Telangana Defends Industrial Land Policy

The Telangana government is defending its new policy called HILT.

This policy aims to move polluting industries from Hyderabad to areas outside the city and allow the conversion of industrial lands for homes and businesses.

The government says this will make Hyderabad cleaner and earn a lot of money, around ₹10,776 crore.

They also said that the previous government's policy would have earned much less money.

The opposition parties, BRS and BJP, have called the policy a scam, but the government says it is transparent and open to investigation.

The government also mentioned that industrial groups have welcomed the policy, and it was something they had been asking for.

The policy is voluntary for now, but the government is considering making it mandatory for the most polluting industries.
