ground-level grade separators.

Impact on Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills Commuters

Daily commuters moving across Jubilee Hills, Punjagutta, and Banjara Hills are set to experience shifts in traffic flow once construction commences and final alignments are established. The corridor aims to ease congestion across five major junctions surrounding the park, providing uninterrupted bidirectional movement for city motorists.

For residents, commercial establishments, and property owners along the corridor, the revised elevated alignment brings changes to local access routes and right-of-way considerations. GHMC indicated that the elevated corridor approach significantly reduces the need to acquire high-value private land in prime commercial zones compared to ground-level road widening.

Property owners tracking local infrastructure alignments and title records in adjacent residential sectors can review documentation protocols through the Bhu Bharati Portal to monitor right-of-way notifications as project surveys progress.

Five Major Junctions Transformed Across Central Hyderabad

The project covers one of Hyderabad’s most vital commercial and transit routes, connecting the bustling Jubilee Hills Check Post area with the Punjagutta and NFCL commercial side. By bridging five heavy-traffic junctions in a unified elevated alignment, the project seeks to segregate through-traffic from local vehicular movements.

GHMC officials highlighted that the continuous elevated corridor design is structured specifically to minimize tree felling around the perimeter of KBR Park, preserving the sensitive green cover while still delivering high-capacity roadway infrastructure.

“Proposals for flyovers and underpasses were reassessed after the one-way traffic system around KBR Park received a good response, and the redesign is intended to overcome legal delays linked to tree-felling litigation.”

From Fragmented Flyovers to the H-CITI Redesign

Under earlier iterations of the H-CITI programme, the civic body had planned a series of fragmented grade separators, separate flyovers, and underpasses around the KBR Park junction network. However, those initial construction plans stalled due to prolonged litigation surrounding environmental and tree-felling permissions.

The recent introduction and positive operational feedback from the one-way traffic trial around KBR Park prompted authorities to rethink the entire design. The consolidated six-lane elevated corridor emerged as a streamlined alternative that addresses traffic demands while circumventing the specific environmental constraints that previously halted ground construction.

Real estate buyers assessing new residential or commercial projects in surrounding micro-markets should ensure that developments comply with statutory approvals outlined under Telangana RERA, particularly when transit corridors alter neighborhood access.

Tender Execution and Next Steps for Construction

While the GHMC Standing Committee has granted its formal approval for the ₹1,090-crore proposal, the project must complete subsequent administrative and technical milestones before work begins on the ground. The official report does not yet specify a ground-breaking date or a definitive completion deadline.

Stakeholders must track the publication of EPC tender documents, detailed engineering blueprints, updated cost evaluations, and the rollout of local traffic diversion schemes before heavy civil works begin.
