MSMEs are the backbone of Telangana’s economy, and their transition towards green manufacturing is essential for achieving the vision of a ‘Rising Telangana.’ The launch of the Telangana MSME Greening Dashboard and associated digital tools reflects Telangana’s commitment to technology-driven governance and data-backed clean industrial transformation. Our objective is not only to support industrial growth, but to position Telangana as a national leader in sustainable and responsible industrial development,” said Sridhar Babu.
