“Telangana is not competing with other States. Our competition is with global cities like Singapore, Tokyo and New York. To realise this vision, consistent support from the Centre is essential,” he said while addressing the regional meeting of urban development ministers for south-west States, chaired by Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.

The Chief Minister stressed that several major proposals concerning Telangana remain pending with the Centre. Reiterating his earlier description of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a bade bhai (elder brother), he said the Prime Minister must show magnanimity toward all States, just as he does for his home State of Gujarat, to ensure timely clearances and accelerate regional development.

Revanth Reddy said the State government will release the Telangana Rising Vision Document 2047 on 9 December. The blueprint reflects the State’s ambition to become a USD 1 trillion economy by 2034 and a USD 3 trillion economy by 2047. He added that Telangana aims to contribute 10 per cent of India’s GDP in the coming decades, aligning with the Prime Minister’s target of building a USD 30 trillion national economy under the Viksit Bharat 2047 mission.

Seeking the Centre’s active cooperation, he said projects such as Musi rejuvenation, Metro Rail expansion, long-term water security for Hyderabad through Godavari diversion and the RRR would serve as game-changers for the State. He noted that Hyderabad is experiencing rapid urban growth and requires next-generation infrastructure to evolve into one of the world’s most vibrant global cities.

The Chief Minister informed Khattar that the State government is advancing its sustainability agenda by promoting electric mobility and lowering emissions. As part of these efforts, 3,000 electric buses will be introduced in Hyderabad next year. He also highlighted Telangana’s zero-carbon goals and policies supporting the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.

Revanth Reddy presented details of the proposed Bharat Future City project, rising global investment in emerging urban clusters and the upcoming Dry Port, which is expected to strengthen Telangana’s logistics ecosystem and enhance its economic competitiveness. He said these initiatives would attract significant investment and create new engines of growth. He added that the government is committed to building a modern, innovation-driven Telangana equipped to meet future challenges, with support from both the Union government and global investors.

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Tuesday urged the Union government to expedite long-pending approvals for major infrastructure projects in Telangana, including the Musi River Rejuvenation Project, Phase-II expansion of the Hyderabad Metro Rail, diversion of Godavari water to the capital region and the Regional Ring Road (RRR). He said these initiatives are essential to transforming Hyderabad into a globally competitive metropolis capable of standing alongside cities such as Tokyo, Singapore and New York. “Telangana is not competing with other States.
