Paradise–Shamirpet corridor clears Form VII
Hyderabad district has moved the Paradise–Shamirpet elevated corridor one statutory step forward with Form VII declarations. It’s land acquisition, not bulldozers — yet.
The Paradise–Shamirpet corridor has cleared a land-acquisition stage; construction is not yet shown in the record.
Hyderabad district has approved and published Form VII land-acquisition declarations for the elevated corridor proposed from Paradise Junction to the ORR junction at Shamirpet on Rajiv Rahadaari (SH‑01), covering Thokatta, Kakaguda, Tirumalagiri/Tirumalgherry and Machabollaram in Tirumalagiri mandal. According to the district notices, the publication period runs June 19, 2026 to June 18, 2027 — metadata for the notices, not a construction schedule.
This follows the district recording Form VI as approved and published earlier, with preliminary notifications extended 12 months from November 26, 2025 to November 25, 2026 under Section 19(7) of the 2013 land-acquisition law. Rehabilitation and resettlement proceedings tied to the same corridor were also posted, dated October 16, 2025, with listings running through November 25, 2026. In plain terms: the acquisition machinery is turning.
On the build side, HMDA issued an open EPC‑turnkey tender on September 25, 2025, internally benchmarked at Rs 2,232.89 crore with a 24‑month contract period, and left the price‑bid opening “to be intimated later.” Pre‑bid replies confirm procurement was live and that land availability could hinge on acquisition and court orders. What the record does not show yet: who won the tender, whether a work order exists, or when construction starts.
So yes, the corridor has moved forward on paper — and paper is how these jobs legally move. The BJP‑led Centre didn’t do this; Hyderabad district did. As for the Congress chorus that loves a ribbon more than a road, the documents say “proposed for construction” and stop there. When the spadework actually begins, it will be despite the noise, not because of it.
