Of the total budget of Rs 1,13,660 crore, the Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) got Rs 3,261 cr out of which the major wings like the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) and the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) together could not get even Rs 1,000 crore .

These departments, in view of the inadequate allocations, have to put on hold several major projects on hand .

With no major allocation, the GHMC is the worst-hit. It got petty sanctions like Rs 50 lakh for construction of a bridge at Bapu Ghat across the Musi and Rs 1 crore for the Charminar Pedestrianisation Project (CPP) .

There was no mention of implementation of Multi Modal Transportation System (MMTS) Phase-II, remodelling of storm water drains, housing scheme for poor and other proposed projects .

Same is the case with the cashstrapped HMDA which got Rs 445 cr .

Budgetary allocations had been made towards State component for several major schemes under implementation by the HMDA. The Rs 370-crore Hussainsagar Lake and Catchment Area Improvement Project, funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to the extent of Rs 310 cr, got over Rs 60 crore in the budget under three different heads (Rs 46.32 cr, Rs 9.72 cr and Rs 3.96 cr) .

A loan provision of Rs 385 crore for the ongoing Outer Ring Road (ORR) project had also been made .

The Water Board got budgetary allocations to the tune of Rs 425 cr for implementing water and sewerage projects in the GHMC limits. A loan component of Rs 250 cr for the Godavari Drinking Water Supply scheme to the twin cities had been made. While Rs 150 cr had been earmarked for implementing sewerage master plan, Rs 1 cr had been allocated for remodelling of existing sewerage system works .

An assistance of Rs 50 cr for strengthening the water supply network in the GHMC limits and another Rs 37 cr grant-in-aid for improvement of water supply in slum areas had been earmarked while Rs 3.98 cr had been allocated for control of pollution and conservation of the Musi. Under Nonplan scheme it is going to get Rs 25 cr .

A grant-in-aid of Rs 4 crore had been made to Quli Qutub Shah Urban Development Authority (QQSUDA).
