Question 1

Is it safe to buy land adjacent to the Khammam Vijayawada Expressway?

Only if the survey number falls outside the notified 3(A) acquisition band. Confirm this against the NH-163G DPR alignment.

All three packages for the 89.43 km Khammam-Vijayawada greenfield section were awarded in April 2023 to DRA Infra and MEIL. Physical construction progress varies by package, with land acquisition delays reported in Khammam district as late as July 2024. All three packages are being executed under HAM (Hybrid Annuity Model).

Question 5

What documents must I verify before buying land near this expressway corridor?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

When is the Khammam Vijayawada Expressway expected to be operational?

The broader Nagpur-Vijayawada Economic Corridor targets completion by 2027. The Khammam-Vijayawada section faces land acquisition delays, making the exact opening date for this stretch uncertain as of mid-2025.

Question 7

Can land near the Jakkampudi interchange be developed?

Accepted Answer

Jakkampudi lies on NH-16, where the new NH-163G terminates. Land outside the acquisition band here may qualify for commercial or mixed-use development subject to APCRDA or VGTM zoning rules.
