Ranga Reddy district administration issued a preliminary notification to acquire 796.28 acres in Bahadurguda, near Shamshabad airport, for an Integrated Mobility Hub. The site, near the Shamshabad-Thukkuguda Outer Service Road, is intended to support bullet train operations on Hyderabad-Mumbai, Hyderabad-Bengaluru and Hyderabad-Chennai via Amaravati corridors. Revenue officials have begun efforts to acquire 750 acres of government land and 46.28 acres of patta land. In February 2026, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced seven high-speed rail corridors, including Hyderabad-Pune, Hyderabad-Chennai and Hyderabad-Bengaluru.

The Telangana High Court ordered all parties to maintain status quo over disputed land parcels in Bahadurguda village near Shamshabad until further orders. The land is within an area proposed for acquisition for Telangana’s bullet train project. Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy said the case involves serious disputes over ownership and possession; the next hearing is scheduled for August 11.

Two writ petitions were filed: one by 85 farmers and another by Mustang Infra Projects Pvt. Ltd. and two others. Petitioners alleged that HYDRAA, revenue department and police officials entered their land without following legal procedures and tried to remove them, demolish structures and interfere with possession. Mustang alleged officials sought to take possession of around 49 acres of patta land without notice or due process. Advocate General A. Sudershan Reddy opposed the petitions, calling the allegations without merit.

The Telangana High Court ordered status quo until further orders on disputed land parcels in Bahadurguda village near Shamshabad, which form part of land being acquired by the state government for the bullet train project. Justice B Vijaysen Reddy issued the interim direction in two writ petitions involving serious disputes over land title and possession. Authorities may take action against the petitioners only after following due process of law.

On July 20, the Telangana High Court restrained the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) from taking coercive action on 26.03 acres of land in Bahadurguda proposed for a bullet train project.

Farmers in Bahadurguda village near Shamshabad have opposed the government’s plan to acquire 650 acres under Survey Nos. 28 and 68 for a proposed bullet train project. They say they have cultivated the land for decades and repeatedly sought pattas; they demand fair compensation. The protest turned violent around 4.30 pm on Saturday as HYDRAA and Revenue Department officials arrived to fence the land. Villagers allegedly threw chilli powder, stones and plastic chairs. DCP Yogesh Goutham and two Sub-Inspectors reportedly sustained minor injuries. Police said they were fencing only government land and not damaging agricultural fields. Several farmers, including women, were detained and taken to Nandigama and Maheswaram police stations. A farmer identified as Narasimha reportedly lost consciousness. Residents alleged the village’s power was cut on Friday night, outsiders were barred and school buses stopped. BRS opposed the acquisition; police detained senior leader P. Karthik Reddy while he was travelling to the village.
