Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences Sanathnagar inauguration rescheduled to June 2

Hyderabad: The Telangana Institute of Medical Sciences (TIMS) at Sanathnagar is now expected to be inaugurated on 2 June 2026, following multiple delays that pushed the opening from the originally scheduled date of March 19. The postponement is due to pending construction work, equipment installation, and staffing arrangements.

The State Health Department had initially announced the hospital’s inauguration on Ugadi, but the pending works prevented the event. Officials confirmed that the government is now planning inaugurations of multiple state projects during the Telangana Formation Day celebrations, as part of the 99-day action plan. TIMS is expected to be included in this batch, with the opening tentatively set for June 2.
