Overview
- BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao, in an open letter on November 30, alleged the Hyderabad Industrial Land Transformation Policy could cause a ₹5 lakh crore loss by permitting conversions at 30% of SRO value, contrasting it with earlier requirements he said were 100–200% of SRO.
- He questioned 45-day fast-track approvals and said relocation of polluting industries outside the Outer Ring Road is voluntary with no identified sites or mandatory environmental safeguards.
- Rama Rao cited about 9,300 acres across clusters including Balanagar, Jeedimetla, Sanathnagar, Uppal, Mallapur, Ramachandrapuram and Hayathnagar that were originally allotted at concessional rates for industry.
- BJP floor leader A. Maheshwar Reddy valued the targeted land at ₹6.29 lakh crore using recent HMDA auction prices in Kokapet as a benchmark and alleged it was being given away for roughly ₹5,000 crore.
- Reddy challenged Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy to a public debate and sought a public audit and revocation of GO‑27, while reports did not note a detailed government rebuttal or acceptance of the debate.
