In a move aimed at bolstering the city’s water supply network and catering to its rapidly expanding suburbs, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy announced the launch of a series of major drinking water projects worth ₹8,858 crore on September 7, 2025. The announcement was made during a press conference held in Hyderabad.
The project, which is part of the Telangana government’s ongoing efforts to improve urban infrastructure, includes the construction of new water treatment plants, laying of pipelines, and the development of water storage facilities. These initiatives are expected to not only enhance the quality of drinking water but also ensure its consistent supply across the city.
The project’s total cost is estimated at ₹8,858 crore. The funds for this initiative will be sourced from both state and central government resources as well as international funding bodies. The projects are slated to be completed within the next five years.
This announcement has been met with a positive response from the residents of Hyderabad, who have long expressed concerns about the city’s water supply issues. However, some environmental groups have raised concerns about the potential impact on local ecosystems due to the construction activities associated with these projects.
The Chief Minister reassured the citizens that necessary measures will be taken to minimize environmental disruption and promised regular updates on the project’s progress. He also encouraged Hyderabadis to cooperate in conserving water and reducing wastage as part of a larger initiative towards sustainable water management.
