Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation for multiple development projects worth more than Rs 6,800 crores in Sangareddy, Telangana. These projects encompass key sectors like road, rail, petroleum, aviation, and natural gas.
A Major Boost for Aviation Sector
The Prime Minister inaugurated the Civil Aviation Research Organization (CARO) center in Hyderabad at Begumpet Airport. This center, the first of its kind, is expected to give new recognition to Telangana in the field. The state-of-art facility, built at a cost of more than Rs 350 crore, is compliant with 5-STAR-GRIHA Rating and Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) norms.
Enhancing Road and Rail Connectivity
Modi also inaugurated and laid the foundation for three National Highway projects. He laid the foundation stone for the six-laning of the 29 km long Pune-Hyderabad Section of NH-65. This project is expected to improve connectivity to major industrial centers in Telangana.
In addition, the Prime Minister inaugurated the doubling and electrification of the Sanathnagar-Moula Ali rail line along with six new station buildings. He flagged off the inaugural MMTS (Multi-Modal Transport Service) Train Service from Ghatkesar-Lingampalli via Moula Ali-Sanathnagar. This service extends the popular suburban train service in the Hyderabad-Secunderabad twin city regions to new areas for the first time.
Strengthening Petroleum and Natural Gas Infrastructure
Modi inaugurated the Indian Oil Paradip-Hyderabad Product Pipeline. The 1,212-km product pipeline with a capacity of 4.5 MMTPA traverses through the states of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. This pipeline is expected to ensure safe and economical transportation of petroleum products from Paradip Refinery to various delivery stations.
The Prime Minister’s visit to Telangana marks a significant step towards the development of the state. He emphasized that the central government is working to serve Telangana with the same spirit. “I believe in the mantra of rashtra vikas through vikas of the states”, the Prime Minister said, highlighting the government’s working ideology.
