He emphasized that the lands earmarked for industrial development should be arid and non-cultivable to safeguard farmers from losses and minimize the potential for pollution, while also being positioned away from residential areas. Acquiring such lands would not only reduce costs but also garner support from farmers for the government's initiatives.

The Chief Minister further instructed concerned officials to provide information on the extent of lands allocated for industrial setups and the remaining unutilized land. Officials were tasked with submitting a comprehensive report on the allocated land's status in various areas, the number of industries established, and their current status.

The government places a premium on decentralizing industrial development and encourages prioritizing non-polluting units. Simultaneously, officials were urged to propose alternatives to industrial clusters in Nacharam, Jeedimetla, and Katedan within the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits. Mr. Revanth Reddy inquired about the status of IDPL lands and requested a detailed report on the matter.

Additionally, officials were directed to explore best practices from the Middle East and Europe for establishing bulk drug units. Efforts should be made to ensure that new industrial units utilize solar energy instead of conventional thermal power.

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has instructed relevant authorities to identify land parcels spanning 500 to 1,000 acres between the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and the proposed Regional Ring Road (RRR) for the development of new industrial clusters. These lands should be situated within a distance of 50 to 100 km from the international airport and national/State highways. The Chief Minister issued these directives during a meeting with senior officials focused on industrial development in the State.
