Hyderabad Emerging as Preferred Destination for GCCs, Says Sridhar Babu

Hyderabad: Telangana is positioning itself as a major global hub for electronics manufacturing by developing a complete end-to-end ecosystem that extends beyond device assembly, IT and Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu said on Saturday.

Speaking during an interaction at the Secretariat, the minister emphasized that electronics manufacturing is a key pillar of the state’s industrial and economic growth.

Congratulating Hyderabad-based Radiant Appliances and Electronics Private Limited for achieving the milestone of manufacturing 10 million television units, he said the accomplishment reflects the growing strength and maturity of Telangana’s industrial sector.

Sridhar Babu noted that the government is focused on creating a comprehensive electronics value chain covering component manufacturing, printed circuit board assembly, semiconductors, and smart devices.

Referring to India’s target of reaching $500 billion in electronics production by 2030, he said Telangana is well placed to make a strong contribution to the national goal.

The minister added that Hyderabad is increasingly attracting global capability centres (GCCs) and major companies due to its highly skilled talent pool, world-class infrastructure, smooth road connectivity with relatively low traffic congestion, and affordable commercial rentals.

He said the state government is strengthening infrastructure, extending policy support, and promoting industry-academia collaborations to build a future-ready workforce and attract high-value, export-oriented investments.

GHMC to Be Split Into Three Civic Bodies: Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Malkajgiri 31 December 2025

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), currently India’s largest civic body, is set to be trifurcated into three separate municipal corporations — Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Malkajgiri — as part of a major administrative reorganisation planned by the Telangana government.

According to government sources, an official announcement is likely after the current GHMC Council’s term ends on February 10, 2026. More details are expected to emerge during the Telangana Assembly session scheduled for January 2026.

Why the GHMC Is Being Reorganised

Over the years, GHMC’s jurisdiction has expanded significantly. The civic body now covers 2,053 square kilometres, following the merger of 27 urban local bodies located within or around the Outer Ring Road (ORR). This expansion transformed GHMC into a massive administrative unit, raising concerns over efficiency and governance.

Currently, GHMC is divided into:

  • 12 zones
  • 60 circles
  • 300 wards

Before the expansion, the erstwhile GHMC covered just 650 sq. km, with 30 circles and 150 wards.

Proposed Ward Distribution

The state government is reportedly considering two possible models for dividing the wards among the three new municipal corporations:

  1. Hyderabad: 150 wards
    Cyberabad: 75 wards
    Malkajgiri: 75 wards

OR

  1. Equal distribution:
    • Hyderabad: 100 wards
    • Cyberabad: 100 wards
    • Malkajgiri: 100 wards

A final decision is expected closer to the announcement date.

Impact on Urban Governance

The proposed trifurcation aims to:

  • Improve administrative efficiency
  • Ensure better civic service delivery
  • Enable focused urban planning for different regions

If implemented, GHMC will lose its status as the country’s largest municipal corporation, marking a significant shift in Hyderabad’s urban governance structure.
