Question 1

What is the current status of the Amroor-Jagitial-Mancherial Expressway land buying process?

Accepted Answer

Land acquisition is active but legally stalled. The Telangana High Court reserved its verdict on farmers' objections to the third alignment and directed NHAI to halt expansion work. Construction tenders worth ₹2,530 crore were floated in January 2024 but work has not commenced.

Question 2

Why has the NH-63 alignment been changed three times in Mancherial and Jagitial?

Accepted Answer

The first alignment was dropped to avoid costly farmland. The second was abandoned because it would have demolished large sections of Jagtial, Metpalli, Koratla and Luxettipet towns. The third, through Godavari-bank farmland in Hajipur mandal, now faces farmer protests and court challenges.

Question 3

Does the High Court stay mean I am safe buying land near Hajipur or Luxettipet?

Accepted Answer

No. The stay halts NHAI work; it does not change the notified acquisition strip. If your survey number falls inside the third alignment, it remains subject to acquisition once the court rules. Verify the gazette notification before any purchase. Use 1acre's Premium map layer (https://1acre.in/subscribe) to overlay the third alignment boundary on your survey number before transacting.

Question 4

Is NALA conversion required for agricultural land near the Jagitial-Mancherial highway?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under the Telangana NALA Act of 1963, all agricultural land requires prior conversion permission before residential, commercial or industrial use. In non-GHMC areas like Mancherial and Jagitial, the conversion tax is 9% of the basic value, applied through a MeeSeva (Telangana's government services portal) application.

Question 5

How is compensation calculated for land acquired for NH-63 in Telangana?

Accepted Answer

Compensation under the National Highways Act is based on market value at the time of the Section 3A notification, factoring in the last three years' sale value and NALA status. Farmers can appeal for enhanced compensation through arbitration under Section 3G.

Question 6

Which villages near Mancherial are inside the current NH-63 acquisition boundary?

Accepted Answer

Under the third alignment: Gudem, Gampalapalli, Thimmapur and Pothepalli in Luxettipet mandal, villages in Dandepalli mandal, and Mulkalla, Rangapet and Vempalli in Hajipur mandal. In Nizamabad district, bypass roads affect Padigel, Anksapur, Kukunoor, Morthad and Kammarpally.

Question 7

Can NRIs buy agricultural land near the Mancherial or Jagitial corridor?

Accepted Answer

No. NRIs cannot purchase agricultural land in Telangana without specific permissions. If the land holds a completed NALA conversion order and is recorded as non-agricultural in revenue records, that restriction does not apply to the specific parcel.

Question 8

Is investing in land near Mancherial a good decision given the ongoing court cases?

Accepted Answer

Only outside the active acquisition strip and with confirmed NALA conversion status. Mancherial district is growing, with Naspur, Hajipur and the area around the TSGENCO thermal plant generating real demand. Any plot inside the litigation zone carries unresolvable title risk until the High Court rules.
