The Telangana government on Tuesday, December 3, launched a new, building permit system, which is expected to be faster than the existing system.

The new system, named ‘BuildNow’, will be an AI-powered unified online building and layout approval system for Telangana. BuildNow is set to replace the existing TG-bPASS (Telangana Building Permit Approval and Self-Certification System) from February 1, 2025.

In the inaugural event held at the Telangana secretariat, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) Department’s new initiative was launched by IT minister Sridhar Babu.
