Hyderabad Sanjeevaiah Park laser show opens at Rs 49.65 crore cost
The Telangana Tourism Development Corporation (TGTDC) has opened a multimedia laser show, water screen and musical fountain at Sanjeevaiah Park in Hyderabad from Wednesday. The Rs 49.65 crore project was developed with Union Ministry of Tourism support to promote Hyderabad as a tourist destination.
Shows will run from 7 pm to 7.30 pm and 8 pm to 8.30 pm. Entry is Rs 150 for adults and Rs 120 for children aged five to 12. The display includes laser projections, water screen visuals, and a fountain synchronised with music.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The laser-and-water show at Sanjeevaiah Park follows a broader push by the Telangana government to upgrade public spaces in Hyderabad ahead of the next tourist season. The project cost of Rs 49.65 crore is partly funded by the Centre under a tourism scheme, which usually requires states to maintain the asset for a minimum period. A comparable precedent is the laser show at Bengaluru's Vidhana Soudha, which struggled with attendance and maintenance costs after the novelty faded. The real test for this Hyderabad show will be visitor numbers and ticket revenue, as the Rs 150 adult ticket price is higher than many city attractions. If footfalls fall short, the state tourism corporation may need to revise pricing or extend show timings within the next six months.
