Telangana Capital Hyderabad’s roads are about to take a global turn. Congress ruled state government wants to rename major streets and junctions after big-name international corporations and famous global figures—a move aimed squarely at putting the city on the world map. With the ‘Telangana Rising Global Summit’, officials see this as more than a gimmick. They want Hyderabad to stand out as a hotspot for innovation and global investment.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is leading the charge. He’s pushing to blend global prestige right into the city’s everyday landscape. Some of the standout suggestions are - there’s ‘Donald Trump Avenue’—the stretch beside the US Consulate General, which the state plans to name after the former and current US President. State officials are already preparing to pitch this unusual idea to the Union Ministry of External Affairs and the US Embassy.
Then there’s the ‘Tata Interchange’ and ‘Ratan Tata Road’—a new greenfield road connecting the Nehru Outer Ring Road at Raviryala to the proposed Regional Ring Road will honour the late industrialist and Padma Bhushan awardee, Ratan Tata. The nearby interchange is already set to carry the Tata name.
In the Financial District, near Google’s massive upcoming campus, the state wants to christen a main road ‘Google Street’—a nod to the tech giant’s investment and presence in the region. The plan doesn’t stop there. Proposals for ‘Microsoft Road’ and ‘Wipro Junction’ are also on the table, each recognizing their role in making Hyderabad a technology powerhouse.
Vision and Reactions
Revanth Reddy says the initiative does two things at once: it honours global icons and inspires people driving those roads every day. He believes it also signals Hyderabad’s ambition, tying the city’s image to international innovation and progress. The hope is - more visibility, more investment, and more growth. But, not everyone’s thrilled. Union Minister and BJP leader Bandi Sanjay Kumar fired back, saying the government should stick to historical names instead of chasing what’s trending. He even called for the city to go back to its old name, ‘Bhagyanagar.’ Still, the government isn’t backing down. The proposal is set to be front and center at ‘Telangana Rising Global Summit.’ For Telangana, it’s a statement: the state wants to look outwards, aiming high and thinking global.
