HYDRAA and HRCS India Join Forces to Empower Homebuyers and Promote Sustainable Real Estate in Hyderabad

In a significant move to enhance transparency and legal clarity in Hyderabad’s real estate sector, the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Monitoring and Protection Agency (HYDRAA) has officially launched HRCSIndia.com—a platform designed to offer free legal support and guidance to property buyers. This initiative was announced by HYDRAA Commissioner A.V. Ranganath during a launch event at the HRCS India office in LB Nagar.

HYDRAA’s Role in Protecting Public Assets

Commissioner Ranganath emphasized that HYDRAA was created by the Telangana government to protect key public assets such as lakes, parks, drains, government lands, and community-use sites from encroachments. With its expanding role, HYDRAA is now becoming a central player in ensuring that Hyderabad’s urban development remains environment-friendly and legally compliant.

Legal Clarity Now Established

Addressing initial uncertainties surrounding HYDRAA’s legal authority, Ranganath clarified that all doubts have been resolved. He confirmed that HYDRAA operates with a firm legal foundation, actively working to educate the public about Full Tank Levels (FTLs) and buffer zones, which are crucial to determining the legality of real estate developments near water bodies.

HRCSIndia.com: A New Digital Bridge for Property Stakeholders

Developed by RERA-certified HRCS India, the new website HRCSIndia.com is envisioned as a bridge between homebuyers, real estate firms, and financial institutions. The platform will help buyers make informed decisions by verifying legal documents and ensuring transparency across real estate transactions.

"Buying a Home Is as Important as Marriage"

In his remarks, Ranganath compared homeownership to marriage, stressing that both are life-altering choices requiring careful verification and thought. He warned potential buyers to be wary of fraudulent sellers who manipulate survey numbers or offer properties on government land using fake documents and permissions.

Over 3 Lakh Unsold Flats: A Market Slowdown with Many Factors

The Commissioner revealed that Hyderabad currently has more than 3 lakh unsold flats and homes, reflecting a broader market slowdown. However, he made it clear that HYDRAA is not solely responsible for this dip. Instead, global economic trends and market dynamics have also contributed to the lag in property sales.

Public Access to Lake Boundaries and Maps Coming Soon

To promote informed property purchases, HYDRAA is working on making lake boundaries and government land data publicly accessible. This will help buyers avoid illegal constructions and ensure their investments are legally secure.

Beautification and Development of Lakes Underway

Ranganath also highlighted HYDRAA’s ongoing efforts to beautify and develop six major lakes across the city before the upcoming monsoon season. These efforts are expected to improve public infrastructure while reducing the risk of urban flooding.

Transparency and Affordability Are Key to Market Revival

Citing previous market slowdowns such as in 2008, Ranganath believes that the real estate sector can bounce back if the focus shifts to transparent practices and affordable housing. He stressed that a fraud-free real estate ecosystem benefits everyone, from individual buyers to institutional stakeholders.

HRCS India Applauded for Promoting Safe Property Investments

Concluding his address, Ranganath praised HRCS India for its proactive role in protecting homebuyers by verifying project details and ensuring that banks fund only trustworthy developments. He described this kind of consumer-centric support as “essential, especially in today’s volatile market.”
