Telangana secures Rs 50,000 crore Miyapur land after Supreme Court verdict
The Story in Brief
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday, 30 October 2026, said a Supreme Court verdict had protected state government property worth Rs 50,000 crore on a disputed 550-acre plot in Miyapur, Hyderabad. Reddy announced plans to sell the land and use the proceeds for irrigation, education and healthcare. A Cabinet sub-committee on resource mobilisation will examine the proposed sale and development projects, he said.
The BRS opposed the move. MLC Dasoju Sravan accused Reddy of continuing to act like a realtor and demanded the land be used for the poor and public infrastructure instead of commercial ventures. The BRS government had earlier monetised land at Kokapet and through a toll-operate-transfer arrangement on the Outer Ring Road, generating thousands of crores, but the CAG criticised its revenue projections as unrealistic.
Update, 30 October 2026: The Hindu Business Line now also reports the story, quoting Reddy thanking the Supreme Court for the verdict and alleging that former Chief Minister KCR, his relative Damodar Rao and Goldstone Prasad had attempted to grab the Miyapur lands. It adds that Reddy claimed his government had protected government lands worth Rs 1.5 lakh crore in the past three years.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Telangana Today and India Today report Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's announcement of a Supreme Court verdict upholding state ownership of the 550-acre Miyapur land, with the latter quoting his 'slap in the face' comment against the previous BRS government. The Hindu Business Line adds Reddy's allegations that KCR and his relatives attempted to grab the land. M9.News, while acknowledging the legal victory as a major achievement, questions if selling public land is becoming the easiest way for successive governments to finance promises, recalling BRS-era land monetisation deals and CAG criticism. The Telangana government has now secured ownership of land worth Rs 50,000 crore, with a Cabinet sub-committee set to examine the proposed sale. The BRS has opposed the move and demanded the land be used for the poor and public infrastructure.
