Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, speaking at the CREDAI Property Show 2025, unveiled a vision for Hyderabad blending development, sustainability, and investment without straining the State’s resources. “As a middle-class man, I value every rupee spent,” he said, emphasising accountability.
His roadmap integrates eco-friendly urban expansion, lake reclamation, and the Regional Ring Road to foster inclusive growth. By prioritising connectivity and environmental resilience, Reddy aims to position Hyderabad as a global hub, ensuring prosperity for all while safeguarding public funds and the State’s natural heritage for future generations.
Hyderabad has long been seen as a city where heritage and modernity coexist, but the Telangana Chief Minister’s vision, outlined at the CREDAI show, propels the city forward into a bold new chapter.
His roadmap, unveiled before some of the most influential players in real estate and infrastructure, reimagines Hyderabad as a global investment destination built on seamless connectivity, sustainable planning, and futuristic urban design.
Expansion plans
At the heart of this plan lies Hyderabad’s expansion beyond its current boundaries. Underlining that the Outer Ring Road (ORR) has already redefined the city’s mobility landscape, the Chief Minister has shared that the government is now moving decisively towards developing the Regional Ring Road (RRR).
Recollecting the foundations of Hyderabad laid by various rules across different eras – from the erstwhile rulers (Qutb Shahi kings and the Nizams) to earlier Chief Ministers such as Janardhan Reddy, Chandrababu Naidu and Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, Revanth Reddy promised to take the momentum forward and continue working towards the growth of the State in general and Hyderabad in particular.
As a part of the broader vision to advance transit and infrastructure reach for seamless movement and integration, 11 new radial roads have been proposed and sent for Centre’s approval, which will directly connect the RRR to the ORR, ensuring smoother traffic flow, decongestion of inner zones, and opening up fresh investment corridors around Hyderabad.
Equally ambitious is the Regional Ring Railway, which aims to integrate urban planning with rural growth. The Hyderabad Disaster Management and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA), on the other hand, not only helps in disaster management in the city and protection of public property but also focuses on reclaiming encroached water bodies, nallahs, conservation of lakes and improvement of drainage system by diverting sewage drains.
HYDRAA will aid in preventing unplanned urban sprawl while creating new opportunities for investors and middle-class families alike, shared the Chief Minister. With the objective of bringing the peripheries of the city into the fold of urban planning, the visionary leader has created a comprehensive plan of action for the overall development of Hyderabad, and Telangana, by planning industrial zones, residential hubs, and logistic corridors in a harmonised way.
Bharat Future City: Next-gen urban hub
The Bharat Future City plan, touted to be a next-generation urban hub within Hyderabad’s extended growth radius, forms another cornerstone. This project will combine high-end commercial districts, technology parks, and eco-friendly housing clusters, creating a magnet for global companies and professionals seeking quality living standards.
Giving a major thrust to connectivity, Revanth Reddy’s shrewd vision includes expanding the Hyderabad Metro, which has remained stagnant for a decade. Pledging to expand the metro rail network and connect it to the airport, he also said that metro growth will aid in easing traffic congestion.
Plans to extend the metro to Shamirpet and Medchal, strengthen last-mile connectivity, and develop multi-modal transport hubs in dense areas are all part of his promise to make public transport a central pillar of Hyderabad’s growth. Multi-modal transport hubs will integrate buses, metro lines, and regional trains, making mobility faster and cheaper.
But infrastructure isn’t just about roads and railways, said Revanth Reddy making a special mention of lake reclaiming projects and the Musi River rejuvenation, which will redefine Hyderabad’s ecological backbone. Reviving lakes and turning Musi into a vibrant waterfront will not only improve the city’s environmental resilience but also elevate its real estate appeal.
The Chief Minister’s message in his speech was loud and clear: Hyderabad is entering a new growth cycle – one driven by sustainability, transparent policies, and futuristic planning. For developers, CREDAI members, and global investors, this is both a call to action and a reassurance. Hyderabad is not only competing with other Indian metros but is poised to become a world-class city along the lines of Singapore, Tokyo and others in the near future.
