HCLTech’s new devliery centre opened in Hyderabad by Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy. He spoke about Telangana’s potential to attract investments, Hyderabad’s competition with global cities.

Telangana and Hyderabad are among the fastest growing States and cities in India and over the past one year received highest investments as well as emerged on top of the list in terms of Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption, according to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy.

Noting that many who doubted the ability to achieve the targets were now veering around, Mr. Reddy said a pointer to ‘Telangana Raising’ were domestic and foreign firms investments the State has been attracting. Referring to his investment promotion visits abroad, since assuming office in December 2023, he said while one of trips helped attract ₹40,000 crore investment proposals, another saw firms committing to invest ₹1.78 lakh crore.

Hyderabad is leading in electric vehicle (EV) adoption and the government has transformed the State into a hub for datacentres, green energy, Life Sciences, skills, manufacturing and agri processing, he said.

We will accommodate about 5,000 people in the new delivery centre and continue to expand as we scale our business.”
