What Happened on June 10

Following the launch, the Chief Minister Revanth Reddy performed a puja in his newly designated chamber, unveiled the official FCDA logo, and launched its web portal. Prioritizing immediate administrative rollout, the Chief Minister handed over the Letter of Award to the consulting firm tasked with creating the comprehensive master plan for the Future City jurisdiction and signed documents on stage to formally absorb several surrounding villages into the new development zone.

The Building: Record Speed, Sustainability Focus

The FCDA headquarters itself had been completed in record time — in less than six months — owing to the passion, attention to detail, hard work and dedication of everyone involved. The FCDA headquarters has achieved a significant milestone even before its formal inauguration by securing recognition from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) as an environmentally sustainable building. The office has been classified as a Net Zero Building in view of its eco-friendly design, use of environmentally safe construction materials, scientific rainwater harvesting systems and renewable energy initiatives. As part of its sustainability initiatives, the office will house a 15-kilowatt solar power plant to generate clean energy and reduce carbon emissions. Two electric vehicle charging stations have also been installed for officials and representatives of multinational companies visiting the facility. A bio-digester plant has been set up to convert organic waste generated on the campus into biogas and organic manure.

Master Plan Work Order: DP Architects Selected

The Telangana government has selected Singapore-based DP Architects to prepare the master plan for Bharat Future City, a large-scale urban development project being developed under the Future City Development Authority (FCDA). The firm emerged as the lowest bidder among six participants in the tender process and is expected to submit the master plan within nine months. In the initial phase, the planning exercise will focus on around 30,000 acres, where land use, infrastructure requirements and development priorities will be mapped in detail. Out of this, nearly 13,000 acres have been identified as the priority development zone. The project will include a life sciences hub (4,000 acres), an electric vehicle and energy park (1,976 acres), an electronics and advanced manufacturing zone (2,177 acres), a residential zone (2,477 acres), data centre hub (313 acres), education and university zone (255 acres), an AI city (403 acres), and a health city (594 acres).

Village Absorption and Zone Expansion

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy assured that the government would examine the requests being received to merge more villages into the prestigious Bharat Future City project and take an appropriate decision. He gave in-principle approval for the inclusion of certain villages and stated that a decision on the remaining villages would be taken after holding discussions with all stakeholders concerned. Proposed villages in Kandukur Mandal are Nedunur, Bachupalli, Jaitwaram, Pulimamidi, Dhannaram, Chippalapalli and Muralinagar. Pendmala, Subhanpur, Uppugadda Thanda, Thuprakurdu, Kolla Padkal, Mansanpally, Ramchandraguda, Gangaram & Enditanda are villages from Maheshwaram Mandal.

Weekly Oversight and Strategic Direction

The project will be managed by deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka and IT minister Sridhar Babu who will have to visit Future City on a weekly basis, said CM Revanth Reddy. Bharat Future City is being developed as a Net-Zero city with a focus on sustainability, innovation, economic growth, and global standards of urban planning.

What Comes Next

The formal work order is expected to be handed over during the inauguration of the Future City Development Authority (FCDA) office at Meerkhanpet on June 10. The firm has been tasked with preparing a comprehensive master plan for the project within a period of nine months. This places the master plan delivery target at March 2027, though the master plan covering this entire zone will not be finalised until December 2026, six months after the June groundbreaking according to official timelines. As the nodal agency responsible for planning, coordination, and execution, the Future City Development Authority will play a central role in driving the development of Bharat Future City. Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka and Industry Minister D Sridhar Babu would conduct weekly reviews of the city's growth.

Frequently asked questions

What is the total size of Bharat Future City?

The FCDA zone covers 765.28 sq km spanning 56 revenue villages across seven mandals south of the Outer Ring Road, with the initial development phase focusing on around 30,000 acres, of which nearly 13,000 acres have been identified as the priority development zone.

Why does FCDA need a master plan if work has already started?

The Future City Development Authority (FCDA) master plan land Hyderabad layer covers 765.28 sq km spanning 56 revenue villages across seven mandals south of the Outer Ring Road, governed exclusively by the FCDA. The proposed FCDA region currently falls under multiple planning jurisdictions. Parts of the northern section overlap with areas covered by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority, while the central portion includes the proposed Hyderabad Pharma City. Large stretches of the southern region continue to be predominantly rural and lack a statutory land-use framework. A unified master plan will help avoid fragmented development and provide a coordinated roadmap for future growth.

How many new villages are being added to the FCDA zone?

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy assured that the government would examine the requests being received to merge more villages into the prestigious Bharat Future City project and take an appropriate decision. He gave in-principle approval for the inclusion of certain villages and stated that a decision on the remaining villages would be taken after holding discussions with all stakeholders concerned. Specific villages proposed for inclusion include those from Kandukur and Maheshwaram mandals.

Who oversees the FCDA and ensures accountability?

The authority will be chaired by Revanth Reddy himself and include 11 senior officials from various departments, forming a high-powered decision-making body. The project will be managed by deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka and IT minister Sridhar Babu who will have to visit Future City on a weekly basis.

What makes the FCDA headquarters building unique?

Built as a strategic command centre for the future development of IT, artificial intelligence and life sciences clusters in Future City, the FCDA office has been equipped with modern workstations modelled on leading IT and software companies. The FCDA headquarters has achieved a significant milestone even before its formal inauguration by securing recognition from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) as an environmentally sustainable building. The office has been classified as a Net Zero Building in view of its eco-friendly design, use of environmentally safe construction materials, scientific rainwater harvesting systems and renewable energy initiatives.

When will the master plan be completed?

The firm has been tasked with preparing a comprehensive master plan for the project within a period of nine months from the June 10, 2026 work order, targeting March 2027. However, the master plan covering this entire zone will not be finalised until December 2026 according to some official statements regarding finalization timelines.
