The pits? Rainwater rule is a runoff
The New Indian Express Hyderabad
|July 17, 2025
GHMC issued 69,575 building permits between 2020 & 25, only 23,239 constructed RWHS
As Hyderabad grapples with water shortages and drying borewells, rainwater harvesting remains largely ignored, despite clear mandates from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).
Between 2020 and 2025, GHMC issued 69,575 building permits. Of these, 23,239 required rainwater harvesting structures (RWHS), yet only 33% complied. In 2024-25 alone, just 4,578 out of 11,509 approved buildings had soak pits. Only 2,036 received occupancy certificates, even though RWHS completion is mandatory.
