In a move that has sparked national and international attention, the Telangana government has announced that the road adjoining the United States Consulate General in Hyderabad will soon be renamed ‘Donald Trump Avenue’. The proposal marks an unconventional diplomatic gesture and aligns with the state government’s ongoing efforts to rebrand key public spaces after global leaders and major technology corporations.
Part of Global-Themed Renaming Drive
According to officials, the renaming proposal will be formally sent to the Union Ministry of External Affairs and the US Embassy for final clearance. The initiative was first hinted at during an international business summit, where the Chief Minister emphasized branding the city to reflect Hyderabad’s growing global stature.
This initiative forms part of a much wider topographical rebranding strategy, aimed at positioning Telangana — particularly Hyderabad — as a strategic international business and innovation hub.
Tech Giants Enter the Map
Along with the Donald Trump naming proposal, several other high-profile renamings have been confirmed:
- A landmark stretch in Hyderabad’s Financial District will be designated ‘Google Street’, recognizing the tech giant’s large-scale investment and upcoming campus.
- Major intersections and urban roadways are also set to be named ‘Wipro Junction’ and ‘Microsoft Road’, reflecting the prominence of India’s IT ecosystem and Hyderabad’s role in it.
- A new radial road on the Regional Ring Road (RRR) project will be named in honor of late industrialist Ratan Tata, acknowledging his contributions to Indian industry and philanthropy.
