Telangana issues operational guidelines for Hyderabad industrial land conversion policy
HYDERABAD: Nearly seven months after announcing the Hyderabad Industrial Lands Transformation Policy (HILTP), the Telangana government has issued operational guidelines to implement the scheme. The policy aims to convert industrial lands into multi-use zones within and around the Outer Ring Road (ORR).
The government introduced HILTP in November 2025 to support mixed-use development on industrial land parcels.
On Friday night, the industries and commerce department released a government order (GO) outlining the policy framework.
Industries minister D Sridhar Babu launched an online portal to receive applications from eligible industrial units seeking benefits under the policy. Applicants can submit forms until June 30.
According to the guidelines, industrial plots and units in 22 industrial parks within ORR limits are eligible. Only plots with executed sale deeds can apply under the scheme.
Applicants must clear pending dues such as property tax, mutation charges, delay condonation charges and other payments payable to the Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC). They must also submit sale deeds, PAN details and related documents.
The processing fee depends on land size. It starts at ₹20,000 for plots up to one acre and rises to ₹10 lakh for industrial lands measuring 50 acres or more.
Scrutiny Committee to Process Applications
The government has formed a scrutiny committee headed by the executive director of TGIIC along with other officials. The committee will examine and process applications.
The GO stated that applicants who apply on or before June 30 must pay an upfront development impact fee (DIF) of 10%. Authorities will calculate the fee based on prevailing sub-registrar office (SRO) market rates.
The government clarified that applicants can submit forms only through the online portal. They must pay 10% of the DIF during submission.
After approval, applicants must pay the remaining 90% DIF in two instalments. They must pay the first 45% within 45 days and the remaining 45% within the next 45 days.
The GO warned that delayed payments could attract a 1% penalty after a one-month grace period.
