Chief Minister of Telangana
Telangana’s investment evolution
Since December 7, 2023, the Chief Minister Sri A. Revanth Reddy has ensured that Telangana’s investment journey reflects a strategic pivot toward high-value, future-focused sectors. In the first half of 2024-25 itself, Telangana has seen a 33% growth in FDIs.
Starting with sub‑Rs. 1 lakh crore green projects and manufacturing units, the focus has now shifted to global capital via data centres, biotech, life sciences and defence. To drive this growth further, Telangana has also brought in a State-first Life Sciences policy.
Investment-ready ecosystem
With skills-up initiatives and infrastructure development including airport expansion and thermal power completion, Telangana now draws global players such as BYD and the UAE funds. As of mid‑2025, Telangana is ready to surge into the future having firmly established itself as a high-growth, investment-ready ecosystem.
As data centres become the major focus area, new facilities and expansions are a natural growth outcome with MNCs such as Infosys, HCL and Wipro announcing their expansion plans in Hyderabad.
In the past few years, Telangana has emerged as a significant hub for electronics manufacturing in India. As of January 2025, the State is “home to around 260 electronics companies, marking a 3.97% increase from 2023”.
The State government has achieved over Rs. 3 lakh crore in investment inflows since December 2023, with jumping infrastructure funding and biotech, AI, fintech, defence and data-centre projects on the rise.
January-June 2024:
Green energy, data centres & MSMEs
The year began on a high note at WEF Davos 2024, where Telangana secured major deals. Adani Group inked four MOUs totalling Rs. 12,400 crore.
- Rs. 5,000 crore for a green‑powered data centre
- Rs. 5,000 crore for pumped storage projects
- Rs. 1,400 crore for a cement plant

The State kicked off plans for MSME clusters. By June, proposals worth nearly Rs. 50,000 crore were under consideration, with Rs. 40,000 crore tied to the Davos trip and Rs. 10,000 crore in post‑Davos follow-up.
Mid‑2024:

In late 2024, Telangana’s TG‑iPASS system green‑lit 1,901 industrial projects, representing Rs. 12,626 crore in investment and potential jobs for 49,000 people.
- Semiconductor firm Kaynes Semicon led the pack with Rs. 2,700 crore.

Late‑2024:
Skills, aviation & green energy policy
The last quarter of 2024 picked up pace with the launch of the Young India Skills University (YISU) in Hyderabad (a PPP initiative) in October 2024.
- The YISU was backed by contributions of Rs. 100 crore from Adani and Rs. 7 crore from Redington.
- By early 2025, curricula were being developed actively in areas such as logistics, healthcare, pharma and BFSI sectors.
Infrastructure investments surged as

Blockbuster deals
The Telangana government secured investments worth Rs. 41,000 crore at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2024. By early 2025, the State moved to a new level with its ‘Telangana Rising 2047’ vision.
At the WEF in Davos, Telangana struck blockbuster deals worth nearly Rs. 1.8 lakh crore. These investments come with a potential 49,500 jobs. This dramatic rise was driven by the vision of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy whose able leadership helped the State secure major investment commitments such as:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centre project – Rs. 60,000 crore
- Sun Petrochemicals pumped storage plans – Rs. 45,000 crore

- AI infrastructure
- Transmission and distribution (T&D) manufacturing
