We already know about problems, the biggest National flag is bringing for Telangana government. The flag got torn three times within the first 20 days it was unfurled. Every time it gets torn, it is costing 1.5 Lakhs for each replacement flag. So the maintenance is becoming increasingly difficult.

The government appointed an expert panel to look in to the issue. They have suggested that these problems are quite common for such huge flags. They recommended using the material of parachutes to make the flag so that it can be more durable. The new flag will also have less number of stitches to prevent getting torn.
HMDA is entrusted the maintenance which will cost 60 Lakhs per annum. This parachute cloth will further increase it. The flag has got heavy lighting when it is dark which will cost 5000 per day and then there are salaries for two home guards who will be maintaining strict vigil at the flag round the clock.
