This Is How Three Hyderabad Municipal Corporations Have Been Structured Into Zones and Circles

Hyderabad: In a major administrative overhaul, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has been reorganised, with the Telangana government carving out two new civic bodies — Cyberabad Municipal Corporation and Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation — to improve urban governance across the rapidly expanding metropolitan region.

The restructuring aims to streamline administration and enhance service delivery in and around Hyderabad, as urban growth continues at a rapid pace across the state.

The former GHMC’s expanded area (after merging 27 surrounding municipalities) has now been divided among the three new corporations. In total, there are 60 circles distributed across the three municipal corporations.
