If GO 111 is scrapped…

The question that homebuyers in Greater Hyderabad are pondering is whether to buy a house now or wait. With the previous BRS government’s decision to revoke GO 111, many hoped that homes in the outskirts would become more affordable. However, there is now uncertainty about what decision the current Congress government will take regarding GO 111. According to sources from the Secretariat, there is a possibility that the Revanth government will make a favourable decision on GO 111 soon.

There is an interesting discussion going on in Hyderabad’s real estate sector regarding GO 111. Until a year ago, the BRS government decided to lift the restrictions in the areas covered by GO 111. The KCR government had announced that construction could now take place in the areas under the GO 111 jurisdiction, as per the Hyderabad Metro Authority area regulations. As a result, it was believed that over 1.32 lakh acres of land in 84 villages within the GO 111 area would become available. However, the policies related to construction have not yet been finalized. This has led many who were looking to buy homes in Hyderabad to reconsider. Even though the Revanth government has been in power for over a year, no decision has been made on GO 111. According to Secretariat sources, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is expected to make a decision on the GO 111 areas as soon as he returns from his Davos trip.

According to official sources, the Revanth government may handle the decision taken by the previous BRS government in a favourable manner as much as possible. However, if that happens, it might appear as though Revanth’s current actions contradict what he said in the past. When the Triple One GO was revoked, Revanth Reddy had said that then CM KCR, KTR, Somesh Kumar, and Arvind Kumar should be tied to a pole and beaten at the Martyrs’ Memorial. Now, people are eagerly waiting to see whether Revanth, after becoming the CM, will change his stance or stand firm on his words.
