Warangal - Khammam Expressway map

Overview

The Warangal Khammam Expressway is the 119 km four-laning of the Warangal-Khammam section of NH-563, including a Warangal bypass that connects NH-563 with NH-163. It is the southern leg of the 248.83 km NH-563 corridor running Jagtial-Karimnagar-Warangal-Khammam entirely within Telangana. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) invited tenders for DPR consultancy, with the parallel Karimnagar-Warangal section (67.6 km) sanctioned at Rs 2,146.86 crore and under construction by Dilip Buildcon Ltd. The Warangal-Khammam stretch crosses Hanumakonda, Warangal, Mahabubabad, and Khammam districts. This page plots the alignment as published in NHAI (National Highways Authority of India) documents.

Regulatory Red Flags Around 3A/3D Notifications and Dharani Pattadar Mismatches

Land acquisition Section 3A 3D notifications under the National Highways Act 1956 are the only legal trigger that fixes a parcel inside the alignment. Anything sold to you on the basis of a "DPR map" or a "proposed alignment" without 3A/3D publication offers no compensation entitlement. Telangana adds a specific layer: every land transaction must reflect on the Dharani portal's ROR-IB. If the seller's pattadar passbook is not updated post-mutation, the NHAI award will go to the registered Dharani owner of record, not to you.

The Telangana-specific trap is the Warangal bypass NH-163 connector alignment. Because the bypass connects two national highways at a junction, broker sales are clustered in 8-10 villages around Hanumakonda and Khila Warangal where the bypass is rumoured to land. Most of these parcels have no published 3A notification yet. Verify the survey number on Bhoomi Rashi portal before signing. If the pattadar passbook on Dharani does not match the seller's name on the agreement, walk away.

Growth Corridors From Warangal to Khammam Across the Mahabubabad Belt

The expressway is a 119 km access-controlled four-lane highway upgrade from Warangal to Khammam, with a separate Warangal bypass adding the NH-163 link. The route passes Narsampet, Mahabubabad, and Maripeda before approaching Khammam near the Godavari basin. Demand is concentrated within 2-5 km of proposed interchanges, with Mahabubabad and Maripeda becoming the new speculative belt under Bharatmala Pariyojana Telangana plans.

The most misunderstood corridor is the Narsampet Mahabubabad Maripeda corridor. Buyers see four-laning brochures and assume blanket appreciation. Mahabubabad has a significant scheduled tribe population, and parcels in tribal sub-plan villages are restricted to non-tribal buyers under Andhra Pradesh Land Transfer Regulation 1 of 70 (which Telangana inherited) in agency areas. The Warangal-Khammam alignment passes the edge of ITDA (Integrated Tribal Development Agency) Eturnagaram jurisdiction. If the seller cannot produce a non-agency certificate from the MRO (Mandal Revenue Officer), the sale agreement is unenforceable regardless of price.
