# Telangana extends HILT policy deadline to Oct 31 2026-08-14T18:26:12+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Telangana government has extended the deadline for applications under the HILT (Hyderabad Industries Location, Transition) policy to October 31, after industries showed little interest in relocating from the CURE area beyond the ORR. Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy announced the decision after a Cabinet meeting on Friday, telanganatoday.com reports. The Cabinet also cleared the e-auction of 17.54 lakh metric tonnes of surplus paddy, with a base price of Rs 2,389 per quintal. Genuine lands incorrectly included in the prohibited category under Section 22-A will be cleared within days, Reddy said. Other decisions include distribution of new smart cards to ration cardholders from August 15, Rs 500 bonus for seven fine-grain varieties, and administrative sanction of Rs 2,100 crore for the Makthal-Narayanpet-Kodangal Lift Irrigation Project Phase-II. ## Coverage - telanganatoday.com Tags: CURE Area, e-auction, HILT Policy, ORR, Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Telangana government Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/telangana-extends-hilt-policy-deadline-to-oct-31/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
