Revanth Reddy unveils ‘Telangana Plus China’ vision

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has announced an ambitious development strategy aimed at transforming the state into a global economic powerhouse.

Dubbed the ‘Telangana Plus China’ vision, the plan positions Telangana as a premier alternative to China for international companies seeking to diversify their manufacturing and innovation bases.

$1 trillion economy!

Revanth Reddy outlined his roadmap to build a $1 trillion economy within the next decade, leveraging the global ‘China Plus One’ shift.

“Our objective is to establish Telangana as a ‘Telangana Plus China’ destination—offering unmatched opportunities across sectors like manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, aerospace, defense, electric vehicles, and solar energy,” he said.

Reddy highlighted Hyderabad’s rise as India’s top-performing city for electric vehicle (EV) adoption and unveiled plans for a massive EV and industrial manufacturing corridor between the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and the upcoming Regional Ring Road (RRR).

This facility, he claimed, will be among the largest globally, catering to the demand for resilient, diversified supply chains.

A cornerstone of the CM’s vision is the creation of ‘Future City’—a futuristic, 30,000-acre, net-zero carbon urban center to be developed between the Srisailam and Nagarjuna Sagar highways. Designed to rival global cities such as New York, London, and Dubai, Future City will include a dedicated AI City, hyperscale data centers, specialized educational institutions, and an exclusive AI University aimed at preparing Telangana’s youth for high-tech careers.

Competition with the world’s best

“Hyderabad will no longer just compete with other Indian cities—it will stand shoulder to shoulder with the world’s best,” Reddy declared. Acknowledging Telangana’s landlocked geography, the CM also announced the development of a Mega Dry Port with seamless rail and road connectivity to the Machilipatnam Port in neighboring Andhra Pradesh, significantly enhancing the state’s logistics infrastructure and export capabilities.
