The HMDA on Tuesday proposed a budget of Rs. 3,772 crore
for the year 2013-14, a rise of around Rs.800 crore from the previous
year.
Around Rs.1,131 crore has been earmarked for
new projects, including Rs. 300 crore for the proposed Regional Ring
Road and another Rs.150 crore towards protection and development of
lakes.
New projects for which funds are sought to be
allotted, include the site services at Jawaharnagar, the inter-city Bus
Terminal at Miyapur, Transit-Oriented Development at Moosapet and
Saroornagar. Logistic Hubs at Mangalapally and Batasingaram, apart from
the much-delayed rail-over bridge (RoB) at Sanjeevaiah Park too find a
mention among the new projects.
The budget estimates
also include revenue receipts to the tune of Rs. 885 crore, while
capital receipts has been pegged at Rs. 2,887 crore.
Another
major component of the revenue receipt — around Rs. 313 crore — will
come from development charges, processing fee and other charges. The
HMDA has put government grants at Rs.1,998 crore as against last year’s
Rs.1,220 crore and raising Rs.159 crore from the auction of bulk lands.
The
Outer Ring Road (ORR) project has been provided with Rs.1,551 crore and
the Hussainsagar Lake and Catchment Area Improvement Project has been
put at Rs.101 crore.
