Telangana government wants to digitise every home and office in the state. In tune with this vision, Telangana IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu announced universal access to high-speed internet across all 33 districts of the state.
The connectivity push comes under the Telangana Fiber Grid (T-Fiber) initiative which is now being rebranded as T-NxT. The announcement was made at the recent inauguration of T-Fiber’s new corporate office in Hyderabad.

"T-NXT offers a wide range of cutting-edge services, including Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Native Cloud – DC & DR as a Service, Security Operations Center (SoC), Application Development in AI, AI Consulting Services, Integrated Digital Ads & App Management, and Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT). With T-NXT, we're not just connecting wires – we're connecting people, ideas, and opportunities, making Telangana a leading hub for digital transformation," Sridhar Babu had said on X.
Backed by local cable operators, the plan aims to ensure last-mile connectivity, including access to television channels. The minister said that with Smart TV integration, students in remote corners of the state can convert TV sets into computer monitors and tap into digital learning resources. The cost of the high-speed internet connection depends on the package chosen.
“T-Fiber has already connected 8,891 Gram Panchayats across 424 mandals, and an additional 7,187 Panchayats are ready to be integrated. In 2024 alone, we connected 30,000 government offices. By 2027, we aim to expand the number to 60,000 offices across the state,” Sridhar Babu said.
As part of the event, nine MoUs were signed with industry partners to accelerate deployment. The Minister also launched Telangana’s sovereign cloud platform—a secure data ecosystem to host sensitive government information within the state. He also unveiled T-Fiber’s new logo and Vision Document outlining the next phase of digital expansion.
“This is more than laying cables. We are connecting people, their ideas, and the opportunities that can transform their lives,” Sridhar Babu said.
