Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is set to complete half of his term by mid-June 2026, having taken oath on December 7, 2023. Around this politically significant milestone, the state government is reportedly moving towards a series of price revisions that are expected to impact the public.
One of the major proposals under consideration is a steep increase in registration charges for lands and buildings, which is likely to come into effect from the 28th of this month. According to reports, the government is planning to revise the value of agricultural, non-agricultural, and immovable properties by up to 50%.
In the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) region, where a large share of revenue comes from apartment registrations, the per-square-foot valuation of flats is expected to see a sharp rise. In areas where the current rate ranges between ₹3,500 and ₹4,000 per square foot, the new valuation may go up to around ₹6,000 per square foot, marking an increase of nearly 75%.
The government is reportedly expecting an additional revenue of around ₹1,500 crore per year from these revised registration charges. Officials believe the move is necessary to support growing welfare and development expenditures.
In another development, the Telangana government is also considering a hike in liquor prices after June 2. A three-member committee has reportedly recommended an increase of around 25–30% in existing liquor rates. However, the final decision is expected to be calibrated to avoid strong consumer backlash.
As the Revanth Reddy-led government approaches the midpoint of its tenure, these proposed price hikes are likely to become a key political talking point. The opposition is expected to highlight these revisions as a major issue, especially during this politically sensitive phase.
Government sources, however, argue that rising welfare commitments and development spending have left limited fiscal flexibility, making such revenue-enhancing measures necessary.
