CM Revanth Reddy laid out a detailed investment and development roadmap for Telangana at the annual conclave of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Thursday laid out a detailed investment and development roadmap for Telangana at the annual conclave of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), where he outlined his vision of building a $1 trillion state economy by 2034 and a $3 trillion SGDP by 2047.
The Chief Minister said that Telangana offered significant opportunities for global investors. He noted that Hyderabad was centrally located, and had stable security conditions, good weather and world-class infrastructure, and argued that the city served as a gateway to the Indian market and a major destination for GCC investments.
The Chief Minister outlined flagship projects including the proposed Bharat Future City, planned across 30,000 acres, which he said that would become one of India's most advanced urban centres. He added that the River Musi Rejuvenation Project would deliver a riverfront experience comparable to London, Tokyo, Dubai or Seoul and would strengthen Hyderabad's night-time economy.
He also detailed infrastructure initiatives such as a dry port, expansion of the Hyderabad Metro Rail, the Regional Ring Road (RRR), new radial roads, and a manufacturing corridor between the RRR and Outer Ring Road (ORR). Telangana, he said, aimed to position itself as a leading global "China-plus-one" alternative.
Reddy said that the key priorities of his government included women's economic empowerment, high-quality education and skilling, and rapid urban development - particularly the goal of making Hyderabad a world-class city with top-tier amenities and a superior quality of life. He added that the State had a history of being investor-friendly with governments led by the Congress and other parties consistently supporting investors for 35 years, and urged global firms to "come and invest in my State".
He also invited leading global universities to set up offshore campuses in Hyderabad, and said that institutions such as Harvard, Stanford or Oxford could enable Global South students to access Ivy-League-level education at lower costs and with easier visa pathways.
Reddy added that his government would also consider naming important roads in Hyderabad after major corporations instead of political leaders, suggesting names such as Google, Meta, TCS or Infosys for streets.
Reactions at the conclave were strongly positive. John Chambers, former CEO of Cisco, described the Chief Minister's vision as "bold, clear, very achievable" and said that Revanth Reddy's presentation of game-changing projects and their social impact was "very impressive", offering his full support.
USISPF CEO and President Dr Mukesh Aghi said that forum members had responded favourably to the Chief Minister's invitation. He said that many planned to attend the Telangana Rising Global Summit on December 8 and 9 in Hyderabad, where the State would unveil its comprehensive development roadmap.
