Under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, with the “Telangana Rising 2050″ vision, we are shaping our policies and programs to drive sustainable progress. Our strategic roadmap for the next decade envisions a five fold expansion of the current $200 billion state economy into a trillion-dollar economy,” he disclosed.
The Deputy Chief Minister said that to establish Telangana as a leader in modern technology, clean energy, and sustainable development, the State government has formulated the “Mega Master Plan 2050.”
“As part of its initiative, the State government is actively promoting the establishment of solar and wind energy projects, driving the state towards a greener and more energy-efficient future,” Bhatti Vikramarka said.
