Telangana is making big investments to improve its livestock breeding and fisheries industries. A new Frozen Semen Bull Station is being set up in Kansanpally, Ranga Reddy district, at a cost of ₹21.06 crore. This facility will produce up to 10 lakh frozen semen doses every year, helping to improve the quality of dairy cattle in the State.
The announcement was made by Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on 19 March 2025, during the presentation of the State budget for the financial year 2025-26. The government has set aside ₹1,674 crore for the Animal Husbandry department to improve livestock health and breeding programs.
As part of these efforts, the Telangana Veterinary Vaccine Production Centre is being moved from Shanti Nagar, Hyderabad, to Mamidipalli. This relocation will include a large expansion, with ₹300 crore being invested in the project. An additional ₹100 crore will be used to buy advanced machinery for research and vaccine development. The upgraded centre will have vaccine production plants, a quality control unit, an animal testing lab, an R&D centre, an animal breeding centre, and residential quarters for staff.
To support the fisheries sector, the government plans to build an export-oriented wholesale fish market in Koheda, Ranga Reddy district. This project will cost ₹47 crore and will help Telangana export fish on a large scale, boosting the fisheries industry in the State.
These investments show Telangana’s strong commitment to modernising animal husbandry and fisheries. By improving these industries, the government aims to create better opportunities for farmers and livestock rearers, ensuring sustainable growth for the State.
