Chevella Road is the Hyderabad to Bijapur part of NH-163 on the city's south-west side. It starts near Kismatpur and crosses the Outer Ring Road at Appa Junction. From there, it runs west through Moinabad and Chevella towards Manneguda. The road links busy home markets near the IT belt with farmland, resorts and new plot layouts further out.

The corridor is now going through its biggest change in decades, and buyers have noticed. Crews are now widening the 46 km stretch from Appa Junction to Manneguda into four lanes. If you plan to buy a home or plot here, this guide will help you decide. It covers the route, travel times, road works, prices, schools and eight key updates for 2026.

Where Does Chevella Road Run? Route and Key Stops

Chevella Road changes character every few kilometres, so it helps to read it in stretches. The inner part behaves like a city suburb, while the outer part still feels semi-rural.

StretchWhat You Find ThereBest Suited For
Bandlaguda Jagir to KismatpurGated apartment projects, villas, schools and quick access to the ORREnd users working in the Financial District or Gachibowli
Himayat Sagar and Appa JunctionORR interchange, lake views and the start of the widening projectBuyers who want ORR access with more open space
MoinabadFarmhouses, resorts, colleges and the Chilkur Balaji temple beltWeekend homes and plot investors
Chevella townMandal headquarters, markets and the famous banyan avenueLong-term land investors
Manneguda and beyondFarmland heading towards VikarabadAgricultural land and very long-term bets

For most homebuyers, the first two stretches matter the most. They sit inside or right next to the ORR, which keeps daily office travel short and predictable.

Connectivity From the Inner Chevella Road Belt

The inner Chevella Road belt around Kismatpur sits on the inner edge of the ORR. That position gives you short drives to the western job hubs without living in their traffic. The distances below are approximate and measured from Kismatpur.

DestinationApproximate Distance
Kismatpur Railway Station1 km
Proposed Hyderabad Metro station2 km
Outer Ring Road3.5 km
Financial District4 km (about 10 minutes)
Neopolis SEZ, Kokapet4 km
Gachibowli IT hub5 km (about 12 minutes)
Budvel Railway Station7 km
HITEC City10 km
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport22 km

Rail access is the hidden strength of this belt. Few homes this close to the Financial District have a suburban railway station within walking distance. Appa Junction on the ORR gives you a clear run to the airport, away from old city traffic.

NH-163 Widening: What Is Changing on Chevella Road

Planners first drew up the Appa Junction to Manneguda widening back in 2013. Court cases over the old banyan trees delayed it for years. Work picked up pace in 2025, and it is now one of the busiest road jobs near Hyderabad.

Project ElementKey Facts
Length and lanes46 km, upgraded from about 7 metres of two-lane road to four lanes
CostAbout ₹900 crore sanctioned by the road transport ministry
Moinabad bypassAbout 4.8 km long and 60 metres wide
Chevella bypassAbout 6 km long, from Kesaram towards Ibrahimpally
Safety worksVehicle underpasses and light vehicle underpasses at busy crossings
Banyan plan765 of 915 banyans stay untouched and about 150 move within the road corridor
Work scheduleCrews work in two shifts round the clock

Road safety is the main reason the state wants this work done fast. The narrow road has over 150 sharp curves and saw at least 280 deaths from 2018 to 2024. A crash near Mirjaguda in November 2025 killed 19 people and pushed the state to move faster.

The banyan story also shaped the final design. The National Green Tribunal backed a new alignment that bends the road around the historic tree avenue. It also set up an independent committee to watch over the work and the moved trees.

Other Projects That Lift the Corridor

The four-laning is only one part of a larger push across this side of the city. These projects also add value to Chevella Road over the next few years.

  • The Bandlaguda Jagir to Kismatpur road will grow from about 30 feet to 100 feet for ₹161 crore.
  • The southern half of the Regional Ring Road passes through Chevella and Shankarpally on its planned route.
  • The state has picked 1,500 acres at Aloor village in Chevella mandal for a proposed data centre city.
  • The Hyderabad Metro Phase 2 plan now sits with the Centre and aims to reach new growth areas.

Schools, Hospitals and Daily Life

Families on the inner Chevella Road belt have a good set of schools close by. Rock High School and T.I.M.E. School are about 2 km from Kismatpur, with DPS Kokapet 3 km away. CHIREC International School and Oakridge International School sit within a 4 to 5 km band.

On weekends, you can visit Himayat Sagar and Osman Sagar, two old lakes that once fed the city. The Chilkur Balaji temple, farm stays and resorts around Moinabad are also an easy drive away. This mix of city access and open green space sets the corridor apart from the crowded IT suburbs.

A Premium High-Rise Option on Inner Chevella Road

The inner Chevella Road belt is now drawing national developers, and SOBHA Limited is among the first. Its pre-launch project Sobha Amara at Kismatpur plans 816 homes in two towers of G+56 floors each. That height will make it one of the tallest residential projects on this corridor.

The project fits the buyer this belt attracts best. Kismatpur railway station is about 1 km away, and the ORR is about 3.5 km away. The Financial District is roughly a 10 minute drive. By the 2029 handover, the four-lane Chevella Road and the wider Kismatpur road should both be ready.
