Hyderabad Zoo to Build One of India's Largest Aquariums
Imagine a giant underwater world coming to Hyderabad!
The Nehru Zoological Park is building a huge aquarium, like the biggest ones in India, with all sorts of amazing fish from all over the world.
It will cost a lot of money and be built with help from private companies.
The aquarium will have a tunnel you can walk through and see the fish swimming around.
The zoo already has some small aquariums, but this new one will be much bigger and better, and they hope it will be finished by 2026!
They're also building a special glass enclosure for tigers, so you can see them up close safely.
Nehru Zoological Park in Hyderabad will house one of India's largest aquariums.
The aquarium will display exotic fish species from around the globe.
The project is estimated to cost Rs 50 crore and will be developed through a PPP model.
The aquarium will incorporate a tunnel-style structure for visitor viewing.
A tiger enclosure with a bullet-proof glass barrier is also planned.
