US President Donald Trump on Friday thanked India after Hyderabad formally unveiled an avenue named after him, calling it an “unprecedented honour” in a post shared on Truth Social.
Sharing an image from the unveiling ceremony, Trump wrote: “The new Donald Trump Avenue in Hyderabad, India — The first U.S. President to ever be honoured in this way. Thank you! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

The acknowledgement came days after Telangana officially renamed a road adjoining the US Consulate in Hyderabad as Donald Trump Avenue, a move presented as part of broader efforts to strengthen the city’s global profile and highlight its role in India-US engagement.
The avenue is located in Hyderabad’s Financial District at Nanakramguda, an area that houses the US diplomatic mission and several major international technology companies. Officials described the renaming as a symbolic recognition of the relationship between Hyderabad and the United States.
The ceremonial plaque was unveiled earlier this week in the presence of US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor and senior Telangana government representatives during an event linked to commemorative celebrations marking 250 years of American independence.
The decision traces back to a broader naming initiative announced by the Telangana government, under which key roads and public infrastructure in Hyderabad were proposed to be named after globally recognised figures and institutions. Earlier, at the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy spoke about creating internationally identifiable urban landmarks in the city.
Trump’s public acknowledgement of the gesture quickly drew attention online, with his post describing the recognition as a first-of-its-kind honour for a US President in India.
