CM Revanth to Investors: No Need for Doubts Over Centre-Telangana Govt Relations
Centre is supporting TG's growth, the CM says
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has urged investors to not have any doubts or apprehensions over relations between the BJP-led government at the Centre and the Congress government in Telangana, asserting that they were supporting each other and working together to achieve their common goals for 2047. While the Centre was pursuing its Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, the Congress government in the state was working towards Telangana Rising 2047, with the state aiming to contribute 10 per cent of India's GDP by 2047.
Political differences would not come in the way of development or investment, Revanth Reddy told the curtain-raiser event of the Invest Telangana Global Summit 2026 in Delhi on Thursday, attended by Union commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal, industrialists, CEOs of global companies and representatives of industry bodies,
“Many investors ask what the Centre-State relations will be like, given that there is a BJP government at the Centre and a Congress government in Telangana. Will this affect their businesses? I want to assure them that there is no need for such apprehensions,” he said.
Pointing to the Centre's support for Telangana, the Chief Minister said Union minister Piyush Goyal had explained the relationship between the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister in the context of development. The Centre had decided to establish seven high-speed rail corridors in the country, of which three had been allotted to Hyderabad — towards Chennai, Bengaluru and Pune. The Centre was also supporting the state by facilitating two new airports at Warangal and Adilabad.
From the Regional Ring Road and Metro Rail expansion to the Navy's low-frequency radar station and several other schemes, Telangana was receiving support from the Centre, he said. “In developing India and serving the people, there is no place for party politics,” he asserted, urging investors to focus on the opportunities available in the state rather than political differences.
Emphasising the need for an investment-friendly administration, Revanth Reddy said, “I believe what cannot be measured cannot be managed. We need less government rather than more government to enable growth. My job is to remove speed breakers in your path to success.”
He said Hyderabad's competition was no longer confined to Indian cities. “My competition for Hyderabad is with New York, London, Tokyo, Seoul and Dubai,” he said, calling upon investors and industry leaders to help the government realise this ambition.
The Chief Minister asked investors to share their best ideas and policy inputs, assuring them that their suggestions would be translated into government policy. Hyderabad, he said, possessed a global outlook and an entrepreneurial spirit, with a strong tradition of reforms and business enterprise.
Recalling the city's investment history, he said governments led by different political parties had ruled Hyderabad since 1991, with leaders holding divergent political views, but all had contributed to and supported its investment story. He said this continuity demonstrated that Hyderabad's growth transcended party politics.
“It is my personal commitment that your investment will be safe and will grow. I will be the custodian of your investment in my state,” he said. Revanth Reddy asked investors to decide how much they intended to invest in Telangana, without having to disclose the amount to him or anyone else. He urged them to double their planned investment, growth projections and expected profits, and then tell him what they needed from the government to achieve those targets.
“Whatever you need, from policy to support, I will personally guarantee,” he said, inviting investors to communicate their expectations and work with the government to expand their businesses.
Outlining his economic vision, the Chief Minister said Telangana Rising 2047 was aligned with the Centre's Viksit Bharat 2047 goal. With India aspiring to become a $30-trillion economy by 2047, Telangana aimed to contribute 10 per cent of the country's GDP, compared with its current contribution of around five per cent.
He said the state had set ambitious targets of becoming a $1-trillion economy by 2034 and a $3-trillion economy by 2047. Achieving these milestones would require sustained investments, reforms, industrial expansion and cooperation between the government and the private sector, he indicated.
