Districts in Telangana: Current List and Official Links
Districts in Telangana: check the current 33-district list, official government links, names often confused, and how to verify changes.
The list of districts in Telangana has 33 entries in the current National Informatics Centre directory. An older map can make the state look simpler than its present administration, especially around paired or similar regional names. Use the current district list for the count.
The directory is a list of administrative districts and their official sites, not a Census population table. It is appropriate for today’s names; a historical population comparison needs a dated statistical source and compatible boundaries.
How many districts are in Telangana?
Telangana has 33 districts in the NIC Integrated Government Online Directory. The directory links district entries to their government portals. Use the state or district government for a later change; a printed list can lag an official notification.
List of Telangana districts and government links
The 33 names below follow NIC’s current directory. Links open a district-government portal where it is available. For an unavailable portal, the row links to NIC’s district-specific directory entry instead. This table is alphabetical for quick lookup, not a division-wise or population ranking.
Which Telangana district names are easy to confuse?
These distinctions matter when you compare a current district list with older notes or a map:
- Hanumakonda and Warangal are separate entries. A study note that uses ‘Warangal’ for both will obscure which district it means.
- Bhadradri Kothagudem and Yadadri Bhuvanagiri are full district names in the current directory; shorten them only when the source itself does so.
- Medak and Medchal Malkajgiri are separate entries, despite the similar first syllable.
How should you study Telangana’s districts?
For TSPSC preparation, map the official names first, then connect districts to the Godavari and Krishna basins and major urban centers using a current atlas. River basins and districts are different geographic layers; one won’t substitute for the other in a factual question.
For the wider exam pattern, use our TSPSC exam guide. A district list is most useful when it sits beside an official map and a few relevant geography facts; the names by themselves are only the first layer.
Can you compare today’s districts with Census 2011 population figures?
Only with care. Census India’s population finder reports 2011 population, while this directory describes the current administrative list. When a district was created, renamed or redrawn later, its present row does not automatically have a directly comparable 2011 figure. Quote the source year and boundary basis with any population number.

The same official-source method is used in our districts in Karnataka and districts in Bihar guides. For Uttar Pradesh, use the existing UP district reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many districts are in Telangana?
NIC’s current state directory lists 33 districts in Telangana. Check the directory again if a later government notification changes the list.
Where can I find the official Telangana district list?
Use NIC’s state-wise Integrated Government Online Directory. The table on this page follows its 33 rows and links district-government portals or NIC entries.
Are Hanumakonda and Warangal separate districts?
Yes. NIC lists each as a separate Telangana district with its own government website entry.
Are district and division the same thing?
No. A district is an administrative unit; a division groups districts where the state uses that layer. A district count cannot be read as a division count.
Do the current districts all have Census 2011 population figures?
Not automatically. Census 2011 used its own district boundaries. A later district may need a separately documented boundary-adjusted figure, so state the year and source with any population number.
