A constituency long flagged as underserved in roads and irrigation is about to receive its biggest single-day investment push in recent memory. On the third day of his tour of Kodangal assembly constituency, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Monday, 9 November 2026, laid the foundation stones for 13 key development projects estimated at a combined cost of Rs 9,053.48 crore — signalling an aggressive infrastructure blitz in the constituency he personally represents.

A Rs 5,060-crore road that rewires regional connectivity

The single largest project in the package is Radial Road-2, stretching from Kothwalguda to Nacharam at an estimated cost of Rs 5,060 crore. This corridor, once built, would dramatically cut travel time between the Kodangal belt and Hyderabad's eastern industrial zones. Alongside it, Rs 1,410 crore has been earmarked for 223 new BT roads and the completion of pending road works under special development funds — addressing a chronic last-mile connectivity deficit that rural commuters in Vikarabad district have long complained about.

An additional Rs 59.30 crore for road construction works rounds out what is effectively a multi-layer road overhaul for the region.

MNKLIS Phase 2: Water for a thirsty farming belt

For the farmers of Kodangal, the most consequential announcement may be the launch of Phase 2 of the Makthal-Narayanpet-Kodangal Lift Irrigation Scheme (MNKLIS) at Rs 2,100 crore. The scheme, designed to lift water into the rain-shadow districts of southern Telangana, has been a long-standing demand of the agrarian communities here. Phase 2's start marks a step-up from the preliminary works undertaken in the region since the state's formation in 2014. The Rs 81 crore Ecopalm palm oil factory in the Hakimpet Industrial Corridor is positioned to absorb agricultural output from the same belt, creating an upstream-to-processing value chain in a single policy sweep.

Schools, skills, and a college for Kodangal's next generation

Education gets a substantial slice of the package. Ten Telangana Public Schools will come up at a cost of Rs 118.80 crore, while a dedicated Agricultural College in Kodangal — valued at Rs 123 crore — will give students in the constituency access to higher education without relocating to Hyderabad or Warangal. These are not cosmetic additions: the absence of quality schooling and agricultural education has historically pushed young people out of the region entirely.

Skill development gets its own anchor institution — a National Academy of Construction (NAC) Skill Development Centre in Maddur at Rs 20 crore — tapping into the NAC's established construction-sector training model based out of Hyderabad.

Bus stands, a government complex, and a push for heritage tourism

Modern bus terminals worth Rs 41.83 crore will come up in Kodangal, Kosgi, and Maddur, upgrading infrastructure that has seen minimal change for decades. An Integrated Divisional Office Complex (Rs 20 crore) will centralise government services for residents. On the tourism front, a Rs 10 crore hotel in the Hakimpet Industrial Corridor and development works at the Gurulok Masand Prabhu Temple in Thimmareddypalli (Rs 4.45 crore) and the Niranjan Math in Kodangal (Rs 5.10 crore) add a heritage and hospitality dimension to what is otherwise a roads-and-water-led programme.

The hashtag #TelanganaRising2047 — appended to the official post — ties these projects to the state's long-range vision aligned with national centenary goals. Whether the Rs 9,053 crore in foundation stones translates into completed assets on that timeline will depend on fund releases in successive budgets and land acquisition progress — both of which will face sharp scrutiny in the assembly and beyond. This is the blueprint; the construction is where it gets tested.

Point of View

053-crore package for Kodangal is as much political as it is developmental — this is the Chief Minister's own constituency, and the scale of the investment sends a clear signal about Congress's governance-through-home-turf strategy heading into the second half of its term. The inclusion of MNKLIS Phase 2 continues an irrigation arc that pre-dates the Congress government, suggesting cross-party policy continuity on water security in southern Telangana. The 2047 hashtag is a deliberate alignment with national centenary framing, an attempt to anchor state-level spending within a larger long-term narrative. Implementation fidelity — particularly on the Rs 5,060-crore radial road and the lift irrigation scheme — will ultimately determine whether this round of foundation stones marks a turning point or adds to a pattern of ambitious announcements in the region.
