Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's Budget 2025 aligns with Telangana's focus on new airports, housing, tourism, upskilling, and agriculture.
A few of the announcements made by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman during the Budget 2025-26 speech on Saturday (February 1, 2025) are in sync with the agendas floated by the Telangana government in the past — new airports in Telangana, middle-income housing, tourism focused on religious tourism, upskilling, encouraging farmers to adopt diverse crops and other aspects.
The Union Minister said that a modified UDAN scheme will be launched to enhance regional connectivity to 120 new destinations and carry four crore passengers in the next 10 years.
After Congress came to power in 2023, Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy announced that the State is working on three greenfield airports and revival of three brownfield airports.
The three greenfield airports are in Jakranpally in Nizamabad district, Gudibanga village in Adakkal mandal of Mahabubnagar and Bhadradri Kothagudem. The airports whose revival was planned are in Mammnoor village of Warangal Urban, Basanthnagar in Peddapally and Adilabad district. Of all, the State government has put in efforts towards Mammnoor airport.
Regarding boost to tourism, the Union Minister said that MUDRA loans would be provided for homestays. “Continuing with the emphasis on places of spiritual and religious significance in the July Budget, there will be a special focus on destinations related to the life and times of Lord Buddha”.
The concept of homestays was mentioned by Tourism Minister Jupally Krishna Rao when he spoke about the policy in the Assembly session in December, 2024.
While reviewing Telangana Tourism Policy a few days ago, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy spoke about the significance of temple tourism and directed officials that a Buddhist circuit has to be developed connecting all Buddhist tourist places in the State.
