The grand plan
The Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, had given his in-principle approval for HUDA’s proposal on new townships in Hyderabad at a review meeting here on Saturday, according to a release.
The Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (HUDA) will develop five world class townships in and around Greater Hyderabad.
The Chief Minister said the Jawaharnagar region to the north of Hyderabad would be the biggest township in the country. The proposed township would come up on 2,118 hectares of land.
Two-tier cities and towns like Vijayawada, Tirupati, Kurnool, Guntur, Warangal and Nellore would be developed on the lines of Hyderabad by setting up of IT parks, institutes of excellence, research labs and townships, Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy said.
Hyderabad would soon become a world class city with links to all world capitals, he said and added that air connectivity would also be developed to all important district headquarters in the State.
The five townships proposed to be developed are Jawahar Nagar, Discovery City at Srinagar, an NRI Township at Budvel, Techno City at Tellapur and Medi City in Ameenpur.
Observing that the Hitech City had become very congested without any scope for further development, the Chief Minister had asked the HUDA officials to ensure proper planning of the new townships.
On the proposed development of the Jawahar Nagar region (situated to the north of Hyderabad), the HUDA officials explained to the Chief Minister that the township, once fully completed, would provide four lakh direct and indirect jobs and would attract 40 per cent of the population from other areas.
The Chief Minister said the Jawaharnagar region to the north of Hyderabad would be the biggest township in the country. The proposed township would come up on 2,118 hectares of land.
The presence of reputed institutions such as BITS Pilani, and lakes and resorts would be an added advantage, they said.
Dr Reddy had also approved the draft master plan of Tellapur Techno City Township, which is to be developed in a self-contained and self-sustainable manner.
For the Discovery City that is to come up at Srinagar in the city, the developers (Ramky Group) had submitted the draft development agreement for HUDA’s approval.
He also approved the master plan of Tellapur Techno City, a self-contained and self-sustainable township. Another township Discovery City will come up at Srinagar in the city and the Ramky submitted the draft development agreement for the approval of HADA, which is now under the legal scrutiny.
The proposed NRI township at Budvel near Rajendranagar will also be developed as an NRI township. About 100 spacious and sprawling villas are planned in one and half acre land.
Approximate built-up space of 15,000 to 20,000 sq ft per each villa is planned. It would have elevated corridor connectivity to the proposed new Hyderabad International Airport and Outer Ring Road.
He said the city’s traffic problems would be solve once the plans to develop Greater Hyderabad with an estimated cost of around Rs 28,000 crore materialised.
