Bold vision to transform Hyderabad
into a global 'Top 5' City

HyderabadRising is a transformative mission to place Hyderabad among the top five global cities to live in. With a vision grounded in ambition and speed, the city aims to achieve Net Zero, become a services-only economy, reach over $600 billion in City GDP (C-GDP), and redefine itself as the Fastest, Bluest, Greenest, Cleanest, Safest, and most Opportunity-rich city in the world.

A strategic, ambitious, and transformative vision

In a strategic and audacious vision, Chief Minister Shri A. Revanth Reddy aims to position Hyderabad as a catalyst for the growth of the State and the nation.

  • $600 billion C-GDP by 2047
  • Top 5 global city for living
  • Net Zero core urban area
  • $300 billion manufacturing target
  • HYDRAA to protect public property in city

Mega projects on a fast track

Key infrastructure projects will be executed on a war footing. These include Musi Rejuvenation, Bharat Future City, AI City, Pharma City, and HYDRAA (Lake Restoration) — each pivotal to reshaping Hyderabad’s urban landscape.

$600 billion city GDP

No city globally is currently measured by its own GDP. Hyderabad will set a new benchmark with a focused strategy to drive Hyderabad’s City GDP beyond $600 billion by 2047, propelling it forward to become a global urban economic leader.

Fastest city

To beat traffic bottlenecks, Hyderabad is launching a multi-modal mobility revolution. To address both current congestion and future growth, a multi-pronged approach will be adopted involving

  • Metro rail expansion
  • Urban ring rail network
  • Signal-free junctions

Cleanest city

An aggressive move to set up underground cabling will eliminate overhead wires, drastically improving the city’s aesthetics and safety. Combined with cleaner roads and greener pathways, the city has the potential to attain world-class living standards.

Greenest city

The upcoming Rajiv Park, envisioned as the world’s largest urban park spanning 2,000+ acres, will anchor Hyderabad’s green ambitions. Vertical and horizontal green bridges will interconnect existing parks city-wide, making the city beautiful and pollution-free.

Bluest city

Restoring Hyderabad’s natural water network is key to making the city the Bluest City. This will mitigate urban flooding and revive the city’s original identity as a “City of Lakes”. It can be done by

  • Reclaiming encroached lakes and water channels
  • Reestablishing the city's historic hydrological flow

Musi rejuvenation

Central to becoming the Bluest City, the Musi River — Hyderabad’s historic lifeline — will be fully restored across its 55-km stretch, flowing cleanly through the heart of the city once again.

Climate-resilient city

Hyderabad will be India’s first city ready for climate emergencies like floods and droughts. Planning includes robust systems to predict, manage, and prevent climate-related disasters.

Safest city

For traffic management, law and order, and emergency response, Hyderabad will be equipped with:

  • Expanded CCTV networks
  • Enhanced public lighting
  • Drone policing

Top city for living

Hyderabad aims to be one of the world’s top five livable cities by 2035. The plan includes achieving Net Zero emissions in the Core Urban Area.

Net zero city

A state-of-the-art public transport system and the city’s ‘Non-Negotiable Zoning’, including education centres, offices, green and blue spaces, open spaces, parks, housing clusters, malls, entertainment, commercial centres, etc., will help cement Hyderabad’s position in the global space as an “Urban Mecca”.

Opportunity city

Hyderabad’s 'Bharat Future City' will redefine urban planning, and become a benchmark as India’s best-planned cities.

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) City and innovation hubs
  • Strict zoning rules
  • Smart infrastructure with zero-emission goals

Growth of manufacturing sector

Manufacturing clusters between the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and Regional Ring Road (RRR) are set to generate $300 billion, placing Hyderabad at the forefront of industrial innovation.
