Telangana Revises Land Market Values From June 5, 2026: What It Means for Hyderabad Property

Telangana's revised land market values took effect on June 5, 2026, raising the government-notified value used to calculate stamp duty and registration fees on property across the state. The revision was applied across all 144 Sub-Registrar Offices (SROs) in Telangana through separate rural and urban committees, and was announced by Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy following a State Cabinet decision, according to Telangana Today and Deccan Chronicle.

For Hyderabad property buyers, the change is significant: the "market value" is the floor price the government records a transaction at, and a higher market value means higher stamp duty and registration charges on the same property — even though the duty rate itself was not increased.

How big are the increases? The four-slab structure

The revision was structured into four slabs, reported consistently by Munsif Daily, Sakshi Post and other outlets:

Officials cited in the reporting said most areas fall in the 25%, 50% or 75% bands, roughly 10% of areas saw no revision because their notified values already reflected market prices, and only select high-value Hyderabad locations were placed in the 100% slab.

Which Hyderabad areas are most affected?

The steepest increases landed on areas near the Outer Ring Road (ORR), major highways and radial roads, and on premium growth corridors. Hyderabad's western IT corridor saw the sharpest revisions — in localities such as Gachibowli, Guttala Begumpet, Raidurg Paigah, Nanakramguda and Izzatnagar, rates rose from roughly ₹11–13 crore per acre to ₹19–20 crore per acre, Hyderabad Mail reported. By contrast, mature, already-expensive localities such as Banjara Hills and Film Nagar saw little to no change.

By property type, the reporting indicates agricultural land and vacant plots rose between 50% and 100%, ORR-corridor plots increased by up to 100% (Kokapet's plot values roughly doubled from about ₹4 crore to ₹8 crore per acre), while apartment and flat values were revised more modestly, by 10% to 20%. This continues a trend our newsroom tracked through the lead-up — see Hyderabad's western corridor and the expected spike in registration rates.

Did stamp duty rates go up?

No. The government revised the base value on which charges are calculated, not the stamp-duty or registration rate. Buyer costs rise only because that base value is now higher. Reports of a hike in the duty rate itself were not borne out — the percentage rate remained unchanged.

Why the government revised values now

The stated rationale, attributed to Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, was to ensure transparency in property transactions, align government-notified values with market realities, and improve revenue mobilisation by closing the widening gap between official rates and prevailing open-market prices. The reassessment focused heavily on high-growth regions around Hyderabad — Ranga Reddy, Medchal-Malkajgiri and Sangareddy districts. The Hans India reported the government targeted at least ₹2,000 crore in additional registration revenue for the current financial year. This revision had been signalled for months — our earlier coverage tracked the government's preparation of the revision guidelines and the earlier estimates of a 30–50% hike.

What it means for buyers, sellers and investors

Buyers transacting in ORR corridors and the western IT belt will see noticeably higher registration costs; those in mature, unchanged localities are largely unaffected. For sellers, higher notified values narrow the gap between recorded and actual sale prices.
