Integrated transit & last-mile connectivity

One mobility network across metro, bus, rail and last-mile, with walkways and cycling infrastructure treated as core infrastructure rather than amenity.

  • Metro rail expansion across the ORR catchment

    Extend mass transit spines so that a majority of CURE employment centres sit within a short walk of high-frequency rail.

  • Last-mile feeder and unified ticketing

    Feeder fleets and a single fare product across operators to remove the interchange penalty.

  • Continuous walkway and cycling grid

    Protected pedestrian and cycle networks along arterial and collector roads.

Urban logistics

Freight consolidation, night movement and clean last-mile delivery so goods movement does not compromise the net-zero target.

  • Peripheral freight consolidation centres

    Move break-bulk to the ORR edge and run electric last-mile into the core.

  • Night-time goods movement windows

    Aligned with the Midnight Metropolis framing to decongest daytime arterials.

Urban redesign & retrofitting

Retrofit the existing built stock — the majority of 2047's city already exists — for energy, water and heat performance.

  • Energy retrofit code for existing buildings

    Performance standards and financing for commercial and public building stock.

  • Heat-resilient public realm

    Shade, tree cover and cool surfaces mapped against urban heat island data.

Musi river redevelopment

Restore the Musi as an ecological and civic spine through the core, with interception of untreated flows.

  • Sewerage interception and diversion

    Stop untreated discharge into the river channel before frontage development.

  • Riverfront public realm and resettlement

    Frontage redevelopment with rehousing commitments for displaced households.

    How we'd verify this: Track against rehousing counts and compensation disclosures.

Sustainable water & circular sewerage

Circular design: treat, reuse and return. Sewage treatment capacity sized to the 2047 population, not today's.

  • Full STP coverage across the core

    100% treatment of generated sewage with tertiary reuse for industry and parks.

  • Lake and groundwater recharge programme

    Restore urban lakes as recharge and flood-buffer infrastructure.

Spatial Intelligence Platform

A single geospatial substrate for planning, permitting and service delivery across state departments.

  • Unified state geospatial data layer

    Cadastre, utilities, transit and land-use in one queryable platform.

  • Open access for planners and the public

    Published APIs so civic bodies and researchers can build on the same base map.

Telangana Scientific Return Programme

Bring senior Telangana-origin researchers and technologists back into state labs, universities and industry.

  • Return fellowships and lab start-up grants

    Multi-year packages tied to a host institution and a research agenda.

IT & Global Capability Centre establishment

Make Hyderabad the lowest-friction place in India to stand up and scale a GCC.

  • Plug-and-play GCC campuses

    Pre-fitted floorplates with power, connectivity and compliance pre-cleared.

  • GCC talent pipeline with universities

    Curriculum and internship compacts with anchor employers.
