Gram panchayat layouts inside HMDA’s extended area
Since HMDA’s region was extended to the RRR in March 2025, panchayat-approved layouts in those villages need careful checking.
On this page
Summary
Inside HMDA limits, plotted layouts need HMDA permission. Many outer villages came under HMDA in March 2025. Layouts in these villages approved only by a gram panchayat, or marketed as “HMDA approved” without a permission number, carry high risk.
The record
G.O. 68 dated 12 March 2025 extended the Hyderabad Metropolitan Region up to the RRR plus a buffer of up to 2 km.
Approval status in these villages depends on when and by whom the layout was approved.
What buyers should verify
- The village’s current authority.
- An HMDA Layout Permission number, verified with HMDA.
- Whether any earlier approval is still valid.
What this alert does not mean
It does not mean every layout in these villages is unauthorised. It means you should verify.
