The road digging works will be performed at a cost of around Rs. 1900 crores to lay water distribution pipelines of 2,500 km in the Greater Hyderabad limits. While Housing and Urban Development Corporation Limited (HUDCO) has sanctioned Rs 1,700 crore as a loan, the state government shares the balance Rs 200 crores. Construction of service reservoirs and providing feeder mains as inlet mains are the other inclusions of the project.
