Hyderabad: In view of growing interest from multinational conglomerates in establishing global capability centres (GCCs) in Telangana, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Wednesday directed officials to formulate a policy aimed at encouraging companies to set up operations beyond the Hyderabad Core Urban Regional Economy (CURE) area.
He instructed officials to promote areas alongside the Nizamabad, Karimnagar and Warangal highways, beyond the ORR in the northern and eastern parts of Hyderabad metropolis, to establish GCCs, as well as data centres, as part of the government’s efforts to decentralise investments and generate balanced regional development.
Revanth Reddy proposed the introduction of an escort officer system to provide end-to-end support to prospective investors, from their arrival in Hyderabad until the grounding of operations. He suggested examining the appointment of Group-1 level officers for the purpose. He also directed officials to study the industrial policies of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat to adopt best practices in industrial promotion and governance.
The Chief Minister, along with industries and IT minister D. Sridhar Babu, held a high-level review meeting on issues related to the IT and industries departments. Chief Secretary K. Ramakrishna Rao, Chief Minister’s special secretary B. Ajith Reddy, Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC) vice-chairman and managing director K. Shashanka, IT and communications joint secretary Anudeep Durishetty, industries commissioner Nikhil Chakravarthi and senior officials attended the meeting.
During the review, the Chief Minister recommended that specific clusters be identified beyond the CURE area to encourage the decentralisation of GCCs to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.
Revanth Reddy directed officials to ensure that Bharat Future City (BFC) was developed on net-zero principles while maintaining the highest global standards in engineering and infrastructure. He said there should be no compromise on quality and instructed officials to study internationally renowned cities while preparing the master plan for the ambitious project. He emphasised that trunk infrastructure should be developed as a priority in the proposed zones before any land allotments are taken up.
The Chief Minister also instructed officials to accelerate works relating to the proposed AI City in Bharat Future City after studying best practices in artificial intelligence infrastructure across the world. He asked officials to expedite all works in BFC so that foundation stone laying ceremonies for various facilities in the industrial corridor could be held at the earliest, including industrial units proposed in the Future City Industrial Park during June.
Revanth Reddy said companies receiving land allotments in Bharat Future City should be encouraged to sign memoranda of understanding (MoUs) for skilling and certification programmes to meet their future workforce requirements. He also directed officials to attract internationally reputed companies and institutions to the Future City project.
