Hyderabad: The state government has set June 2, 2028, Telangana Formation Day, as the deadline for completing the International Integrated Fruit Market at Koheda on the city outskirts, being developed at a cost of Rs 2,284 crore over 239 acres. The first phase of the project is scheduled to be completed by March 31, 2027, and made available to farmers.
The decision regarding the deadline was taken at a review meeting on the progress of the fruit market construction works on Thursday. Agriculture minister Tummala Nageswara Rao reviewed the works taken up so far, the pace of construction and measures required to ensure completion within the stipulated deadlines with senior officials of the department.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had laid the foundation stone for the project in June this year. The government is developing the market with international standards, modern technology and comprehensive infrastructure to provide farmers with improved marketing facilities. The integrated market is planned to provide facilities for the storage, sale and transportation of fruits without compromising on their quality, besides facilitating access to domestic and international markets. Officials were directed to closely monitor the works and ensure that there was no delay in execution.
Officials were also asked to prepare an action plan to ensure that the construction agency completed the works within the stipulated timeframe. Necessary changes should be made to the agreement conditions to enable action against the construction agency in case of delays. IAS officer Rahul Raj has been appointed as special officer to monitor the progress of the Koheda fruit market works on a regular basis.
