Sri A. Revanth Reddy
Chief Minister of Telangana
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.
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.
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.
Around the same time, other investments worth Rs. 22,000 crore were announced, which included:
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.
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.
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 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:
At BioAsia 2025 in February, Telangana unveiled India’s first Life Sciences Policy, facilitating
In March, chatter about global EV giant BYD surfaced. Enthusiasts reported a possible partnership with Olectra and joint EV/bus manufacturing plant near Hyderabad, signifying Telangana’s entry into advanced EV manufacturing.
Aiming to attract Japanese investments to Telangana, the high-powered TelanganaRising delegation led by Sri A. Revanth Reddy toured Japan for a week from April 16 to 22, 2025, forging strategic alliances (transformative agreements, MoUs, LoIs) with leading industry players across different sectors such as:
Investments from Japanese firms exceeded all expectations with Telangana clinching deals worth an impressive Rs. 12,062 crore, more than double of its target of Rs. 5,000 crore.
As recently as early June 2025, the UAE‑based Shaiva Group and Taranis Capital committed initial funding across five local ventures:
Revanth Reddy’s “services-only city” plan for Hyderabad is reshaping the capital into a GCC hub while shifting manufacturing between the ORR-RRR corridor. Highlights:
Collectively, these GCCs and investments cement Hyderabad’s global brand, create thousands of jobs, and align with Revanth’s balanced development model linking urban services with rural industry.
Telangana’s investment climate continued to show strong momentum through September and October 2025, with key global and domestic companies committing large-scale projects across manufacturing, beverages, aerospace, and life sciences.
Hyderabad is on a global roll, literally! November saw a flurry of major international firms staking their claim in the city, underscoring its ascendance as a top destination for innovation, tech, finance, and aerospace.

December was a busy month for Telangana’s investment push. The two-day Telangana Rising Global Summit, held on December 8 & 9 at Bharat Future City in Mucherla, brought big companies, big ideas, and big numbers into one place. In two days, the State secured commitments worth Rs. 5.75 lakh crore in investment proposals and MoUs. The focus was clearly on AI, clean energy, manufacturing, data centres, and job creation. The momentum didn’t stop with the summit and continued long after the event ended too.
What made December stand out was the range of interest Telangana attracted. From Bharat Future City plans to renewables, aerospace, electronics and healthcare, the announcements covered multiple sectors. Some companies signed MoUs, some planned expansions, and others came in with fresh proposals. The month ended with Telangana looking all ready to scale up – surpassing expectations, breaking boundaries, and chasing new targets.
Taken together, December’s timeline shows that Telangana is building a wide pipeline of investments. It’s not centred on just one headline project but it was a balanced blend of many moves happening in parallel. The mix of sectors also hints at where the State is headed next. The next big task is converting plans into work on the ground.
If December was about attracting attention, the coming months are about delivery. Telangana has set the stage with a strong month-end finish. Now, it has to keep the pace going.
January 2026 emerged as a defining month for Telangana’s investment ecosystem, as it reflected the State’s growing appeal among investors – both domestic and global. Spanning technology, life sciences, manufacturing, and urban infrastructure, these developments highlighted a policy environment that is geared toward innovation, job creation, and long-term economic expansion.
With strategic outreach and investor-friendly initiatives, Telangana continues its journey as a competitive destination for future-ready industries. Let’s look at some of the companies that trusted the city’s capability and started their operations here this month:
Aiden AI opened its Hyderabad office, adding to the city’s enterprise technology ecosystem.
Suzen Medicare Private Limited inaugurated a new production facility at Maheshwaram, expanding life sciences capacity while supporting local employment generation.
Odean Mall, Hyderabad’s first AI-enabled multiplex, was inaugurated at RTC Crossroads. The project strengthened smart leisure infrastructure and reflected the city’s evolving urban consumption patterns.
Telangana’s “investment momentum” accelerated on the global stage at the annual World Economic Forum 2026, held in Davos.
Strategic Policy Push: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy unveiled the Next-Gen Life Sciences Policy 2026-30, targeting $25 billion in investments and 5 lakh high-quality jobs by 2030. Key proposals include Green Pharma City, 10 Pharma Villages, and the expansion of Genome Valley. To sustain engagement with global investors, the Chief Minister further proposed hosting an annual WEF follow-up summit in Hyderabad in July/August.
The investment milestones recorded in January underline Telangana’s steady transition into a hub for high-value industries. By combining policy clarity with global partnerships, the State is not only attracting capital but also laying the groundwork for resilient, innovation-led growth in the years ahead.
Telangana began the month with a clear focus on execution. Led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, the Congress government initiated administrative measures to accelerate Rs. 8.81 lakh crore worth of investments that had already been committed through MoUs over the past two years.
To ensure faster implementation, departments introduced a single-point-of-contact (SPOC) system, enabling companies to move projects more efficiently from approval to execution.
BioAsia 2026 emerged as the defining investment platform of the month, bringing together global life sciences companies, investors, and policymakers.
The event reaffirmed the fact that Hyderabad is now a leading global hub for life sciences and innovation.
A host of investments that came Telangana’s way in February 2026 highlighted the State’s growth across biotech, vaccine manufacturing, and AI-led healthcare services, strengthening its innovation ecosystem.
To support rising investments and urban expansion, Telangana initiated planning for a Rs. 4 lakh crore mobility and transport blueprint for the Hyderabad Metropolitan Region.
The plan includes:
This long-term infrastructure push is aimed at enabling sustainable urban growth and improving connectivity across the region.
February 2026 marked a dual focus for Telangana by accelerating committed investments while attracting fresh global interest through BioAsia.
With over $3 billion agreements at the summit, Rs. 1,000 crore investment for Rx Propellant Campus, Rs. 4 lakh crore Mobility Plan towards long-term infrastructure, and AI & GCC expansions that will push job creation and new facilities, the State not only built a strong momentum in life sciences and parallel infrastructure planning, but also continued to strengthen its edge over other Indian cities as a future-ready investment destination.
March 2026 has been a landmark month for Telangana, as several high-stakes deals signed during the TelanganaRising Global Summit have officially moved from paper to the ground. The State continues to cement its reputation as a premier destination for both life sciences and high-end technology.
The month kicked off with a significant boost to the biopharma sector. Lonza Group AG, the Swiss manufacturing giant, formally committed to establishing its new Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Hyderabad. Following successful talks with IT & Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu, Lonza chose the city to house its hub for R&D support and digital innovation, tapping into the local scientific talent pool.
Shortly after, on March 12, the government moved forward with a major wellness initiative. Camelot Retreats Pvt. Ltd. began grounding an investment of Rs. 1,021 crore after being leased 81 acres in the Vikarabad district. This project, originally envisioned at the 2025 World Economic Forum (WEF), is set to transform the region into a major hub for wellness tourism.
A The momentum shifted toward digital transformation mid-month. On March 18, Hyderabad hosted the ETGCC World GCC Growth Summit and GCC Converge, where industry leaders gathered at the Trident to discuss the future of AI-led productivity and intelligent operations.
Finally, French healthcare leader Sanofi inaugurated a massive expansion of its Hyderabad GCC. With a multi-hundred-million euro investment and a new 2.7 lakh sq. ft. workspace in HITEC City, Sanofi is scaling its workforce to over 4,500 specialists, making it one of the largest pharma talent hubs in India.
What set April 2026 apart in Telangana’s growth journey is that the first month in the second quarter became a period of rapid execution for the State’s industrial strategy. The Congress government, led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy successfully operationalised 14 major projects. These initiatives, arising from the 75 MoUs signed during the ‘TelanganaRising Global Summit, represent a massive Rs. 30,230 crore infusion into the local economy, spanning aerospace, manufacturing, and life sciences.
The aerospace sector took centre stage this month as the GMR Group moved forward with a landmark Rs. 15,000 crore investment. This project focuses on high-end MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) services, cargo operations, and aviation manufacturing, further positioning Hyderabad as a global aviation hub. Accompanying this growth, firms like Apollo Microsystems and ITP were allotted land in Hardware Park to bolster the defense electronics ecosystem.
In heavy industry and manufacturing sectors, Krishna Power Utilities commenced work on an integrated steel plant with a Rs. 5,000 crore investment. The construction sector also saw significant scaling with Ultra Bright Cements (Rs. 1,200 crore) and Rain Cements (Rs. 760 crore) expanding their capacities.
New food processing units were sanctioned for Vintage Coffee House, KJS India, and Deepak Nexgen. Meanwhile, the life sciences sector reached a new milestone in Sangareddy, where a fresh Rs. 751.3 million API R&D facility secured critical approvals for its ‘Consent to Establish’.
The Bharat Future City project gained momentum, with 16 MoUs now active across AI, healthcare, and electric vehicle manufacturing zones. Aligning with the ‘TelanganaRising 2047’ vision, these developments ensure that high-tech industrial progress reaches districts well beyond the capital, creating high-value infrastructure and employment across the State.
Telangana spent May doing its work in the background, silently, without trying to grab headlines. With the big-ticket signings of Davos and the Telangana Rising Summit already banked, the government was tightening policy and laying foundations, even as individual companies pressed ahead with office launches and expansion plans on the ground.
On May 24, the State Cabinet cleared the Next Generation Life Sciences Policy 2026-30. The numbers behind it are big: A $25 billion investment target and 5 lakh jobs across digital health, pharma, medical innovation and biotech by 2030.
The R&D units will now be classified as “industries” in their own right, which should make it easier for GCCs and healthcare labs to set up shop without getting stuck in red tape. The same Cabinet meeting signed off on revised land values across the State, kicking in from the last week of May.
BASF got things moving early, announcing on May 6 that it would open a new Global Business Services hub in Hyderabad – BASF Global Business Services Private Limited – handling Finance and HR for the company worldwide. It’s their second Hyderabad announcement of the year, following a Global Digital Hub unveiled a few months earlier. Minister Sridhar Babu received the Letter of Intent in person.
Then, on May 26, Regeneron confirmed its own GCC for the city, expected to go live in the second half of 2026. The centre will cover data management, statistical programming, digital tech, AI, clinical trial operations and commercial analytics, which usually means hundreds of hires over the next couple of years.
Align Technology signed an MoU to invest Rs. 1,800 crore in its first India manufacturing facility in Hyderabad. The plant, expected to begin operations in 2027, is projected to create more than 300 direct jobs and strengthen Telangana’s advanced MedTech manufacturing base.

Away from Hyderabad, Ministers Sridhar Babu and Damodar Rajanarasimha laid the foundation for KJS India’s second food processing unit in Sangareddy district on May 16. The Rs. 651 crore facility, spread across 44 acres, is projected to generate 1,551 direct jobs and support nearly 5,000 more through indirect livelihoods.
Institutional collaboration is also a major part of the May calendar. The University of Hyderabad and IIIT-Hyderabad signed an MoU around May 22 to deepen joint work in semiconductor research and interdisciplinary deep-tech programmes, reinforcing the State’s broader ambitions in chip design and advanced manufacturing talent.
While January and December remain Telangana’s marquee months for spiking MoU numbers, June 2026 told a more varied story as investments and partnerships spread across technology, mining, cross-State investor outreach and international cooperation. Here’s how the month broke down, sector by sector.
T-Mobile inaugurated its 2.5-lakh-sq-ft Global Technology Centre in Hyderabad, with plans to build a workforce of nearly 1,000 by 2027 across engineering, data, cybersecurity and digital technologies.
Hyderabad’s technology corridor added two new global entrants this month. US-based AI and data security company Theom launched its India operations with a new Hyderabad office, announced on June 10. The company said it would hire more than 50 people within the quarter, building engineering, product development and innovation teams to support its global scale-up.
State-owned NLC India Limited was declared preferred bidder for the Govindpur Vanadium, Titanium and Aluminous Laterite Block in Sangareddy district, following an e-auction conducted by the Ministry of Mines on June 11-12. It signals growing interest in Telangana’s mineral resources and their potential role in emerging industries.
NLC India’s selection as the preferred bidder for the Govindpur block adds a critical-minerals dimension to Telangana’s investment landscape. The Sangareddy block contains vanadium and titanium-bearing resources, minerals used in sectors including energy storage, aerospace, defence and advanced manufacturing.
In a development that underlined Hyderabad’s pull as an investment venue beyond its own State’s borders, the Chhattisgarh government held its Investor Connect roadshow in the city around June 12. Seven companies signed MoUs worth a combined Rs. 9,580 crore, expected to generate over 7,800 direct jobs for Chhattisgarh.
Though it didn’t do much for Telangana’s job market or investment growth, the event was a reminder that Hyderabad now doubles as a preferred stage for other States courting capital, even as Telangana competes for the same investor attention.
On the diplomatic front, Telangana signed an MoU with the German State of Thuringia to deepen cooperation in technology, skill training, startups and life sciences. The agreement, signed by Minister-President Mario Voigt and Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, centred on AI-led skilling programmes, German-language training initiatives, and early-stage exploration of semiconductor investment opportunities.
The meeting also brought together German business leaders from optics, photonics, precision engineering, life sciences, MedTech, defence and aerospace.
