The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) is preparing to set up a 100-acre truck park in Shamshabad to boost industrial activities. The HMDA is actively developing logistics parks with advanced infrastructure across various locations. Currently, logistics parks are maintained at Batasingaram and Mangalpally, while new parks in Patancheru and Lakdaram are being developed. To further this endeavor, the HMDA has designated 100 acres of land in Shamshabad for the establishment of a truck park.
Recent reports indicate a notable 35 percent increase in air cargo traffic during the 2020-21 period. To address the growing demands of the sector, the HMDA is actively exploring potential locations for a large-scale logistics park along the Hyderabad-Bangalore National Highway. Consequently, the HMDA is in the process of identifying an appropriate site for this purpose. Through a special government initiative, the authority aims to boost the sector by not only providing ample space but also essential infrastructure.
Shamshabad is an ideal site for truck parking facilities, with its convenient location for cargo transportation between the Hyderabad-Bangalore National Highway and the Outer Ring Road. The HMDA recently invited tenders for the construction of fencing around the designated truck park site, with an estimated cost of Rs. 82.14 lakhs. Once the development works have been finalized, they will commence promptly, further propelling the progress of this crucial project.
In a bid to encourage private participation, the authority is undertaking measures to develop roads and other essential infrastructure in these areas. This project is an important step forward for the HMDA in their efforts to bolster industrial activities throughout the region.
