Azamabad file moves; proof doesn’t
A report alleges a prime Azamabad parcel near RTC Crossroads is being carved up for a private mill for ₹87.44 crore. The public record, so far, confirms the policy — not the handover.
The policy is on record; the parcel’s paper trail is not.
A Telugu daily says 17,261 sq yd at Azamabad Industrial Area — opposite Bus Bhavan, beside Bavarchi — is set to be split: 15,445 sq yd to Dayaram Surajmal Lohiti Oil Mills and 1,816 sq yd to Oilfed, with a freehold charge fixed at ₹87.44 crore. It adds the company paid ₹8.74 crore and asked for handover and registration, and pegs ‘market value’ at ₹460–500 crore on an asserted ₹3 lakh/sq yd. Those are its claims; it did not publish the orders, survey or receipts it cites.
What the public record does show: Azamabad lease conversions are governed by G.O.Ms.No.19 (Aug 29, 2023). The Telangana High Court, in December 2025, upheld higher conversion charges where land-use conditions weren’t met and treated joint inspections as decisive. Another 2024 order sketches the same maze of old leases and terminations. None of these judgments establish that this RTC Crossroads/Oilfed parcel was allotted in 2026, that ₹87.44 crore was demanded or paid, or that any sale deed was registered.
Two local officials quoted on the record confirm only that the Industries Department sought a joint survey and that action on ‘the land’ followed departmental instructions; one said he lacked details. Useful context, not proof of a transfer.
If the Congress government in Telangana has converted this plot on the terms reported, there will be a paper trail the size of the file jacket: a May 22, 2026 handover order, a May 26 demand, June 20–24 survey and tahsildar reports, a July 9 letter to Oilfed, payment receipts, and a registered deed. Publish them. Until then, Azamabad has a policy on record and a lot of whispers doing the rounds — which, for a parcel this central, is not good enough.
