FACT CHECK
DigitEYE India decided to investigate this claim and discovered that the Kondapur flyover did get flooded after heavy rain. Hyderabad faced severe weather in mid-July 2025, with heavy downpours recorded from July 18 to July 20, leading to widespread waterlogging across the city.
A report by the Economic Times, published on 21 July 2025 sheds light on the rainfall situation. It mentions how the India Meteorological Department noted that Hyderabad recorded its heaviest downpour of the monsoon season on July 18, with several areas receiving over 100 mm of rain.

An article published by Cartoq on 20 July 2025 also affirms this claim about the Kondapur flyover getting flooded. View a section from the article below –
The Hindu reported that the flyover experienced severe waterlogging on the night of July 18, with efforts to clear clogged drains starting the next day. In a report published on 19 July 2025, they state how the “Cyberabad Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Gajrao Bhupal acknowledged that there were lapses,”
The Hindu in another report published on 19 July 2025 highlights the flood hit areas and the evacuation measures. They observe how “Serilingampally, which received around seven centimetres of rainfall, took the worst beating, with flood water inundating the roads at Madhapur, Gachibowli, Raidurgam, Hitech City and Kondapur areas.”
Less than a week later on 24 July 2025, A.V. Ranganath directed the Disaster Response Force (DRF) and Monsoon Emergency Teams inspected the Kondapur area again. The report published by The Hindu, states how “water had stagnated recently due to malfunctioning of de-watering pumps.”
Thus, the claim about the Kondapur flyover getting flooded after heavy rain is true. Clogged drainage systems and malfunctioning motors prevented water outflow, exacerbating stagnation on the elevated structure.
