Telangana offers extraordinary opportunities to global investors, said Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. Addressing the annual conclave of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) in New Delhi, he made a strong pitch for investment in Telangana and Hyderabad. He informed the participants that Hyderabad is centrally located, has no major security risks, boasts great weather, and possesses a world-class infrastructure. "We are the gateway to the entire Indian market, and a major destination for Global Capability Centres. Come and invest in my state," Chief Minister Revanth Reddy urged.
Listing the achievements of the Congress government in the last 23 months, Chief Minister Reddy said his biggest focus for the future includes the economic empowerment of women, providing the best education and skills, and urban development— in particular, making Hyderabad a truly world-class city with the best amenities and the highest quality of living.
Inviting top global academic institutions, Chief Minister Reddy said, "Once Harvard, Stanford or Oxford sets up an offshore campus in Hyderabad, many students from the Global South can attend these Ivy League programmes because of easier visa rules and lower costs."
Pitching top projects like Bharat Future City and River Musi rejuvenation, he detailed his plans: "Bharat Future City will be India’s most developed, world-class city, across 30,000 acres. After rejuvenation, the Musi riverfront will match the experience of London, Tokyo, Dubai or Seoul. It will add a night economy cycle for the city."
Besides explaining projects to create a dry port and the expansion of the Hyderabad Metro Rail, Regional Ring Road (RRR) and radial roads, and a manufacturing zone between the RRR and Outer Ring Road (ORR), Chief Minister Reddy said that Telangana is aiming to become the global answer to the China +1 alternative.
He also offered to name roads in Hyderabad after corporates. "We will name important roads in Hyderabad after corporates. In India, most roads are named after political leaders. Let us change that in Hyderabad to have Google or Meta or TCS Infosys Street," he proposed.
According to the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), his pitch for major investments in Telangana, as part of his $1 trillion state economy vision by 2034 and $3 trillion SGDP by 2047, found great support and applause.
Former CEO of Cisco and tech legend John Chambers described CM Revanth Reddy’s vision for Telangana as "bold, clear, very achievable," and promised his full support. Chambers said that CM Reddy’s description of game-changer projects and their social impact was very impressive.
Dr Mukesh Aghi, CEO and President of USISPF, said that in response to CM Reddy’s invitation, most members will try to attend the Telangana Rising Global Summit being organised by the state on December 8 and 9 in Hyderabad to unveil and showcase the comprehensive vision for the state.
