    1.3 Morphology of Warangal Municipal Corporation (WMC) Area

    Warangal Municipal Corporation (WMC) is a tri-city comprising of the areas of

    Kazipet , Hanamkonda and Warangal. While Kazipet is the railway center with the

    location of the locomotive sheds, Hanamkonda is the central part of the tri-city

    with predominantly educational institutions and the new residential and

    commercial areas developing around it. Warangal is the oldest of the three, with

    predominantly wholesale business and commerce activities and the historic

    Warangal fort in its midst.

    The current trend is that Hanamkonda, the central part is emerging as a premier

    destination of specialized medical, health and multi-specialty hospital services

    along with modern shopping malls and complexes for the vast hinterland with

    concentration of these around the new city and suburban bus station. The limits

    of Warangal Municipal Corporation encompass this tri-city and presently

    admeasures about 80 sq km. This tri-city is linear in structure and lies on either

    side of the major transport corridor by way of the Hyderabad National Highway

    (NH-202) forming the central spine and is connected by roads and railways to all

    parts of the country. Due to its proximity to Hyderabad (134 km), the area is

    important especially around the NH -202 corridor in its south western part. The

    city is the headquarters of the Warangal district and is the oldest Municipal

    Corporation in the Telangana region. The city is well known for its educational

    and institutional facilities. It is also one of the biggest centers of trade in rice and

    cotton in the region.

    1.4 Non-Municipal area of KUDA area

    The area covered by the non-municipal area of Kakatiya (Warangal)

    Development Area is basically rural in character and dependent on agriculture

    and allied activities. However, as growth trends show, many of the Revenue

    villages surrounding the Warangal Municipal Corporation are showing signs of

    rapid development in view of the private land availability. Besides this, a number

    of skilled craftsmen are involved in handicrafts and metal works in the villages in

    this region. The present trend is location of numerous engineering college

    campuses like KITS, Vagdevi Group of institutions, SR Engineering College,

    etc.outside the WMC area especially along the Karimnagar State Highway.

    1.5 Brief Historical Background

    The origin of Warangal dates back to the Buddhist and the pre- Buddhist periods

    of Indian history. In 8th Century A.D., Warangal (or Orukal) then served as the

    main centre of activities of the Yadava king, Tuluva in the Telangana region. From

    middle of the 12th Century for almost two hundred years, this area was ruled by

    the Kakatiyas making Warangal as their capital city.

    The three stages of significant historical developments in this region are:

    1. Kakatiya Period (1260 - 1422 A.D.)

    The Kakatiyas ruled over a small territory near the area which is the present

    existing Warangal City. The administration of the kingdom was organized with

    emphasis on military, safety and protection. There were ramparts or burj towards

    the outer limits of the kingdom like Hasanparthi, Prembarthi, Kondaparthi,

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e7

    Kaniparthi, etc. On the other hand, the Kakatiya dynasty expressed itself best

    through promotion of religious art and culture and architecture like the

    Thousand Pillared Temple at Hanamkonda, the large Shiv Temple complex at

    Innole (V), etc.

    2. Mughal Transition Period (1422 - 1725 A.D.)

    The disastrous fall of the Kakatiya kingdom at the hands of the Muslims during

    the 14th Century brought in the Muslim era of rulership to this region. An

    independent Muslim kingdom under the Bahamani dynasty was established in

    South India by Allah-ud-din Hasan Gangu by revolting and separating from the

    Delhi Sultanate. Similarly in the neighbouring Hyderabad, the Qutb Shahi dynasty

    became a separate kingdom until the conquest and annexation by the Mughals

    under Aurangzeb. Warangal and its surroundings too came under the Mughal rule

    in this period, with a governor overseeing the affairs of this region called Deccan.

    3. Asif Jahi (Nizam) Period (1725 - 1948 A.D.)

    In 1722, the Governor of Deccan, Nizam-ul-Mulk, Asif Jah, declared independence

    from the separating from the Mughal empire, and this dynasty ruled till 1748.This

    was followed by a long line of Nizams and buying peace with the British Empire by

    way of numerous treaties, till India became independent in 1947, whereupon and

    subsequently, this region became part of the newly constituted Andhra Pradesh

    State.

    1.6 Brief review of the Warangal City Revised Master Plan - 1971-91

    A Master Plan for Warangal Town was first prepared and notified in 26-10-1949.

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e8

    This Plan was revised in 1961.Subsequently, the Master Plan was again revised

    by the Director of Town Planning, Government of Andhra Pradesh in 1971 for the

    period of 1971-1991, covering an area of about 20732.78 acres (84 sqkm.) of

    land for a projected population of 4,21,200 in 1991. The said Revised Master

    Plan was approved and notified by the Government vide G O Ms No. 910, M.A.

    25-11-1971. (Refer Annexure III).

    The major development activities suggested in the said Revised Master Plan

    included large scale land acquisition and taking up of development schemes,

    housing schemes, slum clearance schemes, industrial area development,

    industrial housing, augmentation of public utilities and community facilities for

    the new areas, and various circulation network proposals to tackle the traffic

    problems. One of the major proposals was formation of a Bypass road (bypass to

    the Hyderabad -Warangal Highway) on north of Warangal and allied facilities.

    This Revised Master Plan could be implemented only to a limited extent mainly

    in terms of the basic circulation network in the Warangal Municipal Corporation

    area, while the proposals outside the Warangal Municipal Corporation limits by

    way of taking up various development schemes, intended large scale land

    acquisition for various projects and schemes, development of new industrial

    areas and land developments proposed have largely been remained

    unimplemented. On the other hand, and in the meantime, organic residential

    developments especially in the north and east have taken place rendering the

    Master Plan land uses and circulation ineffective.

    Development Area:

    (i) Viewing the statutory reality of the Kakatiya (Warangal Development Area ,

    the above shortcomings in ensuring planned development, there is every

    need for preparation and enforcement of Master Plan keeping in view the

    above City Revised Master Plan, the developments that have come up on

    ground despite the Master Plan, the ground realities, and the changing

    scenario.

    (ii) Section 6 of the AP Urban Areas (Development) Act,1975 mandates the

    KUDA to undertake preparation of the Master Plan for the Kakatiya

    Development Area, viz.

    The Authority shall as soon as may be, carry out a civic survey and prepare a

    Master Plan for the development area concerned.

    The Master Plan shall

    (a) define the various zones into which the development area may be divided for

    the purposes of development and indicate the manner in which the land in each

    zone is proposed to be used (either after carrying out development thereon or

    otherwise) and the stages by which any such development shall be carried out;

    and

    (b) serve as a basic pattern of framework within which the zonal development

    plans of the various zones may be prepared.

    (iii) A Master Plan is thus a long-term perspective plan for guiding the growth

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    and development of the prime city and its hinterland delineated as Kakatiya

    Development Area by the Government. It envisages and elaborates along

    with narrations, maps/ plans, a broad concept of development. The Master

    plan lays down allocation of land between various competing uses keeping

    in view the space requirements in future.

    (iv) Thus, this Master Plan is an important framework and pre-requisite for

    promoting and ensuring balanced and sustained growth of the prime city of

    Warangal and its urban spread (which includes the proposed Greater

    Warangal Municipal Corporation Area), keeping in view the growth trends

    and form and structure of the prime city.

    (v) The earlier Warangal City Revised Master Plan lays the foundation for this

    present Master Plan covering Warangal and its urban spread.

    This Master Plan is with plan period upto 2031 and is for the total Kakatiya

    Development Area (KUDA area) of 1805 sq. km and is prepared as required

    under the said Andhra Pradesh Urban Areas (Development) Act,1975 and as

    per the instructions of the Government and advise of DTCP. (Refer

    Annexure-IV)

    DEMOGRAPHY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TRENDS

    2.0 Scope of this Master Plan:

    This Master Pan undertaken as per the above-mentioned section 6 of the Andhra

    Pradesh Urban Areas (Development) Act,1975 , is a basic plan that gives a

    framework for all future development. Therefore, this Master Plan consists of:

    1 A broad land development map

    2 Primary and Secondary Circulation network

    3 Development Promotion Stipulations

    based on which, further detailing by way of

    1 implementation strategies,

    2 Zonal Development Plans,

    3 specific projects housing strategy, tourism development, central area/

    special area development, etc

    4 open space development and environmental conservation, R & R,

    5 industrial promotion and development,

    6 augmentation and extension of physical infrastructure facilities like water

    supply, drainage and sewerage, electricity and communications

    is required under the said Act to be undertaken by the various functional

    agencies and service providers.

    Hence these aspects are not detailed out in this Master Plan. For further

    detailing out of the same, 18 Planning Zones have been delineated accordingly,

    and suggested in the Master Plan in Section 3.10. and separate Zonal

    development Plans are separately required to be undertaken by KUDA as

    mandated under Section 7 of the A P Urban Areas (Development ) Act,1975.

    2.1 Population Growth:

    1. Warangal City

    The total population of Warangal city was 5.3 lakhs in 2001 which increased to

    6.3 lakhs in 2011, registering a decadal growth of about 19 %. The growth rate

    of the city is thus average.

    The existing average population density in Warangal city is highest in the

    Warangal old city core and Hanamkonda with about 263 persons per Ha, while

    rest of the city is below 110 persons per ha.

    The average literacy rate of Warangal City is about 73.7 percent and the average

    sex ratio is 968 females per thousand males, which is comparable with other 2-

    tier cities of the State, and indicates a steady urbanization trend in this region.

    The population share of Warangal City is about 48.42 % of the total population

    of the Kakatiya Development area. This shows that the immediate villages

    surrounding Warangal are growing at a modest rate.

    2.2 Urban Spread (Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation area):

    In view of the above modest growth trends of the surroundings, the Warangal

    Municipal Corporation has undertaken a detailed study for delineation of the

    urban spread area of Warangal based on development trends, for the purposes

    of extending the limits of the present Municipal Corporation limits (which is

    under active consideration of the Government). It covers an area of about 513

    sq km including the present Corporation limits of about 80 sq km. It is larger

    than the Census urban agglomeration area of about 200 sq km. The population

    of this urban spread as per 2001 Census was 7,33,278 while it was 8,75,242 as

    per 2011 Census, registering a decadal growth of 19.36 %. The share of urban

    spread is about 67.30 % of the total population of the Kakatiya Development

    area.

    (A) Existing land use in Warangal Municipal Corporation Area:

    As stated above, the urban spread of Warangal and the Kakatiya Development

    Area, is by and large rural in character and the uninhabited lands in the entire

    KDA area is very large.

    Barren land occupies the maximum of 28.10%, followed by agriculture land,

    24.02 %, fallow land, 16.12% and scrub, 18.94% (both dense and open). Water

    bodies comprising of tanks/ ponds, rivers, canals etc. is 5.32% (96.02 sq km).

    Forest land, mostly under reserved forests and hills occupies 0.87% (15.72 sq km).

    Land under residential use is only 5.95% (107.40 sq km). All together, developed

    land use is around 35% (630 sq km).

    CHAPTER -3

    MASTER PLAN PROPOSALS

    3.1 VISION FOR WARNAGAL CITY & KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA:

    3.1.1 This Master Plan envisages Warangal City and the urban spread to maintain

    marked increase in growth and continue to be the second largest urban

    agglomeration after Hyderabad, that would be chanellised in the Warangal

    urban spread and the 7 growth centers (Mandal Headquarters );

    3.1.2 These would be promoted and developed in a planned manner and the

    urban agglomeration would mature in terms of new urban activities that

    would facilitate employment in services and manufacturing sectors. By the

    end of the Plan period more than 50,000 employment in manufacturing and

    1,50,000 employment in services sector is expected.

    3.1.3 To make the above happen, the Master Plan has besides opening up the

    new areas of the urban spread for major new residential activities has

    proposed the following major employment generating activities:

    (a) Striving to develop the Wagon Workshop at Kazipet;

    (b) Striving to set up similar anchor manufacturing units around Warangal

    that would have multiplier effect on the economy of Warangal and

    surroundings;

    (c) Expansion of the Enumamula Agriculture market with accessory support

    activities like Truck Terminal, etc;

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e24

    (d) New industrial area proposals at Rampur,Madikonda,Geesugonda and along

    the Narsampet Highway;

    (e ) New Logistics Hub at Hasanparthi under PPP;

    (f) Promoting agro-based industries like seeds processing units, cold storage

    units, godowns, food-processing units, granite polishing units, etc in

    Agriculture Zone;

    (g) Promoting self-contained educational and institutional campuses in all zones

    (Except Open space & Heritage zone);

    (h) Promoting self-contained townships in all zones (Except Open space &

    Heritage zone);

    (i) Encouraging Corridor type planned development along major roads of

    Warangal and urban spread as Multiple Use Zone and promoting transit-

    oriented development along these corridors which would be developed as

    mass transit corridors and dictate the future mobility of the population.

    (j) Encouraging redevelopment and urban renewal in the existing historic

    settlement areas of Warangal and Hanamkonda, preserving the traditional

    occupational structure, wholesale trade and commerce, etc.

    (h) Development of the Airport at Warangal;

    (i) Development of Kazipet and Warangal Railway Stations as major commuter

    hubs;

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e25

    (j) Taking up development of the 7 Growth Centers (Mandal Headquarters) on

    priority and by promoting various economic and development activities

    3.2 FUTURE GROWTH DIRECTIONS:

    1st priority growth Direction: (Very strong) In the West along the Warangal-

    Hyderabad National Highway from Hanamkonda junction till the limits of

    Kakatiya Development Area encouraging Multiple Use and manufacturing

    activities especially expansion of Madikonda and Rampur areas ;

    2nd priority growth direction: (Strong) in the east along the National Highway

    upto Atmakur-encouraging Multiple Use and new proposed Truck Terminal

    at Kothapet and support storage and agriculture/food product activities;

    3rd priority growth direction: (Moderate) Along the Karimnagar Highway upto

    Elkathurthi Mandal headquarters-mostly encouraging educational and

    institutional developments

    4th priority growth direction (Weak) Along the Khammam Highway upto KUDA

    limits encouraging townships and Truck terminal and transportation

    related activities.

    3.3 Viewing the above trend of developments, the existing structure of Warangal

    City and surroundings, the existing land use and circulation network that

    have developed mostly organically, and the necessity for ensuring the above

    envisaged planned development, this Master Plan only outlines the basic

    development strategy based on the following:

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e26

    (a) Warangal city and surrounding areas by way of urban spread would be a

    compact urban agglomeration, with the Hyderabad National Highway

    central to the urban spread and continue to be acting as the central spine of

    major and higher order developments of the Development Area;

    (b) The remaining areas of Kakatiya Development Area would continue to

    exhibit rural character and be predominantly have agricultural activities.

    (c) Warangal agglomeration in particular and the KUDA Area in general are in

    proximity of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Region, and thus the impact of

    Hyderabad and its surroundings would continue to influence the

    developments and growth direction of KUDA Area. In the regional context,

    Warangal and KUDA Area can be termed and developed as a counter-

    magnet to Hyderabad Metropolitan Region given the proximity and the

    strong transportation linkages between the two. The Committee on

    decongestion of Hyderabad constituted vide G O Ms No.270 M.A. dated 7-

    3-1994 and headed by the Chief Secretary to Government had suggested

    for planned dispersal of population and decentralization of economic

    activities in the surrounding district towns like Warangal, Mehboobnagar,

    Nizamabad, Zaheerabad, Karimnagar, etc. The Master Plan takes into

    account this regional location and has factored the same by way of making

    provisions for encouraging new residential activities and some of the

    emerging employment potentialities by way of Information Technology

    enabled Services (ITES) towards both sides i.e., the north and south of the

    National Highway No.163 in the KUDA Master Plan ;

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e27

    (d) This is an all-out pro-development plan, keeping the vast development

    potential of Warangal and its urban spread in view. Hence, instead of

    proposing a rigid and mono-characteristic land uses, and plot specific /site

    specific land use and zoning, a broad range and spectrum of development

    uses and activities are proposed in not only in the urban spread but also in

    the Agriculture Zone albeit, in a scaled down manner.

    (e) This Master Plan proposes a strong and definite structure by way of a grid

    type circulation network which would be to not only ensure hierarchy of

    development activities and ensure smooth and efficient movement but also

    serve the other infrastructure network for water supply, drainage,

    sewerage, electricity and communications.

    (f) The first order development proposals are confined to the main Warangal

    city and its urban spread comprising of the 50 adjoining villages as given in

    the Table No.2.

    (f) Activities in rest of the Development Area:

    Apart from the main and predominant agriculture and allied activities, certain

    support activities are allowed in this Agriculture Use Zone the details of which

    are given in the Section on Development Promotion Stipulations.

    3.4 Master Plan Strategy:

    Viewing-

    (i) the trend of developments,

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e28

    (ii) the existing structure of Warangal City and its surroundings,

    (iii) the existing land use and circulation network that have developed

    mostly organically,

    (iv) the decision to delimit the present Municipal Corporation into Greater

    Warangal Municipal Corporation encompassing a large area of about

    512 sq km.,

    (v) and the necessity for ensuring planned development,

    - this Master Plan outlines a basic development strategy, based on the

    above trends and Vision for the Kakatiya Development Area in general and

    Warangal urban spread in particular.

    - Warangal city and surrounding areas by way of urban spread covering the

    proposed Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation, would be a compact

    urban agglomeration, with the Hyderabad National Highway central to the

    urban spread and continue to be acting as the central spine of major and

    higher order developments of the Development Area;

    - The remaining areas of Kakatiya Development Area would continue to

    exhibit rural character and be predominantly having agricultural activities.

    3.4.1 This is an all-out pro-development plan, keeping the vast development

    potential of Warangal and its urban spread in view. Hence, instead of

    proposing a rigid and mono-characteristic land uses, and plot specific /site

    specific land use and zoning, a broad range and spectrum of development

    uses and activities are proposed in not only in the urban spread but also in

    the Agriculture Zone albeit, in a scaled down manner.

    3.4.2 Making proper utilization of the Government Lands located within KUDA

    Area:

    Out of the total available government lands, about 5000 acres located in

    conducive and strategic locations are identified and proposed to be utilized for

    development of-

    (a) area-level parks and playgrounds,

    b) lake-front development and environment conservation,

    (c ) Special Projects and Land bank repository in KUDA,

    (d) sites for public utilities and facilities and

    (e) for important Work centers and future industrialization.

    This task of facilitation and planned development through Projectisation of the

    above, is to be undertaken by the Master Plan Steering Committee, headed by

    the Collector, Warangal.

    3.4.3 Activities in rest of the Development Area:

    Apart from the main and predominant agriculture and allied activities, certain

    support activities that are important to the development of the Kakatiya

    Development Area are allowed in this Agriculture Use Zone the details of which

    are given in the Section on Development Promotion Stipulations.

    3.5 Overall Circulation Pattern:

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e30

    This Master Plan proposes a strong and definite structure by way of a grid type

    circulation network which would be to not only ensure hierarchy of development

    activities and ensure smooth and efficient movement but also serve the other

    public utilities and infrastructure network for water supply, drainage, sewerage,

    electricity and communications.

    The first order development proposals are confined to the main Warangal city

    and its urban spread covering the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation and

    as given in the Table No. 2.

    3.5.1 Keeping in view the Circulation pattern suggested in the Master Plan of

    1971, the existing road pattern, the trend of developments and the propensity

    for future growth and direction of growth, the Circulation pattern in this Master

    Plan 2031 has been suggested, basically in grid pattern format that can be go on

    being extended further in the Kakatiya Development area in future.

    Apart from the above, there is a National Highway Bypass alignment being

    undertaken by the Roads and Buildings Department towards the North of

    Warangal City which takes off from the National Highway No. 163 (Warangal-

    Hyderabad Highway) from Rampur (V) on the west and passes through

    Dharamsagaram (V), Devanna Peta (V),Chinta gattu(V),Vangapadu(V) and joins

    the said National Highway of Mulugu stretch at Arepalle (V).

    3.5.2 The structure of Warangal urban spread has become radial concentric with

    Hanamkonda as the nucleus of development and the following highways and

    main roads radiating out, viz.

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e31

    1 Warangal Karimnagar State Highway;

    2 Warangal-Hasanparthi Main road;

    3 National Highway to Mulugu;

    4 Warangal-Narsampet Highway;

    5 Warangal-Khammam Highway;

    6 Warangal-Zaffergadh Main Road respectively.

    This is contained through the Master Plan Northern Ring Road and eastern Ring

    road passing through before Madikonda, and along Somidi, Bhimavaram,

    Pavelupula, Paidipally, Desaipet, Gorrekunta, eastern side of Warangal Fort, and

    then meeting the Khammam highway near Rangashaipet within the WMC limits.

    Keeping the above structure in view, the Circulation pattern is integrated by

    continuing the same and extending towards the south and west of Warangal in

    this Master Plan 2031. The Circulation network consists of a well-defined grid of

    Primary Roads, Secondary Roads arterial roads, and Ring roads/ Bypass roads.

    The following are the Primary proposed network:

    3.5.3 Primary Circulation Network:

    The Primary Circulation network comprises of all existing highways, the

    proposed ring roads, loop roads, grid roads that define the various sectors and

    other major roads. These are 30 meters and above in width. These form the

    basis for the future mass transit system by way of a light rail system which is

    recommended in this Master Plan .

    3.5.4 The Secondary Network

    The secondary circulation network basically comprises of link roads and new

    roads linking the various above-mentioned Primary roads. These are numerous

    within the Warangal City limits and equally distributed in the non-municipal

    urban spread area. The Right-of-way of these Secondary roads ranges from 30

    meters to 18 meters.

    3.5.5 Existing Villages roads

    The existing village roads especially in the rest of the KUDA Area would continue

    to be serving as the network between the villages, the Mandal Headquarters and

    Warangal as well as the villages. These are forming part of the secondary network

    and are minimum 18 meters in width.

    3.5.6 Sub-arterial and feeder roads network:

    These roads network form an important component of circulation within the

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e34

    localities and colonies. These are basically at layout level and the range varies

    from 18 metres to 6 meters. These are not indicated in the Master Plan, but have

    a bearing on allowing the level of development activities in the areas which are

    more specifically given in the development promotion regulations and the revised

    common building rules, 2012.

    3.6 Mass Transit System for Warangal:

    3.6.1 MRTS for Warangal:

    This Master Plan advocates the development and operation of suitable mass

    rapid transit system (MRTS) for Warangal. All the primary roads designated in

    the Master Plan would be the mass transit corridors. However, to begin with

    the Primary roads covered within the Warangal Municipal Corporation limits

    would be required to be taken up for the route planning, etc. Since rail based

    mass transit system would be capital-intensive, in the first instance, a Bus

    Rapid Transit System (with exclusive bus lanes) may be planned and designed

    with APSRTC being responsible for the design, operations and maintenance. In

    the second phase, the mass transit system should switch over to a

    combination of BRTS and Light Rail Transit System along the Primary and

    secondary circulation system identified in the Master Plan, with the active

    cooperation of the State and Central Governments.

    3.6.2 MRTS proposal between Hyderabad and Warangal:

    Keeping in view the proximity of the Kakatiya Development area to the

    Hyderabad Metropolitan region, it is but natural that the pull factor of

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e35

    Hyderabad would be markedly increasing in times to come. The number of

    daily commuters is ever increasing. Viewing this trend, this Master Plan

    advocates the development of an exclusive and dedicated Mass Transit System

    either adjoining to the existing BG Railway line through the South Central

    railway or alternatively, between Hyderabad and Warangal along the National

    Highway No 202 under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Tramway

    Act,2008, with a 18 meters Right of way up till Ghanpur and from there the

    alignment follows adjacent to the existing Railway line towards the east and

    south of the railway line at Warangal to terminate beyond Warangal at

    Dharmaram. This proposal needs to be examined by the State Government

    since it involves Hyderabad metropolitan region and Warangal Development

    area and also the need for integrating the intra-city movement between these

    two largest urban agglomerations in the region.

    3.7 Other transportation proposals:

    The other traffic and transport proposals would flow out of the above basic

    circulation network and structure, viz.,

    A Truck Terminal has been proposed at Arepalli(V) which would be useful to

    cater to the North-bound traffic as well as the Enumamaula Agriculture

    market nearby.

    A second truck terminal has been proposed at Thimmapur (V) along the

    junction of the Ring Road and the Radial Road from Battupalli in the south.

    This would cater to the traffic coming and going to the South towards

    Khammam and beyond.

    e36

    A freight container and logistics hub at Hasanparthi next to the hasanparthi

    railway station in the north, since this has regional impact.

    Further, new and other transportation facilities that are likely to come up in

    future would be encouraged in the Master plan. These traffic and

    transportation proposals shall be part of the Master Plan implementation

    and therefore are allowed as a policy in all development use zones in the

    zoning regulations.

    3.9 Need for development of Basic Industries development for Warangal:

    Excepting for the Railway Diesel Loco Shed at Kazipet, at present, there are no

    basic industries in Warangal. Being the third largest agglomeration in the State,

    certain basic industrial activities, which are anchor industries, are required for

    Warangal to increase the industrial base. This would give rise to other support

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e38

    and ancillary including tertiary sector activities besides generating large scale

    employment opportunities. Since these involve political decisions and capital

    investments by the Government/public agencies, these are not predictable.

    Hence no specific areas for these have been earmarked specifically in the Master

    Plan. It would be the endeavour of the State Government and Central

    Government and the main departments like APIDC, APIIC, APSFC, Infrastructure

    Authority, and the Information Technology Department to bring in and promote

    such anchor and basic industrial activities and major jobs creating activities in the

    Kakatiya Development Area . Hence, instead, enabling provisions for facilitating

    and siting these in the Kakatiya Development Area have been incorporated in the

    development regulations.

    3.10 Development of a Freight Container and Logistics Hub at Hasanparthi:

    Warangal is strategically located vis--vis the railway network of the country. It is

    truly a gateway to south India. Before Kazipet and Warangal junctions two main

    railway lines branch out one towards Hyderabad and the second straight

    towards Vijayawada. One of the strategic locations suggested is around

    Hasanparthi Station. The proposed National Highway bypass alignment passes

    through south of Hasanparthi. Hence it would be appropriate that a freight

    container cum logistics hub be developed at Hasanparthi over an extent of about

    300 acres by the active participation of the South Central Railway, the Container

    Corporation of India and the private land owners under PPP mode. This would be

    a major economic base for Warangal.

    private freight storage facility. The above proposal would give a fillip to the

    agriculture produce and mineral wealth of the area.

    3.11 Generation of public open spaces, and sites for amenities and utilities:

    As the urban agglomeration increases the demand for public open spaces , siting

    and development of amenities and public utility areas become crucial for

    ensuring the quality of life. Since these are demand driven, no specific sites or

    plots, unlike in the past plans (where specific sites mostly in private lands have

    been marked and not implemented ), have been indicated. It is the responsibility

    of both the Warangal Municipal Corporation and KUDA to generate these

    facilities and areas by way of land assemblage permissions, and siting and

    developing these in Government lands as indicated in Annexure . Hence Land

    Pooling Schemes should be encouraged by these two premier public agencies

    (KUDA and WMC) in a big way, and the procedure should be development-

    friendly through licensed developers, so that apart from Government lands,

    sizeable chunks of plots for the above are generated by way of land pooling

    scheme approvals.

    3.12 Out of the total available government lands, about 5000 acres located in

    conducive and strategic locations are identified and proposed to be utilized for

    development of-

    (a) area-level parks and playgrounds,

    b) lake-front development and environment conservation,

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    e40

    (c ) Special Projects and Land bank repository in KUDA,

    (f) sites for public utilities and facilities and

    (g) for important Work centers and future industrialization.

    This task of facilitation and planned development through Projectisation of the

    above, is to be undertaken by the Master Plan Steering Committee, headed by

    the Collector, Warangal.

    Pag

    e41

    vacant Government lands should be placed at the disposal of the Urban

    Development Authority and the first and basic responsibility of the Urban

    Development Authority shall be to facilitate organized public open spaces and

    public utilities sites. Then only the lands for other Master Plan functions should

    be utilized. In the absence of the above, earmarking sites specifically for open

    spaces and public utilities in private lands becomes a futile exercise. Hence no

    specific areas excepting the heritage and open spaces zones that are

    environmentally critical for their protection and preservation, have been

    indicated in the Master Plan. These have to be generated as stated above by the

    two premier development agencies at the time of land development permissions

    and in those existing areas out of available public lands. In this regard, in the

    Kakatiya Development Area there are good number of vacant Government lands

    which can be utilized and developed for the above purpose. An inventory of such

    Government lands has been undertaken and their utilization indicated and

    enclosed at Annexure III .

    The Master Plan Steering Committee is required to create a Land bank with these

    identified Government lands and undertake their development of public

    amenities and facilities besides creation of new work centers and new integrated

    townships specifically indicated through KUDA,WMC and APIIC. KUDA should be

    the repository of the land bank.

    3.12 Division of Development Area into Planning Zones:

    (i) As required under the Act, and for the purpose of detailed planning and

    implementation, the urban spread area mentioned above is divided into 18

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e42

    Planning Zones (5 Planning zones within the existing Warangal Municipal

    Coprporation area and 6 Planning zones in the rest of the urban spread area

    and 7 zones for the Mandal Headquarters areas) keeping the physical

    characteristics and development trends in view for which detailed Zonal

    Development Plans are required to be undertaken keeping in view the overall

    framework of the Master Plan in view. These Zonal Development Plans are

    required to be undertaken under the aegis of Section 7 of the A P Urban

    Areas (Development) Act,1975 and are basically meant to be action plans,

    plans for development of the various areas (area development plans) and

    implementation plans and not just detailing out specific land uses.

    (ii) It may be noted that the rest of the Kakatiya Development Area, excepting for

    the Mandal Headquarters, is not categorized into planning zones since this is

    primarily an agriculture tract wherein basically agriculture and allied activities

    are expected to be predominant.

    The following are the proposed 18 Planning zones for the Kakatiya Development

    4. PROPOSED MASTER PLAN ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT PROMOTION

    STIPULATIONS

    (i) The main purpose of the Master Plan Development Promotion Stipulations,

    which are integral part of the Master Plan-2031, is to ensure that all

    development activities are undertaken under the aegis of the Master Plan

    and to guide the same in accordance with planning norms and standards.

    (ii) The Proposals allow individual development activities on the basis of

    people-activities-places philosophy- the Master Plan is development

    friendly with safeguards/ conditionalities of allowing certain higher order

    activities so that these are neither in conflict or contradictory to the zoning

    of development regulations nor contradict town planning norms and

    principles.

    (iii) The land development and development promotion stipulations should

    have development-friendly regulations consisting of: zoning stipulations

    based on functional criteria; the land development stipulations

    encompassing all types of land development; and lastly but not the least

    the building promotion activities and stipulations (customizing the latest

    Andhra Pradesh Common Building Rules,2012 in respect of Kakatiya

    Development Area (Warangal), so that all these are one single consolidated

    manual which is part of the Master Plan.

    (iv) The land use categorization is therefore not a rigid one but one that allows

    compatible uses and those activities that require higher level of planning

    inputs, site and locational requirements and scrutiny and these are grouped

    under permissible by the Competent Authority under Appeal Clause. The

    land development in the Kakatiya Development Area in this Master Plan

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e48

    2031 is categorized as follows:

    1 General Development Promotion Zone (GDPZ)

    2 Multiple Use Zone (MUZ)

    3 Public & Semi-Public Use Zone (PSPUZ)

    4 Heritage and Open Space Zone (HOSZ)

    5 Agriculture Zone (AZ)

    4.1 The above-mentioned land development categorization are as follows:

    (i) There is a definite distinction between allowing activities and uses in the

    Warangal Urban Spread area and rest of the Kakatiya Development Area

    which is generally categorized as Agriculture Zone. While in the urban

    spread area (which covers Warangal Municipal Corporation area and 50

    surrounding villages) allows primarily residential colonies and attendant

    support activities, the agriculture zone is primarily the rural tract wherein

    agriculture and allied activities are predominant and retained. However,

    this does not mean that other activities are not allowed in this agriculture

    tract. While preserving the good and fertile cultivable lands, agricultural

    support activities like agro-based units, storage godowns, brick kilns, self

    supporting educational and other institutions as a conscious policy are also

    allowed in non-fertile lands/dry lands. The basic idea is to allow limited and

    self-contained sparse developments, keeping the rural character in view.

    (ii) Thus, in the urban spread area, under General Development Promotion

    Zone, although this is meant for all types of residential activities and

    buildings, the accessory uses and activities like local shops, institutions like

  • KAKATIYA DEVELOPMENT AREA MASTER PLAN-2031

    Creating vast planned development opportunities

    Pag

    e49

    schools, medical centers, etc are also allowed. These are further governed

    by locational and site requirements as given in the Revised Common

    Building Rules issued by the Government. Likewise, under Multiple Use

    zone excepting for obnoxious and hazardous industrial and similar

    activities, all types of residential, commercial, institutional, educational and

    general and service industries are permissible.

    (iii) As stated earlier, departing from the conventional Master Plans, the land

    use and zoning of activities in this Master Plan are neither site specific nor

    plot specific. Instead, these have been made area specific, so as to give a

    certain freedom and flexibility on one hand and without compromising the

    general planning principles in view.

    4.2 The Master Plan Development Promotion Stipulations are as follows:

    General:

    In these Stipulations, unless the context otherwise requires, the definition

    given under, shall have the meaning indicated against each term.
