Hyderabad: The Telangana government has operationalised the Hyderabad Industrial Lands Transformation Policy (HILTP), allowing the conversion of industrial land within and near the Outer Ring Road (ORR) to ‘multi-use zones.’

The policy aims to reduce pollution in the state capital and protect it from environmental crisis by shifting polluting industries out of the city.

An online portalwas also launched on May 23 to allow eligible industrial unit holders to submit, monitor, and track their applications online.

In an order issued on May 22, the government authorised the Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited (TGIIC) as the nodal agency for implementing the policy.

As per the guidelines furnished by the TGIIC, ‘industrial park’ refers to the 21 industrial parks and standalone units within the Core Urban Region (CURE) of Hyderabad.

This includes industrial zones like Nacharam, Mallapur, Cherlapally, Moula Ali, Uppal, Sanathnagar, Medchal, Kushaiguda, Patancheru, Hayathnagar, Kukatpally, Jeedimetla, Balanagar, Gandhinagar, Pashamylaram, Ramachandrapuram, Chandulalabaradari and Katedan.

The processing fee for the conversion of land has been designated as follows:

Only the industrial plots/units that have been properly set up and where sale deeds have been executed are eligible for conversion under the policy.

All applicable charges and dues (Extension of Time, mutation, property tax, sub-division charges, delay condonation fee and any other dues as per TGIIC regulations) have to be cleared before the application is taken up by the Scrutiny Committee.

Owners must also submit the following documents with their online application:

• Sale deed by TGIIC (erstwhile APIIC) / Directorate of Industries/ Government
• Encumbrance certificate
• Latest property tax receipt
• Dated site photographs (colour)
• Firm registration
• Identity Proof (PAN / Aadhaar)
• Notarised undertaking on Rs 100 non-judicial stamp paper for consent for payment of the requisite fee as per norms.
• Notarised undertaking on Rs 100 non-judicial stamp paper for consent to give / handover the affected land portion, if any, for infrastructure improvement, as per norms
• Any other document as deemed necessary

To encourage the prospective applicants, people who are paying 10 per cent of the Development Impact Fee (DIF) on or before June 30, 2026, will be able to process their application based on existing Sub-Registrar Office rates.

Accordingly, the first instalment, or 45 per cent of the DIF, must be paid within 45 days of the Demand Notice, and the second instalment (45 per cent) of the DIF shall be paid within the next 45 days.

Units that have obtained approval under HILTP for shifting to a new location will be given priority for allotment of an industrial plot at industrial parks outside the Outer Ring Road (ORR).

Moreover, the units, after obtaining approval for multi-use conversion, will be allowed to run the industry/unit in its present location for a maximum period of one year.

A dedicated support and grievance redressal mechanism has been established to assist applicants and departmental officials throughout the application process.

Any issues can be flagged to the helpline number 7729-983215 between 10 am and 6 pm from Monday to Saturday.
