The '''Marthoma Nazrani Eparchy of Shamshabad''' is an [[Eastern Catholic]] [[eparchy]] headquartered in [[Telangana]], [[India]], under the [[Syro-Malabar Catholic Church]]. It was established by [[Pope Francis]] on 10 October 2017, and [[Raphael Thattil]] was appointed its first bishop.<ref>{{cite press release |url= http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2017/10/10/171010d.html | publisher =Holy See Press Office |title= Provisions for the Syro-Malabar Church, 10.10.2017 |accessdate=11 July 2018 | date= 10 October 2017}}</ref> In a letter to the bishops of India, Francis cited India's decades of experience with "overlapping jurisdictions" of different ''[[Sui iuris#Catholic ecclesiastical use|sui iuris]]'' churches. He wrote: "With the growth of spiritual friendship and mutual assistance, any tension or apprehension should be swiftly overcome. May this extension of the pastoral area of the Syro-Malabar Church in no way be perceived as a growth in power and domination, but as a call to deeper communion, which should never be perceived as uniformity."<ref>{{cite document | accessdate= 11 July 2018|date=9 October 2017|title=Letter of the Holy Father|publisher= Holy See Press Office| url = http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2017/10/10/171010b.html}}</ref>

The new jurisdiction was inaugurated with Thattil's installation on 7 January 2018.<ref>{{cite news | title=Kerala church gets back all-India jurisdiction with Shamshabad diocese | url = https://indianexpress.com/article/india/kerala-church-gets-back-all-india-jurisdiction-with-shamshabad-diocese-5015260/ | work = [[The Indian Express]] | accessdate = 11 July 2018 | date= 7 January 2018 | agency = [[Press Trust of India|PTI]]}}</ref> The cathedral is the St. Alphonsa Syro-Malabar Catholic Church at [[Kukatpally]], in Greater [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]].
