Over 1,400 shops, situated within 36 "double bedroom" housing colonies across four districts – Hyderabad, Rangareddy, Medchal-Malkajgiri, and Sangareddy – are slated for auction between April 9 and April 21. The shops, varying in size from 60 to 400 square feet, are part of an initiative under the Telangana Core Urban Region (TCUR) scheme.

The stated aim of this auction process is to generate revenue exclusively for the development and maintenance of these housing colonies, fostering self-sustainability and improving civic amenities. The initiative also purports to provide essential goods locally and create new livelihoods for residents.
