Telangana Industries and IT Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu has invited companies to establish new facilities and expand existing operations in the state, offering government support across infrastructure, technology, manufacturing, energy and urban mobility sectors.
The minister made the appeal during separate meetings with company representatives on the sidelines of the Bharat Summit 2026 at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre. The discussions focused on investment opportunities and the potential for business expansion in Telangana.
Representatives from Turkey, Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States took part in the interactions, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle. The meetings covered infrastructure, electronics, information technology and IT-enabled services, minerals, electronics system design and manufacturing, telecommunications, mobile manufacturing, engineering, urban mobility, battery-cell technology and energy storage.
The discussions also included trade facilitation, supply chains, pharmaceutical manufacturing and waste-to-energy. The breadth of sectors places the outreach at the intersection of industrial development and urban systems, including logistics, energy infrastructure, manufacturing capacity, mobility networks and waste management.
Sridhar Babu highlighted Telangana’s industrial infrastructure, skilled workforce and investor-oriented policies as strengths of the state. He also pointed to opportunities in electronics, advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, clean energy, battery storage, telecommunications, engineering and IT and IT-enabled services.
The minister urged companies to set up new facilities in Telangana and expand their current operations. He assured representatives that the state government would provide the necessary support for setting up industries and growing business activity.
The outreach is significant for the state’s urban and infrastructure planning because several of the sectors discussed require supporting systems beyond individual factories or offices. Electronics and mobile manufacturing depend on industrial land, power, logistics and supply chains, while battery storage and clean energy projects require energy infrastructure and regulatory coordination. Urban mobility, pharmaceuticals and waste-to-energy also involve public agencies and city-level systems.
However, the report does not disclose the value of any proposed investment, the names of companies considering expansion, the locations of potential facilities or a schedule for project execution. It also does not state whether any memorandum of understanding or other binding agreement was signed during the meetings.
The minister said the government’s objective was to convert investments into industries and industries into employment opportunities, with the wider aim of accelerating Telangana’s economic growth. The next concrete milestones will depend on whether the discussions lead to identified projects, formal commitments and implementation plans.
