TELANGANA: Trump Media Tech Lines Up Mega Investments
Summit Ignites Global Interest
The Telangana Rising Global Summit 2025 kicked off with a bang, drawing over 1,000 delegates from 44 countries to Bharat Future City near Hyderabad.
Held on December 8-9, this two-day event spotlights the state’s push toward a $1 trillion economy by 2034 and $3 trillion by 2047.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy unveiled the innovative CURE-PURE-RARE economic zones model, aiming to blend urban innovation with rural prosperity.
What stands out is how Telangana positions itself not just as a player, but a leader in global tech and green growth.
Sessions on AI, defense, and renewables buzz with ideas that could reshape India’s southern hub.
Trump Media’s Bold Billion Bet
Eric Swider, director of Trump Media and Technology Group, stole the spotlight by pledging Rs.1 lakh crore over the next decade in Telangana’s Bharat Future City.
He hailed India’s tech surge, saying it’s impossible to ignore the talent flowing from here to the world.
This massive infusion targets media tech and innovation hubs, signaling confidence in the state’s vision.
Swider’s words carried weight, especially with a nod to U.S.-India ties; the state even named a Hyderabad street after former President Trump.
For locals, it’s a promise of jobs and cutting-edge projects that could turn dreams into daily realities.
Adani’s Deep Roots and New Horizons
Karan Adani, managing director of Adani Ports and SEZ, detailed the group’s Rs.10,000 crore outlay in Telangana over three years, creating 7,000 jobs already.
Key focuses include a 48 MW green data center for AI and cloud tech, worth Rs.2,500 crore, plus renewable energy and cement plants adding 7 MTPA capacity.
Their defense and aerospace park in Hyderabad boasts India’s first long-endurance UAV facility, supplying the armed forces and eyeing exports.
- Defense Edge: UAVs built here boost self-reliance, with direct jobs for 1,500 youth.
- Infra Boost: Rs.4,000 crore in roads links districts like Mancherial and Khammam.
- Green Push: Cement investments at Rs.2,000 crore fuel sustainable building.
Adani’s commitment feels personal, like a family bet on Telangana’s rise, blending big money with real community impact.
Future City Wins Industry Cheers
R. Dinesh, former CII president and executive chairman of TVS Supply Chain Solutions, praised the Future City concept as a game-changer for urban planning.
He called Telangana’s rapid growth inspiring and lauded the summit for uniting global firms on one stage.
Dinesh announced plans for a book on Future City, drawing from his logistics expertise to outline smart, sustainable blueprints.
His enthusiasm stems from years steering CII, where he championed family businesses and supply chains. “Telangana’s vision excites because it’s practical,” he noted, offering partnership in logistics to make the city a seamless global gateway.
Vision 2047 Takes Flight
As the summit wraps, the Telangana Rising 2047 document launches, mapping inclusive growth with inputs from Nobel laureates like Abhijit Banerjee.
Expect MoUs worth Rs.3 lakh crore, from TCS-TPG data centers to Ajay Devgn’s film studio. Governor Jishnu Dev Varma urged stability for this leap, while speakers like Biocon’s Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw stressed health-tech ties.
This isn’t just talk; it’s a roadmap where every investment plants seeds for tomorrow’s jobs and skylines.
Telangana’s story reminds us how bold ideas, when grounded in action, can redefine a region’s destiny.
