HYDERABAD, October 19, 2026: The road-expansion initiative in Hyderabad’s Old City continues to be an important infrastructure development for residents of Dabeerpura and surrounding localities. The project associated with the proposed road corridor from Shaik Faiz Kaman to Dabeerpura Flyover is intended to improve road capacity, traffic movement and connectivity in this densely populated part of the city.

60-foot-wide road planned

According to publicly available Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) records, the proposed corridor is designed as an approximately 60-foot-wide road. The development plan for the Shaik Faiz Kaman–Dabeerpura Flyover route received GHMC approval in June 2021, with 106 affected properties identified under the approved road-development proposal.

The project forms part of broader efforts to improve connectivity across Hyderabad, including roads that can support access to important destinations and help ease congestion in the Old City.

Property dismantling and construction tenders

Recent procurement records indicate further implementation activity. In June 2026, GHMC invited bids for dismantling 38 affected properties along the proposed 60-foot-wide corridor. Tender records subsequently listed R.K. Earth Movers as the awarded contractor for this dismantling work, with an accepted contract value of approximately ₹20.08 lakh.

Separately, GHMC issued a tender in May 2026 for constructing a cement-concrete (CC) road and footpaths along the widened stretch between Shaik Faiz Kaman and Dabeerpura Flyover. The tender's estimated value was approximately ₹4.18 crore, and the bidding process closed in June 2026.

These records establish that property-clearance and road-construction procurement activities have progressed. However, the latest publicly verified documents reviewed for this report do not independently establish the current on-site completion percentage, the date of completion or whether all affected properties have been cleared.

What this means for Dabeerpura residents

The road expansion is expected to improve movement for motorists, pedestrians, local businesses and residents once the relevant sections are completed and opened for use. A wider carriageway, together with planned footpaths, could help improve road accessibility and pedestrian movement.

For residents and shopkeepers along the Jabbad Hotel–Shaik Faiz Kaman stretch, the key issues remain the actual implementation timeline, the extent of property clearance, construction sequencing and arrangements to minimise disruption during the work.

It is important to distinguish the wider Shaik Faiz Kaman–Dabeerpura Flyover project from the specific Jabbad Hotel–Shaik Faiz Kaman section. A current official progress update confirming the precise status of that individual stretch was not available in the records reviewed.

Public interest and the next steps

Residents will be looking for clear updates from GHMC and the relevant authorities on the remaining clearance work, construction commencement and completion schedules, traffic diversions, pedestrian safety and access to homes and commercial establishments.

Timely communication from the authorities will be essential to help residents plan around construction activity and understand how the project will affect their neighbourhood.

MAUK News will continue to follow developments in Hyderabad’s Old City road-expansion projects and report verified updates as further official information becomes available.

Editorial note: This report is based on publicly available GHMC-related project and tender records. The latest physical status of the Jabbad Hotel–Shaik Faiz Kaman section requires confirmation from the concerned authorities.
