Hyderabad Industrial Lands Transformation Policy (HILTP): Unlocking Multi-Use Potential Near ORR for Urban Growth In the heart of Telangana's booming economy, Hyderabad stands as a beacon of innovation and progress. The city's rapid urbanization has reshaped skylines and sparked new opportunities, but it also poses challenges for legacy industrial zones. Enter the Hyderabad Industrial Lands Transformation Policy (HILTP)—a groundbreaking initiative approved by the Government of Telangana on November 22, 2025. This policy paves the way for converting approximately 9,292 acres of industrial land within and near the Outer Ring Road (ORR) into vibrant multi-use zones. With a plotted area spanning 4,740 acres, HILTP promises to blend industrial heritage with modern commercial, residential, and recreational spaces, fostering sustainable urban development. Imagine transforming dusty factory floors into bustling tech hubs, luxury residences, and green parks—all while generating substantial revenue for infrastructure upgrades. HILTP doesn't just rezone land; it revitalizes Hyderabad's economic landscape. Developers, investors, and urban planners now have a clear, streamlined path to repurpose these assets. This article dives deep into the policy's mechanics, benefits, application process, and long-term impacts, equipping you with everything you need to navigate this transformative opportunity. Understanding the Hyderabad Industrial Lands Transformation Policy: A Catalyst for Urban Renewal Hyderabad's journey from a historic princely state to India's IT powerhouse has been nothing short of spectacular. Yet, the city's explosive growth has left behind a patchwork of industrial estates established 50-60 years ago. Areas like Balanagar, Kukatpally, and Uppal once buzzed with manufacturing activity, but evolving market demands call for adaptive reuse. The HILTP addresses this head-on, targeting industrial parks inside the ORR and select zones within 8 km of its periphery. At its core, HILTP authorizes the shift from single-use industrial designations to multi-use zoning. This means landowners can now integrate offices, retail outlets, housing complexes, and even hospitality venues on the same plot. The policy covers 20 key industrial parks, totaling 9,292 acres, with a focus on those facing socio-economic and environmental pressures. For instance, the IDA Nacharam spans 700 acres, while the sprawling IDA Patancheru covers 1,188.82 acres—prime real estate ripe for reinvention. What sets HILTP apart? It mandates a one-time Development Impact Fee (DIF), calculated as a percentage of the Standard Rate of Open (SRO) value. This fee ensures that transformations contribute fairly to public infrastructure, like enhanced roads and public transport. Plots facing roads narrower than 80 feet attract a 30% SRO fee, while those on wider 80-foot-plus corridors pay 50%. This tiered structure incentivizes strategic location-based planning, aligning private gains with public good. The Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited (TGIIC)—formerly TGIIIC—serves as the nodal agency, streamlining approvals through the user-friendly TG-IPASS portal. This digital-first approach minimizes red tape, promising approvals in as little as 14 days. As Hyderabad eyes its place among global metropolises like Singapore and Dubai, HILTP emerges as a smart policy tool, blending economic vitality with inclusive growth.

Telangana Governor Approves Prosecution of KTR in Formula E Race Corruption Case: Major Breakthrough in ₹55 Crore Scandal The Telangana Governor has officially greenlit the Anti-Corruption Bureau's (ACB) request to prosecute BRS working president and former minister K T Rama Rao (KTR) in the high-profile Formula E race corruption case. This development marks a pivotal moment in one of Telangana's most scrutinized financial irregularity probes, involving allegations of misuse of over ₹54.88 crore in public funds. After months of intense investigation, the approval paves the way for the ACB to move forward with filing a chargesheet, intensifying scrutiny on the previous BRS government's handling of the international electric car racing event. What Led to the Governor's Approval in the KTR Formula E Case? The journey to this sanction began with a meticulous nine-month investigation by the Telangana ACB, launched following complaints of procedural lapses and financial mismanagement in organizing the Hyderabad E-Prix. Investigators allege that funds were released without proper approvals from the state Finance Department or the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), particularly for foreign currency transactions. On September 9, the ACB formally approached the Governor's office, seeking permission under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act to prosecute KTR, who served as the Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) minister during the BRS regime. The delay—spanning over ten weeks—stemmed from thorough legal reviews, including consultations with the Attorney General. Finally, on November 19, Governor Jishnu Dev Varma granted the nod, citing sufficient prima facie evidence of irregularities. This approval is crucial because KTR, as a sitting MLA at the time of the alleged offenses, required gubernatorial sanction for prosecution. Similar permissions were earlier granted for initiating the probe, but this latest clearance allows the ACB to press formal charges. Telangana State
