== History ==
The Mancherial Municipality was originally constituted as a third-grade municipality in 1952. It was subsequently upgraded to first-grade municipality status in 2003 to accommodate the growing population and urban needs. In January 2025, the Government of Telangana elevated it to the status of a Municipal Corporation through an official gazette notification dated January 4, 2025, thereby establishing the Mancherial Municipal Corporation as the civic governing body for the expanded urban area. The first municipal corporation elections were held in February 2026, marking a significant milestone in the city's administrative evolution.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Correspondent |first=D.
