Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy recently announced plans to reorganise districts and mandals. He said a new commission, led by a retired Supreme Court or High Court judge, will study the issue and suggest changes. The previous BRS government’s reorganisation was called "lopsided and unscientific," leading to many complaints. The commission will visit the whole state to gather public feedback. However, this reorganisation is unlikely to happen soon. The Union Home Ministry’s Census Division has frozen all boundaries of administrative units from December 31, 2025, to prepare for Census 2027. According to a circular from the Registrar General and Census Commissioner in August 2025, no changes in districts, sub-districts, villages, or towns can occur after this freeze. The circular details what counts as jurisdictional changes, such as creating new districts, changing boundaries, or renaming places. These changes must be completed before December 31, 2025, or they will be frozen until after Census 2027. Census work will begin with house-listing and housing census from April to September 2026 and population enumeration in February 2027. Directorates of Census Operations are collecting data on jurisdictional changes up to July 1, 2025, and again for July to December 2025 to finalize boundaries. Senior officials declined to comment on how the freeze affects Telangana’s reorganisation but confirmed the process is paused for now. This means Telangana’s district and mandal reshuffle plans will have to wait until after Census 2027, delaying the Chief Minister’s promise to respond to public demands.
