The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has encountered several financial and operational challenges. Initially, the GHMC Vigilance Wing identified discrepancies in 78 ERP invoices, leading to the recovery of approximately Rs 6.83 crore in duplicate and excess payments made to contractors for infrastructure projects. These issues were reportedly linked to software reconciliation failures following a trifurcation of the corporation.

Subsequently, the GHMC reported a significant revenue gap of approximately Rs 39.74 crore in unpaid dues from outdoor advertising agencies. Alongside these financial concerns, the corporation faced labor unrest as workers protested near the Telangana Legislative Assembly against the proposed privatization of waste collection services, citing concerns over job security and working conditions.
