As of September 1, 2026, the Telangana government announced that it would stop paying for internet services provided by private operators to its government offices. IT Minister D. Sridhar Babu gave the directive to ensure that all government offices receive internet services exclusively through T-Fiber. Additionally, efforts were to be made to speed up the implementation of the state's flagship initiative, 'Internet to every home.'
The T-Fiber team was instructed to guarantee that government offices would have internet connectivity by the deadline, and arrangements were to be made for the Future City project in Hyderabad's periphery as well. The transition from the Telangana State Wide Area Network (T-SWAN) to T-Fiber was to be completed within a month. The minister emphasized that payments to private internet service providers should cease from September 1. All comments had to be in English, written as full sentences, and not abusive or personal.
