The state has seen protests for and against the proposal in recent years.
With a population of 40 million, the proposed state comprises 10 of Andhra Pradesh's 23 districts including Hyderabad, India's sixth biggest city.
Backers of the new state say the area has been neglected by the government.
Opponents of the move are unhappy that Hyderabad, home to many major information technology and pharmaceutical companies, could become Telangana's new capital.
Reports say that Hyderabad was likelyto become a "joint capital" of both thenew Telangana state and Andhra Pradesh until the latter develops its own capital.
