The Directorate of Town and Country Planning has evolved a new idea of an online portal ‘Build Now’ aimed to facilitate permissions for building and layouts in Telangana State . This system is well features for promoting urbanization as it incorporates technology to improve effectiveness, transparency and overall experience of the customer.
An Initiative that Change the Landscape of the Urban Development
The ‘Build Now’ platform is meant to be a successor of TS-bPASS systems and was launched by IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu. The shift is part the gobiernos enduring quest to make almost every process appealing and seamless to the person seeking encasement and this cuts down on the number of steps involved in the operation.
Minister Sridhar Babu during the launch said, “Urbanisation has been the focus of attention for the government of Telangana because close to 60% of the people live in urban and peri urban settlements. Our Honourable Chief Minister has personally taken over the watching of these endeavours so that there is no hostile atmosphere for businesses and promises are seen to be kept,”
Features of the ‘Build Now’ Platform
Deep learning, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality are just a few of the advanced technologies that the system ‘Build Now’ integrates. Because of this integration, the ratification and resolution rates will be increased significantly. Some of the most notable features include the following: Rapid Approvals:
Building and Layout approvals are today done in some seconds.
The software that has been integrated will allow faster deployment of drawing scrutiny as it is the fastest in the country.
Unified Services Under One Portal:
Any type of planning service, from occupancy certificates, to transferable development rights (TDR), can be found in one single portal.
Notices of unauthorized constructions are generated by the system and all of the relevant planning modules are also automatically managed by the system.
Advanced AI Support:
The interface has an AI assistant which answers questions asked by users.
Automated assistance is very effective in making sure that adherence to rules and guidelines is not violated.

There are augmented reality based 3D visualization tools included in the app providing better clarify with the design of the project.
Ensuring Security and Transparency with Blockchain:
Listening all these views lets us see one of the strong attributes of the ‘Build Now’ platform i.e. public blockchain technology. When a document is approved, a signed copy of the document is uploaded onto the cloud and this provides a lot of guarantee on the security of data. Minister Sridhar Babu indicated that “Every document which is approved on this application is secured from being misused while at the same time it has been securely stored on the blockchain making it impossible to alter the content.”

The ‘Build Now’ project is clear evidence of how Telangana envisions itself in the future. It’s time to set new standards not only for urban governance but for the country in using and implementing simple yet greatly effective technology.
As it rolls out in Telangana, people will have a system that is straightforward, clear, and easy to use for getting building approvals. This marks a major step towards a fully digital society.
