9,292 Acres of New Land to be released for Housing in Hyderabad

A massive amount of land is becoming available in Hyderabad. Especially within the ORR (Outer Ring Road), around 9,000 acres of land in the heart of the city will now become suitable for construction. The Telangana government has recently introduced a policy called HILT for unused industrial lands and for industries causing pollution inside the ORR. According to real estate experts, the Hyderabad Industrial Lands Transformation Policy is a major opportunity for the real estate market.

The policy enables the conversion of 9,292 acres of old industrial land located inside and around the ORR into residential, commercial, IT, and multi-use zones. Major industrial zones like Azamabad near RTC Crossroads, Nacharam IDA, Mallapur, Cherlapally, Kukatpally, Jeedimetla, Balanagar, Sanathnagar, Patancheru, Katedan, Hayathnagar, and Chandulal Baradari fall under this new zone. These lands, which were earlier restricted only to industrial use, will now open vast opportunities for real estate developers.

The Telangana government has officially approved the transformation of 9,292 acres of industrial land into multi-use zones, including 4,740 acres of plotted area. From now on, residential apartments, commercial complexes, and shopping malls can also be built on this land. Experts predict this decision will bring a major shift in urban land use. They also say this policy will become a game-changer for the real estate market. Old industrial areas that have remained unchanged for decades will be converted into new residential projects. New project launches will increase. As a result, housing will become more affordable. The policy is expected to help the Hyderabad real estate market recover strongly by 2025–26. There is a high demand for mid-income housing, but supply is insufficient. If this policy helps bridge that gap, Hyderabad will become more affordable.

Real estate experts say that making 9,292 acres of land available for residential and commercial construction inside the ORR will generate massive revenue for the government and give real estate companies room to reduce prices. The government's order states that these lands can be used for constructing apartments, integrated townships, offices, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, and research centers. They can also be used for parks, sports and cultural centers, technology parks, and campuses. To develop this land, 30% of the registration value must be paid. Plots with roads less than 80 feet wide must pay 30%, and those with roads wider than 80 feet must pay 50%.
