Delhi has lot of pollution and visibility is bad, some flights may get canceled 

Not really kaka…that’s a thing of a past. Delhi is now equipped with modern systems which enable landing in poor conditions. Very few cancellations compared to few years back..

Its a very old model and modern fleets and operations ki not suitable plus costs over run. Airlines which operate point to point usually have such bases but these days major airlines adopted hub and spoke model. For Air India, Delhi is hub and Mumbai is secondary hub.

Range is not an issue for long haul flights . Hyderbad is hardly two hours of flight time after entering Indian air space. This appears to be more of deliberate chokehold to make Delhi as a Hub or some national security issues is affecting the central government's decision.

That’s the whole problem. On an average, Dallas to Hyd if at all happens the flying time itself will be 16-17 hours non stop and this is the problem. As of today, B777-200Ex and A350-900 with limited config or A350-1000 can cover the range but it will not be economically feasible. 16-17 hours flying time ante plus inkoka two hiurs flying time ki fuel weight kuda add chesukovali, and this sector will compete with Singapore-Newark as the longest non stop flight.

Air India is making Delhi as its hub and is already the largest operator internationally from Del and they are scaling up operations to make it a super hub. Every airline needs tonhave a major hub and Del is for AI

I don't think range is a problem at all. The last time I flew Air India I flew from Hyd to Delhi to New York in the same flight. It just had an extra stop in Delhi. The reasoning about economic feasibility doesn't make up sense too. Hardly two hours of extra flight time and fuel wouldn't affect the economic viability. Such flights actually command a higher premium among Telugu diaspora and may get overbooked.  Why does Singapore -Newark come into picture? How does it compete with it? The target passengers are entirely different. 

You can have multiple hubs. There seem to be nothing wrong with it. Why exclusive Delhi?. Having a long hauler to Hyderbad means those that are from Chennai, Vishakapatnam, Tirupati, Bejawada, Bengaluru and even Kerala Can essentially benefit from lesser flying time. Hyderbad domestic traffic can go up. There is no engineering or technical reason in this case. It's merely political maneuver. For some reason, Modi Sarkar is not very keen on this. If not, leave AI United and Delta could have done this by now.

Given large number of Telugu population, we think Dallas - hyd is no brainer. That might be true, but the Delhi flight has other advantages:

1. People living near  2nd tier AP airports like vja, vizag, tirupathi etc actually prefer Delhi .

You can argue same for other 2nd tier cities in other states.

2. You need a large business class demand , which might be difficult for Hyd route 

3. Delhi is hub, can't do much about it.

You can have all economy class flights too. At the end of the day it comes to demand supply dynamics, and there is enough demand. Had that not been the case there wouldn't have been a Hyderabad to Chicago direct flight from AI preCovid. It's cancelled only due to low demand during the COVID time.

How did you conclude that two tier cities prefer Delhi to Hyderbad? 

Delhi is a hub. You can have multiple hubs.
