Moinabad, Hyderabad – In a major move set to reshape Hyderabad’s agricultural trade landscape, the Telangana government is gearing up to shift the city’s iconic Gudimalkapur wholesale market to a newly proposed integrated market in Aziznagar, on the outskirts of the city. This plan aims to decongest the city core and provide a modern, well-connected trading hub for vegetables, fruits, and flowers.
The Rangareddy District Collector has already initiated and completed the land acquisition process for the new facility. Around 150 acres of government land located in Survey No. 176 of Aziznagar, Moinabad Mandal, have been identified and proposed for the construction of the market, which now awaits final approval from the state government.
From Crowded Lanes to Spacious Facilities
The Gudimalkapur market, which has been operational for decades near Mehdipatnam, has long served as Hyderabad’s main wholesale center. However, with rapid urbanization and the rise of residential and commercial density in the area, the market’s existing infrastructure has become inadequate to handle current demand.
In search of a suitable location to relieve congestion and better serve wholesale traders and farmers, officials surveyed lands in Shankarpalli, Shamshabad, Moinabad, and Gandipet mandals. The government ultimately found the Aziznagar revenue region, situated right next to the Outer Ring Road (ORR), to be most suitable for logistics, accessibility, and expansion.
A Boon for Farmers and Traders
The proposed integrated market is expected to serve a large region including farmers from Vikarabad, Kodangal, Tandur, Parigi, and Chevella, as well as bordering areas of Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, Sangareddy, and Medak districts. Officials believe that the proximity to ORR will not only improve access but will also ensure timely transportation of perishable goods, enhancing freshness and market competitiveness.
Alongside market halls, the plan includes provisions for ample parking, cold storage, sorting facilities, and dedicated zones for flowers, fruits, and vegetables—aimed at modernizing supply chains and reducing wastage.
Awaiting Government Nod
While the Collector has submitted the complete proposal and land documentation, a final decision from the Telangana state government is awaited. Once cleared, the project is expected to take shape rapidly, with the state viewing this as a key infrastructural upgrade for the farming community and wholesale trade ecosystem.
If approved, the Aziznagar market will emerge as one of the largest and most modern agricultural wholesale centers in the state, signaling a major shift in how Telangana connects its farmers to urban buyers.
