State with the highest Urban Population and Growth — Urbanization has been an engine of inclusive economic growth. Urban agglomerations propel economic growth by bringing together interrelated industries in one geographical area, promoting positive externalities and reducing transaction costs, leading to new vistas of opportunities, especially for rural migrants.

The State of Telangana is one of the rapidly urbanizing states in the country, along with a brisk economic transformation. Hyderabad alone accounts for a lion’s share of the State’s urban population which has become a growth center for Telangana. In addition, cities like Warangal, Nizamabad and Karimnagar are quickly changing the urban landscape of the State. As per 201 1 Census, 1.36 Cr., i.e., 38.9% of the State’s total population of 3.5 Cr., lives in urban areas.

Temporal analysis of urbanization in Telangana reveals that there has been continuous increase in the proportion of urban population in India. About 21% of the State’s population was in urban areas in 1971, as against the national urban population of 18%. However, there was a steep rise in urban population by 1981 to 25.3% mainly due to the increase in population in Hyderabad. Further, there has been a substantial jump in urban population during the period 2001 —201 1 , from 31.8% to 38.9%. Thus, the growthin urban population in the State is much higher than all India.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Physical Infrastructure is the lifeline of a city and a key indicator for the growth and development not just from an economic sense but also from a quality of life perspective. Good infrastructure like road networks, transport network, drainage and sewerage system all contribute to improving the quality of living and thereby helping the economic growth of the citizens as well as the city as a whole.

With a foundation of strong policy decisions and focussed investment in these areas, the Municipal Administration and Urban Development department under Government of Telangana has continued bettering the infrastructure with a vision for the future making it the fastest growing city in India.

SRDP

Strategic Road Development Project of GHMC

Started by GHMC in 2015 with a futuristic view of having signal free traffic movement in the city, Strategic Road Development Project was started with an initial outlay of

₹25000 Cr. The project aims to minimise travel time and increase average journey speed by synchronising free movement across dense corridors.

HRDCL was constituted in March, 2013 for preparation of comprehensive plans for development of model road corridors for all major roads in Hyderabad.

Since 2020, HRDCL has taken up development of greenfield missing link corridors and slip roads. These slip roads serve as the missing links between major corridors thereby providing the shortest routes for travel. This has not only reduced the travel time and traffic congestion, but also developed greenfield areas.

A total of 7 missing link roads covering a distance of 6.69 Kms and amounting to ₹114.97 Cr were completed in FY 2021-22. Apart from this, 15 other missing link corridors have also been completed since 2019 spreading across 17.66 kms in length at a cost of ₹188.93 Cr.

With this, Phase-1 of Missing Link Roads project is completed with 22 green field roads with a total length of 24.35 Kms at a cost of ₹303.90 Cr.

As per the Comprehensive Traffic Study (CTS), passenger trips crossing Musi River are expected to increase from the existing 36 lakh trips to 60 lakh trips in 2031. With an idea to provide effective transportation connection from Southern to Northern parts across Musi river, the Government of Telangana has approved construction of 14 of bridges across Musi, Esa & Musa Rivers at various locations within Hyderabad city. HRDCL has been entrusted with the responsibility to execute this project and the Government link roads in

Hyderabad has, over the years, been one of the most sought after destinations not only for IT companies but also for all types of commercial and residential real estate development. This is attributed to the quick and seamless building permission system in Telangana. It is a testament to the planning department of Telangana that the real estate market has been one of the fastest growing markets in the country with Hyderabad leading the State’s investments. Despite nationwide slowdown in real estate due to Covid-19, Hyderabad recorded the highest number of housing sales in the first quarter of 2022 as per a study conducted by Anarock Property Consultants.

There are majorly three different departments that are responsible for planning and providing building permissions in Telangana, namely Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) and Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DT&CP). The Government of Telangana introduced a transparent and unified building permission software called Telangana State Building and Layout Permission Self Certification System (TS- bPASS) replacing the existing DPMS software for ease and transparency.

(30)

Planning: Innovation that Eased the Building Construction Process

Building Permissions:

In a bid to issue seamless and hassle free ‘building-plan approvals’ to citizens, digital application TS-bPASS was launched in November 2020. 1,03,767 applications have been processed through TS-bPASS since its inception to 31 March, 2022. Number of applications processed within 21 days increased from less than 40% in March 2021, to more than 70% in April 2022.

Key Features of TS-bPASS:

TS-bPASS

TS-bPASS is a revolutionary systemic reform undertaken by the Government of Telangana to provide time bound approvals through self certification and single window system.

• Instant registration of plots up to 75 Sq yards.

• Instant approval for plots up to 600 Sq yards and ground plus 2 floors, which is followed by post verification by circle Town planning officials within 21 days

• 689 instant registrations and 9752 instant approvals have been given so far

• Registration fee ₹1/- with option to pay along with first property tax assessment

• Instant approval: applicable for plots up to 500 Sq Mtr up to 10 mtr height (Individual Residential Building)

• No mortgage up to 200 sq. mtr plots and height up to 7 mts

MA&UD has been making concerted efforts towards in- creasing the green cover of the state. As a result of this, Telangana has emerged as one of the top states in the country to have increased its total forest cover. For the second time in a row, Hyderabad has bagged the ‘Tree City of the World’ tag from the FAO wing of United Nations and Arbor day Foundation. The efforts are not limited to increasing the forest cover alone, but to also increase the tree cover in urban areas and out-of-forest lands.

As a matter of fact, municipal commissioners have been mandated to earmark 10% of their total budget for green action (green budget) in the next financial year.

Hyderabad has topped the mega cities that gained max- imum greencover with 48.66 Sq kms in a decade in the country as per the report of teh Forest Survey of India 2021.
