Telangana Government plans 'Net Zero City' on Hyderabad outskirts
HYDERABAD: Telangana government is planning to develop an eco-friendly and innovative 'Net Zero City' on the outskirts of Hyderabad. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy visited the proposed site in Meerkhanpet on Sunday. Meerkhanpet is located near Kandukur in Ranga Reddy district and around 20 KM from Outer Ring Road.
He emphasized that the city will be carbon emission-free and pollution-free, known as 'Net Zero City.' Reddy provided several suggestions to officials regarding the development plans. Alongside this project, a Skill University is also being established in the area. With the latest announcement of 'Net Zero City' land prices around Kandukur surroundings are expected to soar, which are already at peak.
During his Sunday visit to Meerkhanpet Revanth Reddy reviewed the development site. He inspected the proposals and advised officials on necessary changes. Accompanying him were Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha and MLA Mall Reddy Rangareddy.
Hyderabad is swiftly developing into a global city. City is attracting investments from various national and international organizations. These companies are setting up operations and expanding their activities in the city. In line with this growth, the state government is prioritizing the development of areas on the city’s outskirts. This includes the creation of a 'Net Zero City' as part of their broader urban development plans.
The state government is also utilizing land previously acquired for the Pharma City project to build the 'Net Zero City.' The previous administration intended to acquire around 19,000 acres for the Pharma City, with over 12,000 acres already acquired. After the Congress party came to power, they announced plans to develop the Pharma City in clusters around Hyderabad rather than a single location.
