The Telangana Cabinet, led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, has approved the development of a 30,000-acre “Future City” between Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar highways. This city is designed to be India’s first net-zero carbon city, with a focus on sustainability and green infrastructure. The city will be managed by the newly formed Future City Development Authority (FCDA), which will replace the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) in the region.
The city is expected to be a major hub for AI, pharmaceuticals, medical tourism, and sports, and will feature eight specialized zones, including an AI and tech hub, a life sciences park, and a sports city with an international cricket stadium. The city will also have solar-powered housing and metro connectivity.
The city is expected to be self-sufficient, with a plan to run entirely on renewable energy, using green infrastructure, electric public transport, and zero landfill waste systems. The city is expected to create 300,000 jobs and will be a major boost to the state’s economy.
The Telangana government has also announced plans to launch a Skills University, which will train 50,000 students annually in sectors like pharmaceuticals and fintech. The university will partner with firms like SBI and Dr. Reddy’s to provide job training and placement opportunities.
Additionally, the government has announced plans to develop 27 special tourism zones, aiming to attract ₹15,000 crore in investments, and has also increased the quota for Backward Classes in local bodies to 42%. The state is also set to host the Miss World 2025 pageant in December.
The Future City is expected to position Telangana as a pioneer in green urbanism, aligning with global climate goals while balancing rapid industrialization with ecological responsibility. The state government has also revealed plans to restructure the HMDA to focus on larger cooperation and extent its jurisdiction to the Regional Ring Road, covering 1,355 villages in 11 districts.
