Under the plan, Hyderabad aims to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2034, supported by a comprehensive carbon footprint audit to be conducted across the city.
5-Year Plan to Shift Industries Out of Urban Hyderabad
A key highlight of the Hyderabad Net Zero plan is a five-year strategy to relocate industries and factories from the urban core to peri-urban zones.
The move is expected to:
- Reduce pollution levels
- Improve urban living conditions
- Promote planned industrial growth
- Support sustainable city development
Officials indicated that urban Hyderabad could eventually see minimal industrial presence within the next five years.
Major Sustainability Initiatives Announced
The government’s environmental roadmap includes several large-scale projects:
- Revitalisation of the Musi River
- Restoration of lakes across the city
- Strengthening water and energy infrastructure
- Establishment of HYDRAA, a dedicated environmental policing unit
These initiatives aim to transform Hyderabad into a cleaner and more resilient city.
Push for Green Mobility and Infrastructure
The Hyderabad Net Zero emissions plan also focuses heavily on green transport:
- Taxes on electric vehicles removed, boosting adoption
- Over 200,000 autorickshaws being retrofitted with greener alternatives
- Replacement of 3,500+ RTC buses with electric models
- Expansion of Hyderabad Metro from 71 km to over 200 km
These measures are expected to significantly cut transport-related emissions.
Energy Demand and Economic Vision
According to the government, energy remains central to economic growth:
- Current average consumption: 16,610 MW per day
- Peak demand expected to exceed 19,000 MW this year
- Projected demand by 2034: over 34,000 MW
- Around 25% of energy sourced from green power
Telangana aims to grow into a $1 trillion economy by 2034 and $3 trillion by 2047, with sustainability at the core of its strategy.
Three-Zone Development Model
The state has introduced a strategic spatial framework:
- CURE Zone – Core Urban Region Economy within the Outer Ring Road
- PURE Zone – Manufacturing hub between ORR and Regional Ring Road
- RARE Zone – Focused on future growth corridors
This model is designed to balance economic expansion with environmental protection.
The Hyderabad Net Zero emissions plan and 5-year industry relocation strategy reflects a bold vision to transform the city into a sustainable global hub. With green mobility, infrastructure upgrades, and environmental restoration projects, the roadmap aims to ensure cleaner growth and improved quality of life for residents.
