Hyderabad’s Paradise–Shamirpet Elevated Corridor Set to Reshape North Hyderabad Commute

Hyderabad’s proposed 18.18-km Paradise–Shamirpet elevated corridor is expected to provide a faster route for long-distance traffic travelling along Rajiv Rahadari (SH-1), while allowing the existing road to continue serving local commuters.

The corridor will connect Paradise Junction with the Outer Ring Road (ORR) at Shamirpet, with multiple entry and exit ramps planned along the route. The design is intended to allow motorists travelling towards Alwal, Bolarum, Kowkur, Thumkunta and Shamirpet to bypass several heavily congested junctions.

For commuters such as Y. Bharat, who travels from Begumpet towards Kowkur, the project could significantly change a daily journey that currently takes more than an hour. The route passes through several busy points, including Paradise, Karkhana, Trimulghery, Alwal and Hakimpet.

Residents farther north could also see a difference. Commuters from Shamirpet and Thumkunta currently pass through Hakimpet, Bolarum, Alwal, Trimulghery, Karkhana and Patny before reaching central Hyderabad. By shifting through traffic onto an elevated route, the project is expected to reduce pressure on the surface road.

However, residents along the alignment are also facing disruption during construction. Road-widening and preparatory works have already affected parts of Lothkunta and Shamirpet, with several establishments demolished. The project will also require the removal of structures including the Trimulgherry RTO office and Marredpally Traffic Police Station.

Residents in Karkhana and other congested areas have raised concerns about traffic diversions and construction-related disruption before the corridor becomes operational. Some commuters have also questioned whether additional road capacity alone can provide long-term congestion relief, highlighting the importance of improved public transport.

According to a Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) official, the elevated corridor is estimated to be completed by early 2028. Once operational, the project is expected to separate a significant share of long-distance traffic from local movements, potentially making the existing surface road more accessible for neighbourhood traffic.

Hyderabad Secures Drinking Water Supply Until Summer 2027 as Godavari Reservoirs Overflow

Hyderabad residents can breathe a sigh of relief as the city’s drinking water supply has been secured until Summer 2027, thanks to heavy monsoon rains that have significantly increased water levels in Godavari-linked reservoirs. Officials from the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) confirmed that the recent spell of continuous rainfall has transformed the city’s water outlook, easing concerns over future shortages.

Earlier, authorities had estimated that the available water reserves would last only until November 2026. However, abundant rainfall across Telangana has dramatically improved storage levels in major reservoirs, extending Hyderabad’s drinking water security by several more months.

One of the biggest contributors to this improvement is the Sripada Yellampalli Project on the Godavari River. The project currently supplies around 162 million gallons of water per day (MGD) to Hyderabad. Following the recent rains, inflows into the reservoir surged to nearly 1.91 lakh cusecs, causing water storage to rise from 8.1 TMC to over 16.2 TMC within just a few days. The project continues to provide nearly 10 TMC of drinking water annually to the city.

The Kadem Reservoir has also reached full capacity due to heavy inflows, prompting authorities to open five floodgates. Officials resumed pumping water to the Nandi Pump House and other connected projects, further strengthening the water distribution network.

Meanwhile, ongoing repair and maintenance work at the Singur Reservoir temporarily reduced its water supply from the usual 75 MGD to around 69.5 MGD. Despite this reduction, officials assured that the increased inflows from Godavari-linked projects would comfortably compensate for the shortfall, ensuring uninterrupted drinking water supply across Hyderabad.

Currently, the HMWSSB supplies approximately 550 million gallons of drinking water every day to Hyderabad. Water is sourced from six major reservoirs, including Singur, Manjira, Krishna, Godavari, Osman Sagar, and Himayat Sagar. The recent monsoon has significantly strengthened these reserves, providing confidence that the city will have adequate water resources well into next summer.

Officials have welcomed the improved reservoir levels, stating that the strong monsoon has not only secured Hyderabad’s immediate water needs but also enhanced long-term water management and sustainability. Citizens are nevertheless encouraged to continue using water responsibly and avoid unnecessary wastage to ensure efficient utilization of the available resources.
