The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), recently expanded to cover 2,053 square kilometers, is likely to be divided into two or three smaller corporations after February 2026. This speculation is fueled by GHMC Commissioner R.V. Karnan's statements and the appointment of two Additional Commissioners overseeing clusters of zones. These Additional Commissioners are expected to head the future corporations, with official sources indicating the GHMC's current form will cease to exist post-February when the present council's term ends and new elections are anticipated.
