Telangana Rising Global Summit to be an Annual Investment Promotion Event at Future City

Hyderabad: The state government is set to institutionalise the Telangana Rising Global Summit as its flagship annual investment promotion event. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has asked officials to organise the second edition of the summit on a grand scale in December at Bharat Future City, official sources told Deccan Chronicle. The twin objectives are to attract investments and strengthening Telangana’s profile as a global business destination, sources said.

Sources added that Chief Minister had instructed officials of the industries and IT departments, along with the Future City Development Authority (FCDA), to begin preparations for the upcoming edition, which will place special emphasis on bringing together delegates and top executives from Fortune 500 companies.

The move is closely linked to Revanth Reddy’s vision for Bharat Future City, a mega development project conceived by him on the outskirts of Hyderabad. The Chief Minister is keen to showcase the rapid progress of the project before global investors and attract investments in key sectors such as artificial intelligence, information technology, advanced manufacturing, healthcare and eco-tourism.

The first building in Future City was inaugurated by the Chief Minister on June 10 when he opened the headquarters of the Future City Development Authority. The second major facility, the Young India Skills University campus, is nearing completion and is expected to be inaugurated in the coming months.

The decision to host the annual investors’ summit at Bharat Future City is part of the Chief Minister’s strategy to popularise the project internationally while simultaneously drawing investments into its priority sectors. Revanth Reddy had announced the Future City project and subsequently chose the same venue for Telangana’s first global investors’ summit to showcase its potential to international investors.

Several states, including Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, regularly organise global investors’ meets to attract investments. In the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh too, such events were held, including the Partnership Summit organised at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre in 2012. However, after the formation of Telangana, the previous BRS government discontinued the practice and no major global investors’ summit was held during its nine-year tenure.

After the Congress government assumed office in December 2023, it revived the tradition by organising the first Telangana Rising Global Summit in December 2025.

The Chief Minister named the event “Telangana Rising Global Summit” in line with his “Telangana Rising 2047” vision document, which aims to transform the state into a USD 1 trillion economy by 2034 and a USD 3 trillion economy by 2047.

The inaugural two-day summit, held on December 8 and 9, 2025, received an overwhelming response from investors and industry leaders. Telangana secured investment commitments worth ₹5.75 lakh crore, the highest mobilisation of prospective investments in the state’s history. The summit highlighted Telangana’s growing prominence as a destination for global capital across deep-tech, digital infrastructure, manufacturing, life sciences, clean energy, tourism and financial services, encouraging the government to make it an annual event.

Spread across more than 30,000 acres, Bharat Future City consists of a 15,000-acre core urban zone integrating specialised clusters for AI and IT, advanced manufacturing, education and health sectors. The remaining 15,000 acres have been earmarked for urban forestry, green spaces and eco-friendly tourism projects, making it one of the largest planned urban development initiatives in the country.
