The Rs.311-crore Uppal junction grade separator-cum-flyover project has achieved 30.886% physical progress. The 1,436.18-metre flyover is being constructed along the Ramanthapur–Warangal Highway route to ease traffic congestion at Uppal junction. The project requires 0.76 acre of Survey of India land; authorities have initiated the process for issuing Transferable Development Rights (TDR). Land acquisition is continuing for nine properties, including assets belonging to TGIIC, on the Ramanthapur side. Four property owners have applied for TDR.

Traffic diversions from the ongoing Uppal–Narapally elevated corridor works are spilling into colony roads and residential lanes around Uppal X roads and surrounding areas.

Commute times have increased substantially: a journey from Uppal to Boduppal that took five minutes now takes 15 minutes. A commuter from Ramanthapur to Turkayamjal reported heavy traffic at 6 a.m., taking over 10 minutes to cross a stretch normally taking four or five minutes.

Three-way diversion system in operation: Survey of India road towards Beerappagadda lane carries 50–60% of diverted traffic; Uppal Bhagayath and Nalla Cheruvu road is another route; Habsiguda–Nacharam–NFC corridor is being used by navigation app users.

Worst-affected stretches: Raghavendra Colony Road, Laxma Reddy Colony Road, old Sub-Registrar office lane, and Beerappagadda road, with congestion extending into late evenings.

Business impact: Walk-in customers have dropped noticeably. A mobile phone store on Boduppal Main Road reported customers avoiding the stretch, with journey times from Boduppal to Uppal increasing from five minutes to 15 minutes.

Parking issues: Residents parking hurriedly along roadsides to save time before catching the Metro, choking narrow bylanes. Evening hours see additional 10–15 minutes of traffic delays.

Traffic Inspector G. Nagaraju stated the authorised diversion adds approximately 0.5 km and 2–3 minutes of travel time, but some commuters are driving in opposite direction attempting to save time, causing temporary choke points.

Industrial associations in Hyderabad have reservations about the directive to move units outside the Outer Ring Road (ORR). Uppal Industrial Area representatives have asked the government to reduce conversion charges. Jeedimetla Industrial Area representatives want the government to allocate land and develop industrial zones between the ORR and Regional Ring Road (RRR), even without subsidies. Associations also seek revised market values for existing industrial-estate land after relocation, to ease owners’ financial burden and help them sell land for multi-use purposes, particularly residential colonies in central Hyderabad. Representatives have asked authorities to discuss the HILT Policy with all industrial associations within the ORR to speed up its implementation.
