Telangana has begun a coordinated effort to attract investments in automobile manufacturing, electric vehicles, charging infrastructure and battery technology ahead of the Invest Telangana Global Summit-2026, with the state government seeking industry inputs on policy and infrastructure requirements.
The first meeting of the executive council for the automobile and electric vehicles sector was held at the Secretariat on Wednesday under the chairmanship of Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar. About 25 industrialists and representatives of leading companies took part in the meeting, which was organised virtually.
The discussions covered investment opportunities across automobile manufacturing, electric vehicles, EV charging infrastructure, battery technology and clean mobility. The government also sought suggestions on establishing new industries, expanding existing facilities and addressing policy-related requirements that could affect investment decisions.
The meeting was convened as part of preparations for the Investment Expo to be held during the Global Summit. Participants discussed the involvement of leading automobile and EV companies in the expo, as well as the issues that should be included in a special session on the automobile and EV sectors.
According to the report, industry representatives shared their views on policy support, infrastructure requirements and the assistance needed from the state government to attract investments. The discussions therefore covered not only manufacturing facilities but also the wider ecosystem required for electric mobility, including charging networks and battery-related activity.
Prabhakar said the objective was to make Telangana one of the leading destinations in India for automobile and electric vehicle investments. He also stressed coordination between industries and government departments, linking the proposed investment drive to the creation of employment opportunities.
The meeting identified the preparation of an action plan as a next step. The plan is intended to facilitate investments and strengthen Telangana’s automobile and EV ecosystem. The report did not specify the value of investments under discussion, companies that have committed to projects, locations for proposed facilities or timelines for implementation.
The state government’s immediate focus is to secure industry participation in the summit, frame the sector’s requirements and use the special session to address policy and infrastructure concerns raised by companies.
