Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation’s financial strength has grown tremendously over a period of time, despite the financial crunch. Six decades ago the budget was just Rs 1 crore and now it has reached Rs 6,000 crore. Before it was expanded to GHMC in 2007, the corporation was known as Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad.
In the 50s, the corporation had a budget of around Rs 15 crore which grew to Rs 400 crore in a decade. The growth continued and touched the Rs 2,000 mark when it was made into GHMC from MCH in 2007. tnn
