HYDERABAD

The Panchayat Raj Engineering Department is all set to issue tenders for a massive road upgradation project worth ₹6,294.81 crore under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM).

The project involves construction, upgradation, and maintenance of roads connecting Gram Panchayats (GPs) to mandal headquarters, mandal headquarters to district headquarters, and district headquarters to State headquarters.

The tenders will be issued on October 17 by the Engineer-in-Chief, PR Hyderabad, for 17 packages covering 2,162 roads spanning 7,449.50 km across 96 constituencies.

Under the HAM model, 40% of the project cost will be paid by the government during construction, while 60% will be mobilised by contractors from banks. The contractors will also be responsible for maintaining the roads for 15 years after a 2.5-year construction period.

Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Minister Danasari Anasuya (Seethakka) said that the HAM project will significantly develop village roads and boost the rural economy. This flagship programme aims to transform rural roads and improve transportation infrastructure.
