What we could not confirm
Latest financials, employee strength, and any 2025-26 tariff or project decisions could not be confirmed from fetchable official pages (board sub-pages such as /aboutus and /news were not retrievable); financials and employees left null. Post-bifurcation Telangana statute/GO continuing the Board could not be opened, so the 1989 Act is cited as the constituting law.
