Hyderabad: The Telangana government on Sunday unveiled its ambitious ‘Rising 2047’ roadmap. This sets a goal of transforming the state into a $3 trillion economy with a 10% share in India’s GDP by 2047.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy inspected the venue for the upcoming Global Summit, scheduled for December 8 and 9 in Future City. His visit prompted a ramp-up in preparations for the high-profile event. The government will formally present its long-term vision during the summit.
The ‘Telangana Rising 2047’ roadmap outlines a detailed strategy focused on inclusive governance, innovation-led growth, and sustainable development. It includes eight core chapters and three foundational enablers: technology and innovation, efficient financing, and good governance.
Telangana Rising 2047 roadmap focuses on spatial equity and sectoral transformation
At the core of the plan is a spatial development model that divides Telangana into urban, peri-urban, and rural zones. Hyderabad and other key cities will become global hubs for R&D, advanced manufacturing, and high-end innovation.
To sharpen its global edge, the state will invest in deep tech, AI, quantum computing, cybersecurity, aerospace, defence, tourism, and media. Moreover, it plans to strengthen start-up ecosystems, boost MSMEs, and expand exports. These goals will be met by implementing productivity-driven policies and forging global partnerships.
Additionally, officials anticipate these strategic initiatives will attract top-tier manufacturing and knowledge-based investments. The government also intends to improve ease of doing business, strengthen infrastructure, enhance quality of life, and retain skilled talent. As a result, Telangana could position itself as a premier global investment destination.
Youth, women, and farmers drive inclusive growth under the Telangana Rising 2047 roadmap
The roadmap places young people, women, and farmers at the heart of the state’s development agenda. For youth, the government will integrate skill-building with education while creating opportunities in advanced manufacturing, technology, and global sectors. Furthermore, it will set up structured mentorships, apprenticeships, and entrepreneurial networks to support young talent.
For women, the plan proposes enabling one crore women millionaires through tailored, lifecycle-based interventions. These policies will account for the diverse needs of women across different social and economic contexts.
Likewise, the agricultural sector will benefit from expanded access to irrigation, markets, logistics, and advisory services. The state will also promote agri-tech adoption, crop diversification, and value addition to ensure farming remains profitable and sustainable.
Telangana links development to human capital and climate action
Human development stands at the centre of Telangana’s long-term vision. The government aims to strengthen the healthcare system by expanding primary and preventive care, upgrading digital infrastructure, and increasing the capacity of health workers. Key focus areas include chronic disease care, geriatric services, and universal access to affordable healthcare.
Simultaneously, Telangana will work toward achieving net-zero emissions. The state plans to align its economic strategy with climate goals by investing in renewable energy, green infrastructure, and circular economy practices. In addition, regulatory support and financial incentives will encourage both industries and communities to follow low-carbon pathways.
Ultimately, the Global Summit will serve as a platform to present the full vision of Telangana Rising 2047. It will underscore the state’s commitment to long-term, inclusive, and sustainable growth.
