Telangana Government Proposes Steep Hike in Property Tax

The Telangana government has proposed a steep hike in property tax, citing high property values in the western part of the city. The proposal, part of the Core Urban Region (Integrated Governance) Bill, 2026, is expected to affect home owners in the city. According to the proposal, the tax levied on the western part of the city is set to go up by several notches, owing to the high property values there. The hike is expected to generate significant revenue for the government, but has been met with opposition from home owners who are already grappling with market uncertainties. The proposal is now awaiting approval from the state legislature.
