Telangana Reopens Industrial Land Conversion Portal With Three-Month Extension
The state government will accept HILTP applications until October 31, allowing industrial land near Hyderabad to transition to multi-use zones. Under this extension, property owners can benefit from land rates established before the June 2026 price hike.
Key takeaways
- Telangana reopened the HILTP application portal for three months ending October 31.
- Land conversion fees will be calculated based on SRO rates existing before the June 5, 2026, increase.
- The extension applies specifically to industrial lands located near the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road.
- TGIIC remains the nodal agency responsible for managing the multi-use zone transformation.
Policy Extension and Fee Structure
Telangana authorities have announced a three-month window for industrial land conversion applications under the Hyderabad Industrial Lands Transformation Policy (HILTP). Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju confirmed via a Government Order that the online portal will remain active from August 1 through October 31. A significant provision of this extension is the application of Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) rates that were in effect before the June 5, 2026, price revision.
Background
The decision follows feedback from various industrial associations and stakeholders who argued that the previous one-month application window in June was insufficient. During a June 21 meeting with the Cabinet Sub-Committee on revenue mobilisation, representatives requested the portal remain open through December 2026 and urged the government to honor older SRO rates. While the government did not grant an extension until December, the new October deadline provides significant relief to landholders within and near the Outer Ring Road (ORR) seeking to shift to multi-use zoning.
Implementation Details
The Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC) serves as the nodal agency managing the HILTP framework. All existing operational guidelines and policy terms remain in force without modification. The TGIIC Vice Chairman and Managing Director are tasked with executing the directive to facilitate these transitions. This policy aims to repurpose industrial plots for broader commercial and residential utility in the expanding Hyderabad metropolitan area.
Key Facts
- Application Window: August 1 to October 31, 2026.
- Pricing Base: SRO rates from prior to June 5, 2026, will be utilized despite recent upward revisions.
- Geographic Scope: Industrial lands located within or in the vicinity of the Hyderabad Outer Ring Road.
- Governing Body: Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC) oversees the conversion process.
