Indiramma Towers Planned in Four More Telangana Cities

Telangana Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy on Wednesday announced plans to establish Indiramma Towers in the municipal corporation limits of Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Nalgonda and Warangal. The towers will follow the model being developed in Hyderabad’s Core Urban Region under the state government’s flagship housing scheme.

The announcement came during a press conference attended by IT and Rangareddy district in-charge minister D Sridhar Babu. Ponguleti urged beneficiaries, officials and elected representatives to participate in Deepavali celebrations marking the completion of construction work on 221,500 Indiramma houses.

The minister said 450,000 houses had been completed during the first phase, with housewarming ceremonies conducted for 221,500 units. A further 190,000 houses were at different stages of construction and were expected to be completed soon. The overall housing programme has an estimated cost of Rs. 400 bn, and funds are being transferred to beneficiaries’ bank accounts every Monday.

Ponguleti also directed officials to undertake land resurveys in the presence of farmers to address land-related disputes. He said the government aimed to provide land-owning farmers with comprehensive and secure land records and passbooks comparable to Aadhaar cards.

BJP MP Eatala Rajender called for relief for poor families who had built houses in slum settlements several decades ago. He urged the government to consider legal amendments where necessary, resolve issues linked to GO No 59, and review restrictions affecting residents who had built houses near Hyderabad after securing permissions.

Separately, the Telangana Housing department held an e-lottery to reallocate 1,741 houses across 14 Assembly constituencies after original allottees were found ineligible or did not claim the benefits. The exercise selected 875 additional beneficiaries, whose details will be verified through field visits by officials.
