The SNDi of new construction in Armoor was at its lowest in 1976-1990, compared to Telangana which rose steadily and India which followed a zig-zag trend with an overall increase. Most recently, Armoor's incremental SNDi rose from 2.35 to 2.6 between 1991-2005 and 2006-2020. In terms of the aggregate network, Armoor ranked 8th out of 47 cities in Telangana and 213th out of 1868 in India as of 2020.

In new street additions, Armoor built increasingly connected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then shifted to more disconnected patterns, while Sadabad built increasingly disconnected streets over time and Chashan built increasingly disconnected streets from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. For the full network, Armoor became more connected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then grew more sprawly from 1976-1990 onwards, while Sadabad became progressively more disconnected and Chashan grew more disconnected from 1975 through 1976-1990, then improved. Armoor and Sadabad have been growing further apart in their street-network character since 1975.
