Posted On: 28 MAR 2026 4:25PM by PIB Delhi NHAI has issued Letter of Award (LOA) for the Four Laning of Gudebellur to Mahabubnagar Section of NH-167 in Telangana. The project has been awarded to M/s KNR Constructions Limited for an amount of Rs. 1,734 Crores on Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM). The 80 km long project is a part of the Hyderabad–Panaji Economic Corridor and was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) in February 2026. The implementation of the project includes construction of five major bridges, 36 minor bridges, 260 culverts, 11 vehicular underpass, 22 LVUP, one RoB/RUB, service roads of length 48 km and a 56 km long slip road. The Gudebellur–Mahabubnagar section of National Highway 167 currently faces significant travel delays particularly in densely populated towns and villages such as Gudebellur, Magnoor, Makthal, Marikal, Devarkadra, Jaklair, Yeligandla and Banderpally. The upgrade to a four-lane standard will ease traffic bottlenecks, improve road safety and ensure smoother freight and passenger movement. Once completed, the project will also help to strengthen multimodal integration by linking three PM Gati Shakti economic nodes, nine social nodes and seven logistics nodes. It will also improve connectivity to Hyderabad’s industrial and commercial centres, including the Hyderabad–Bengaluru NICDC corridor, pharmaceutical and medical clusters and Special Economic Zones (SEZs). The four lane National Highway will connect major cities and towns such as Mahabubnagar, Narayanpet, Raichur, Devarkadra, Makthal and Hyderabad, while facilitating access to religious and tourist destinations in the region. ***** GDH/HJ (Release ID: 2246440) Visitor Counter : 694 Read this release in: Urdu , हिन्दी , Telugu Ministry of Road Transport & Highways NHAI Awards Contract for Four Laning of Gudebellur to Mahabubnagar Section of NH-167 in Telangana Posted On: 28 MAR 2026 4:25PM by PIB Delhi NHAI has issued Letter of Award (LOA) for the Four Laning of Gudebellur to Mahabubnagar Section of NH-167 in Telangana.
