The Telangana government has launched the Bhu Bharati portal to make land record management simple, transparent and accessible to the public. 

The Portal was launched by the Telangana Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy, on 14th April 2025, coinciding with the 135th birth anniversary of Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar.

The portal replaces the Dharani portal introduced by the previous BRS government led by K Chandrashekhar Rao.

• The state government intends to roll out the Bhu Bharati Portal all over the state by 2nd June 2025, the foundation day of Telangana.

Telangana Bhu Bharathi (Record of Rights in Land) Act, 2025
