Telangana to scrap master plan to bar new plants in city
A new master plan is expected to be unveiled by the government by December.
Hyderabad: The Telangana government is all set to scrap the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Plan 2031 for preventing emergence of new industries within the ORR limits. A new master plan is expected to be unveiled by the government by December.
“The new policy would enable the development of new industrial townships spread over 500 acres each outside the ORR limits through land pooling. The new policy has been drafted and is under the active consideration of the government. It will be unveiled by December and would come into force from the New Year 2017," said a senior official of MAUD.
He said that land owners will be offered either shares in industries or monetary compensation as per their choice. Currently, Hyderabad metropolitan region does not have a single master plan, which allows people to use different loopholes.
In the first phase, the 13 townships have been planned in Gundlapochampally (biotech pharma), Medchal (medical, logistics), Shamirpet (recreation), Keesara (science), Ghatkesar (IT), Peddamberpet (media and auto) Bonguluru (electronic) and Adibatla (aerospace, IT), Tukkuguda (aerospace, hardware), Shamshabad (medical), Kokapet (finance) Patancheru (innovation).
