CAG report flags deep fiscal stress, project failures in Telangana

The latest CAG audit reports expose Telangana’s worsening fiscal health. Revenue surplus turned into a ₹9,420 crore deficit in 2024–25, with only 76 percent of the budget utilised. Rising debt, opaque guarantees, and failing public sector units deepen the crisis. The Kaleshwaram project exemplifies poor planning, while urban services and health infrastructure remain severely deficient.
