GHMC Budget | Hyderabad, Jan. 31 (Maxim News): AIMIM Nampally MLA Majid Hussain on Saturday raised sharp concerns over the GHMC Budget 2026 27 during the GHMC Council meeting, questioning both its size and utilisation.

Speaking in the council, Majid Hussain said the Rs 11,460 crore Budget for the year 2026-27 was inadequate after the merger of surrounding municipalities.

Majid Hussain stated that Greater Hyderabad had become India’s largest municipal corporation and required a budget of at least Rs 20,000 crore.

Hussain urged the GHMC Commissioner to prioritise property tax collection, stating it would strengthen the corporation’s financial position.

Majid said improved tax collection would directly benefit civic services and infrastructure development.
