Telangana sets June 2028 deadline to finish Koheda Fruit Market

Construction work on the Koheda Integrated Fruit Market will finish completely by June 2, 2028, according to Telangana Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao. The first phase of the project is set to open earlier by March 2027.

Project Details

The new market covers an area of 239 acres in total. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy laid the foundation stone for the project in June of this year. Minister Rao held a review meeting about the construction pace at the State Secretariat in Hyderabad on Thursday. Agriculture Department Secretary K. Surendra Mohan and other officials also attended this meeting.

Action Plan

Officials must build proper infrastructure to store, sell, and send fruits to both domestic and international markets. Rahul Raj has been appointed as a Special Officer to track the daily work progress. Meanwhile, authorities plan to update contract terms so they can take strict action against construction companies if project deadlines are missed.

Context

Large public infrastructure projects often set phased deadlines to ensure early partial use before the entire facility opens to the public. Telangana State formation day falls on June 2, which marks the final completion target date for this market.
