Telangana Minister for R&B Komatireddy Venkat Reddy met Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari in New Delhi on Tuesday, with Tourism and Culture Minister Jupally Krishna Rao present.
Komatireddy said Gadkari approved the LB Nagar – Hayathnagar Double Decker Elevated Corridor and the foundation-laying proposal for the Iconic Cable Bridge over the River Krishna on NH-167K.
He said five ropeways for Telangana were approved under the Parvatmala Scheme and three new ROBs were sanctioned under the Setu Bandhan Scheme.
Gadkari instructed officials to prepare a fresh DPR for the Hyderabad–Srisailam (NH-765) elevated corridor. Komatireddy sought CRIF allocations for 34 works in Telangana, and Gadkari instructed the officials concerned to examine the proposals.
Gadkari responded positively to the Hyderabad–Amaravati Greenfield Highway and to upgrading the Pullur–Alampur–Kollapur–Devarakonda–Nalgonda stretch into a National Highway.
The ministers invited him to the Indian Road Congress (IRC) in Hyderabad from Nov 19–22, 2026.
