Hyderabad to shape into a truly global city: Uttam Kumar Reddy
Civil Supplies and Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy declared that the Congress government in Telangana will do whatever required to boost investment and industrial growth of the State.
“Our government will be at the forefront... transparent, efficient and business as well as entrepreneur-friendly,” he told the three-day CII IGBC Green Property Show 2024 that got under way at Hitex exhibition centre in the city on Friday.
Stating that the intent is to elevate Hyderabad and Telangana to a global level, he said, “Our government will take all the necessary steps to create real momentum in the construction and real estate sectors and boost investment.”
Claiming that the existing infrastructure in Hyderabad, including the international airport, Outer Ring Road, expressways, flyovers and sourcing of drinking water from the Godavari and Krishna rivers, were developed by the Congress government from 2004 to 2014, Mr. Reddy said that the present government will “build infrastructure in Hyderabad to an unprecedented level... a truly global city in every sense.”
It also intends to transform Hyderabad into a global investment destination that will compete with the world’s top metropolises, he said, adding that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has unveiled plans to develop the Musi riverfront to global standards and expand Metro Rail across the city.
Telangana government would foster a business-friendly environment and ensure Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) levels were highest in the country, he said, pointing to how it is a truly democratic government and not run by a family. “With elections over, we are now focused on governance... address any issues in industry, construction and real estate,” the Minister said, hailing IGBC initiatives aimed at enhanced sustainability.
