When are the Telangana local elections?

Here’s the latest on the Telangana local (panchayat/MPTC/ZPTC) elections:

Notification coming soon: Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy confirmed the government will issue the official local body poll notification by end‑June, following the state Cabinet meeting today, June 16, 2025

Phased election plan: Polls will roll out in phases first MPTC and ZPTC, then sarpanches and municipal bodie .

Why this timing: With terms of local bodies expired since early 2024, this marks the first electoral test for the Congress government. The early monsoon and ongoing kharif sowing are further pushing an accelerated poll schedule, likely starting July

Govt gearing up: Ahead of elections, the state is fast‑tracking welfare programs clearing ₹153 cr in panchayat bills, launching a youth employment initiative, delivering ration cards, and disbursing Rythu Bharosa funds to build goodwill among rural voters.

In summary: Expect the election notification by June 30, with polling likely beginning in early July, first for MPTC/ZPTC, followed by sarpanch and municipal polls.
