Who approves layouts around Hyderabad after March 2025?
G.O. 68 and G.O. 69 redrew planning jurisdiction. A guide to HMDA, FCDA and DTCP areas, and the dual-jurisdiction risk.
The two orders
| Order | Effect |
|---|---|
| G.O. 68, 12 March 2025 | HMDA region extended up to the RRR plus a buffer of up to 2 km: about 1,355 villages, 104 mandals, 11 districts, about 10,472 sq km |
| G.O. 69, March 2025 | FCDA created for 56 villages in Amangal, Ibrahimpatnam, Kadthal, Kandukur, Maheshwaram, Manchal and Yacharam mandals; 36 villages moved out of HMDA |
Dual-jurisdiction risk
Villages that changed authority may have layouts approved by the previous authority. Some reports say HMDA and DTCP continued issuing permissions inside FCDA territory for a period. Such approvals may need re-verification with the current authority.
Further changes
Additional villages, including 28 in Maheshwaram mandal, have been proposed for inclusion in FCDA. Jurisdiction may keep changing.
How to use this
- Identify the villageFrom records, not brochures.
- Find the current authorityHMDA, FCDA or DTCP.
- Compare with the approving authorityIf different, ask how the approval stands now.
