CURRENT

Many plots south of Hyderabad are still advertised as "near Pharma City". The Pharma City that was planned in 2018 is not being built in that form. The land acquired for it has become part of Bharat Future City, and parts of it are in court.

At a glance

What it wasA planned pharmaceutical cluster near Mucherla, announced at up to 19,000 acres, announced in March 2018, given National Investment and Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ) status by the Centre in December 2019
What changedIn February 2024 the State said it would drop the single Pharma City and build pharma villages elsewhere (first ones proposed in Vikarabad, Medak and Nalgonda). The government later told the High Court the project had not been formally cancelled
The land nowAbout 14,000 acres acquired earlier (about 10,000 in Yacharam mandal, 4,000 in Kandukur mandal) was handed to TGIIC and is now tied to Bharat Future City
StatusOriginal Pharma City: not proceeding as planned. Land: in use for Future City, partly disputed
Last checkedOctober 2026

The disputes

  • Over 150 writ petitions on the land acquisition were being heard by the Telangana High Court in September 2024.
  • In July 2026 a revenue officer confirmed a court stay covering about 2,000 acres in Medipalli and Kurmaddi villages of Yacharam mandal, where officials were taking possession for Future City.

What it means if you are buying here

  • "Near Pharma City" is no longer a meaningful selling point. Ask what is actually planned next to the plot today.
  • Check the survey number on Bhu Bharati and with the revenue office: is it inside land acquired or notified for Pharma City or Future City? Is there a court case?
  • Farm plots and agricultural land here are only as good as their title and access road. Visit with the documents in hand.
