Hyderabad infrastructure development

Hyderabad can easily be counted among the most promising residential and commercial hubs in India, because of the unprecedented growth it has registered in both areas. Despite an overall slowdown in commercial and residential segments in India, the city of Nizams has acted as an exception, even in the Coronavirus-hit year 2020. The present growth trend could easily be attributed to the proper planning of the city.

With an aim to make Hyderabad, one of the fastest-growing cities in Asia, a traffic-free city, the Telangana government plans to update the Hyderabad master plan and take up laying of roads as per the amended plan.

In fact, according to the state government, over Rs 8,000 crores was spent, to create better infrastructure facilities in Hyderabad, over the past six years. This has been helpful, as the city has been ranked among the fastest-growing cities in India. Mercer has continuously ranked Hyderabad as the top city on its ‘Liveability Index’ for the last five years.

As more roads are developed, to link various parts of the city within and outside, their specifications must be put in place, keeping in view the tremendous increase in traffic. Since the master plan acts as a blueprint for the overall development of the city, it is important to understand the key provisions of the Hyderabad master plan.

Hyderabad master plan

To provide Hyderabad the infrastructure it would require, to cater to a population of 185 lakhs and a workforce comprising 65 lakh people by 2031, the authorities, in 2013, notified the Hyderabad masterplan (HMDA masterplan), 2031. Under the plan, 5,965 sq kms of area is allocated for various purposes under the city’s land-use policy.

Examined in this article are the key points of the Hyderabad master plan of 2031 and how it would shape the city in future.
