Hyderabad’s urban governance is set for a major overhaul with the Telangana government bringing into force a new law that seeks to integrate property registration, mutation, taxation and civic permissions through a common digital framework, while creating mechanisms to coordinate the functioning of three municipal corporations and key urban agencies.

The Core Urban Region (Integrated Governance) Act, 2026, which replaces the nearly seven-decade-old GHMC Act, came into force on October 2. The law covers the Core Urban Region (CURE) spread over 2,053 sq. km within the Outer Ring Road (ORR) limits across parts of Hyderabad, Rangareddy and Medchal-Malkajgiri districts. The region has been reorganised into the GHMC, Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) and Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation (MMC).

A CURE Apex Governance Council, headed by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, will provide an institutional mechanism to address issues cutting across municipal boundaries. Representatives of the three corporations, police, Revenue Department, HMDA, Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board, power utilities, Metro Rail, TSRTC and HYDRAA will be able to deliberate on common urban issues, officials said.
