how many ghmc commissioners are there in hyderabad?
Short answer
As of early 2026, there is one Municipal Commissioner for the (restructured) GHMC in Hyderabad, but the former unified GHMC was trifurcated into three separate municipal corporations , each with its own commissioner.
What changed in 2026
In February 2026, the Telangana government formally reorganised the expanded Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation into three independent civic bodies :
- Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC)
- Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC)
- Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation (MMC)
Each corporation now has its own IAS officer as Municipal Commissioner.
Commissioners after trifurcation
Based on government orders and news reports from February 2026:
- GHMC Commissioner: R. V. Karnan, IAS (continued in role for the restructured GHMC)
- CMC (Cyberabad) Commissioner: G. Srijana, IAS (earlier GHMC additional commissioner)
- MMC (Malkajgiri) Commissioner: T. Vinay Krishna Reddy, IAS (earlier GHMC additional commissioner)
So if your question is literally āhow many GHMC commissioners are there in Hyderabad?ā, the strict answer is: one commissioner for GHMC itself. But in the broader civic administration of Greater Hyderabad, there are now three municipal commissioners across the three corporations.
Mini timeline (context)
- Preā2026: Unified GHMC with a single Municipal Commissioner overseeing the entire Greater Hyderabad area.
- Feb 2026: GHMC trifurcated into GHMC + CMC + MMC; three commissioners appointed, one for each body.
- Midā2026 onward: Administrative structure functions with three parallel corporations, each headed by its own commissioner.
TL;DR
- GHMC alone: 1 Commissioner (R. V. Karnan as of early 2026).
- Greater Hyderabad civic system postātrifurcation: 3 Commissioners (GHMC + CMC + MMC).
