Tired of too many ads? go ad free now
Speaking at the CREDAI Hyderabad Property Show 2025, he announced that Metro rail services, largely unchanged for nearly a decade, would be extended to Shamirpet and Medchal, and redesigned to enhance last-mile connectivity. Multi-modal transport options are also planned for high-density areas to help alleviate traffic congestion.
The govt also intends to construct 11 new radial roads linking the Regional Ring Road (RRR) with the Outer Ring Road (ORR), establish a dry port along the Hyderabad–Amaravati Greenfield Highway, and implement a three-tier development model, dividing the state into urban, semi-urban, and rural zones.
"Infrastructure development is a key driver of growth," the CM said. The new plan includes a 300–360 km RRR encircling major economic hubs, to be connected by a regional ring rail and supported by dedicated industrial corridors.
Development & fiscal stability
Funding, he stated, would be secured through low-interest, long-tenure loans—some with repayment periods of up to 35 years—secured in coordination with the Centre and financial institutions.
This approach aims to maintain fiscal stability.
The proposed triple-sector strategy envisions urban areas within the ORR focusing on the expansion of financial districts, IT hubs, and metro networks; semi-urban areas between the ORR and RRR concentrating on manufacturing and industrial parks; and rural regions beyond the ORR undergoing agricultural modernisation, with enhanced transport and water connectivity.
"Real estate is not just land, it is potential and opportunity," Reddy said, encouraging investors and entrepreneurs to play a role in making Telangana a model for development.

Now, 100-metre FOB Connects Mumbai Metro 3 with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport Terminal 2
Mumbai: Catching a flight from Terminal 2 just got easier. A newly constructed 100-metre Foot Over Bridge (FOB) now links the CSMIA–T2 Metro Station on Line 3 directly to the airport terminal, allowing passengers to skip road traffic and walk straight from the Metro to the check-in counters. Built 23 metres above ground with strong structural steel, the bridge connects Lift Entry/Exit A1 of the Metro station at ground level directly into the terminal building. The 4.3-metre-wide and 3-metre-high structure sits above the ongoing Metro Line 7A station works, ensuring faster, safer, and seamless transfer for air travellers. "100-metre-long FOB to CSMIAirport T2 from underground Metro 3 station is opened. This facilitates much-needed last-mile connectivity to Mumbai Airport from the Metro station. Thank you MMRDA for providing the FOB on our request," said Ashwini Bhide, Managing Director, MMRCL.

Passengers no longer need to negotiate busy road crossings, and those carrying luggage will find the connection much easier. The spokesperson added that the construction posed significant challenges as the bridge had to be built high above the ongoing underground Metro works. On July 28, senior officials from the BMC, MMRCL, MMRDA, and Indian Railways met at the civic headquarters to discuss ways of improving last-mile connectivity. The discussions centred on integrating pedestrian infrastructure with the city's expanding underground transit system. One of the first integration projects in the pipeline is a 1-km pedestrian subway linking Acharya Atre Chowk Metro station to the Mahalaxmi Racecourse and the Coastal Road's parking facility at Haji Ali. A 160-metre arm is also planned to connect to nearby open spaces. BMC and MMRCL have already been working on the alignment since June. A senior official added that a Detailed Project Report (DPR) will be prepared in the next four months, with the vision of connecting high-density commercial hubs within a 500-m to 1-km radius. Equipped with escalators and elevators, these will be accessible for all commuters. Metro Line 3, also called the Aqua Line, is Mumbai's first fully underground Metro corridor.

'GST 2.0 game changer, will lead to single tax rate': Government sources; call out Congress 'hypocrisy' for claiming credit
N EW DELHI: The Goods and Services (GST) 2.0 is set to be a "game changer" subsequently leading to a single tax rate, news agency PTI reported citing government sources on Saturday. It further slammed the Congress party's "hypocrisy" for claiming credit for the reforms saying it "was not even present when landmark GST law was passed in 2017". Congress leaders have contended that the Centre was only now moving on a reform they had been advocating for years. Citing Rahul Gandhi's 2018 posts and videos calling for GST changes and a cap at 18%, the party argued that PM Modi's announcement merely confirmed its long-standing criticism of the existing structure. Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Independence Day address promised a Diwali gift for the citizens in the form of GST reforms and lower tax burden. "This Diwali, I am going to make it a double Diwali for you... Over the past eight years, we have undertaken a major reform in GST... We are bringing next-generation GST reforms. This will reduce the tax burden across the country,' he said. Following this, the Centre rolled out a draft blueprint for GST 2.0, proposing two primary slabs, 5% for essential items and 18% for most other goods, in an effort to simplify the system and ease compliance for both citizens and businesses. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Retro Lanterns: A Halloween Staple topgadgetlife Shop Now Undo The overhaul plan, set to be reviewed by a group of state finance ministers on Thursday, suggested scrapping the existing 12% and 28% rates, phasing out the compensation cess before the March deadline, and imposing a 40% levy on sin goods. The current GST framework has five main slabs, nil, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%, with additional rates of 0.25% and 3% applied to precious metals. At present, roughly 21% of all goods fall under the 5% bracket.
