Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka announced that he would dedicate every Friday to meeting MSME associations and representatives of the industrial sector to discuss their issues and suggestions.
He said industrial growth was about improving people’s livelihoods rather than just attracting investments. The State government’s vision was to ensure that Ease of Doing Business benefits not only large companies but also small industries, women entrepreneurs and rural entrepreneurs.
“To achieve this, meetings will be conducted every Friday with industry representatives,” he said.
The Deputy Chief Minister made these remarks after inaugurating the Industrial Innovation & Technology Expo 2026 at HITEX on Friday.
He stated that Telangana had earned the confidence of investors and witnessed robust industrial growth since the formation of the State. Hyderabad has gained global recognition in the IT, pharmaceuticals and life sciences sectors. However, he emphasised that the State’s growth should not remain confined to the services sector.
“There is a need to increase the contribution of industry, particularly MSMEs, to the State’s GDP. Manufacturing plays a vital role in employment generation and strengthening the rural economy,” Bhatti Vikramarka said.
The Deputy Chief Minister announced that the government has set a target of generating 34 GW of solar power by 2035. Despite the State’s peak power demand rising from 15,000 MW to 18,500 MW over the past two and a half years, Telangana has ensured uninterrupted, quality power supply without any power cuts, he added.
