Complete Koheda Fruit Market works by June 2, 2028; first phase by March, 2027: Telangana Agriculture Minister

The Koheda Fruit Market project in Telangana, India, is set to be completed by June 2, 2028, marking the state's formation day. The initiative, spearheaded by Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao, aims to provide farmers with a comprehensive infrastructure for storing, selling, and exporting their produce domestically and internationally. The market will cover an extensive area of 239 acres. In June 2026, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy inaugurated the project with the laying of the foundation stone.

On November 12, 2026, a review meeting was held at the State Secretariat in Hyderabad, where Rao discussed the progress of the works. He outlined the construction pace, measures for timely completion, and the appointment of Rahul Raj as the Special Officer to oversee project advancements. Rao emphasized that the first phase of the market would be operational by March 2027.

In response to potential delays, actions are being taken, including alterations in contract terms and penalties for construction companies not adhering to the schedule.

The Agriculture Department Secretary, K. Surendra Mohan, along with other officials, attended the meeting to review the project's current state and ensure adherence to the timeline.
