Hyderabad: The long-pending Hyderabad Pharma City project has officially gained fresh momentum after the Telangana government moved forward with plans to revive and develop the mega industrial project under the jurisdiction of the newly formed Future City Development Authority (FCDA).
According to official project documents and recent government planning activity, the proposed Hyderabad Green Pharma City will continue to be developed in the same broad location in the Rangareddy district that was originally identified during the previous government.
Project to Come Under FCDA Jurisdiction
An official Request for Proposal (RFP) document issued for engineering consultancy of the project states that:
“The Hyderabad Green Pharma City project area is administratively located in Rangareddy District of Telangana and falls under the jurisdiction of the Future City Development Authority (FCDA).”
The development is significant because the project is now being linked with the Telangana government’s larger Future City vision, which aims to create next-generation industrial, technology, residential, and infrastructure corridors around Hyderabad.
13,540 Acres Planned for Mega Pharma Cluster
Official documents reveal that the total proposed development area for Hyderabad Green Pharma City is approximately:
- 13,540 acres
The massive industrial cluster is planned across multiple villages and mandals in Rangareddy district.
The identified project area reportedly includes villages across:
- Amangal
- Ibrahimpatnam
- Kandukur
- Maheshwaram
- Yacharam
- And nearby surrounding regions
The terrain has been described as largely suitable for large-scale industrial and infrastructure development.
Strategic Location Near ORR and Airport
According to the planning documents, the project area is strategically located between:
- Srisailam Highway (NH-765)
- Nagarjunasagar Road
- Beyond Hyderabad’s Outer Ring Road (ORR)
The project is also expected to benefit from proximity to:
- Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad
- Upcoming Regional Ring Road (RRR)
- Future radial road connectivity
- Logistics and industrial corridors
Officials say the location offers strong multimodal connectivity for pharmaceutical manufacturing, exports, logistics, and industrial expansion.
One of India’s Largest Pharma Industrial Projects
Hyderabad Pharma City was originally envisioned as one of the world’s largest integrated pharmaceutical manufacturing clusters.
The project aims to bring together:
- Bulk drug manufacturing
- Pharmaceutical industries
- Research & Development centers
- Chemical and biotech industries
- Warehousing and logistics
- Worker housing and urban infrastructure
The project had earlier witnessed delays due to land acquisition concerns, environmental issues, and local resistance in certain areas.
Congress Government Revives Project
The Congress-led Telangana government has now restarted planning activity related to the project, with officials positioning it as part of the broader industrial and economic expansion strategy for Hyderabad.
The latest RFP documents indicate that the government is moving ahead with:
- Engineering consultancy
- Master planning
- Infrastructure assessment
- Connectivity planning
- Industrial zoning studies
The integration of the project under the FCDA framework suggests that Hyderabad Pharma City may eventually become a key component of the state’s proposed Future City ecosystem.
Boost for Telangana’s Pharma Industry
Hyderabad already holds a dominant position in India’s pharmaceutical and life sciences sector.
The city is home to:
- Genome Valley
- Major vaccine manufacturers
- Global pharmaceutical companies
- Bulk drug industries
- Biotechnology research centers
Industry experts believe the revival of Hyderabad Pharma City could further strengthen Telangana’s role as one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical manufacturing hubs.
Focus on Infrastructure and Future Expansion
The project documents also highlight plans for:
- Road connectivity
- Rail access
- Air cargo support
- Utility infrastructure
- Water and drainage systems
- Industrial logistics integration
Officials say the proposed Pharma City is being designed as a next-generation industrial ecosystem with global standards for manufacturing and urban planning.
With the project now moving forward under the FCDA framework, Hyderabad Pharma City is once again emerging as one of Telangana’s biggest industrial development projects.
