PM Modi Launches ₹9400-Crore Projects in Telangana; Revanth Reddy Seeks Fast-Track Clearances for Musi, Metro and Mega Infra Plans

Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched and laid the foundation stone for multiple infrastructure, railway, industrial, and connectivity projects worth around ₹9,400 crore in Telangana during a major public programme held at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC).

The Prime Minister was welcomed at the venue by Governor of Telangana Jishnu Dev Varma and Chief Minister of Telangana A. Revanth Reddy.

The programme was attended by Union Minister for Coal and Mines G. Kishan Reddy, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Telangana Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, and Member of Parliament Konda Vishweshwar Reddy among others.

The projects launched by the Prime Minister included the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park at Warangal, railway infrastructure projects, highway expansion works, and logistics and industrial infrastructure initiatives aimed at strengthening Telangana’s manufacturing and connectivity ecosystem.

Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy described the event as a “celebration of development” rather than merely a Central government programme.

“National security and national development are our highest priorities. Our principle is India first, people next, and party later,” the Chief Minister said.

Revanth Reddy stated that Telangana had fully aligned its “Telangana Rising 2047” vision with the Centre’s “Viksit Bharat 2047” mission and reiterated the state’s ambition to transform into a $1 trillion economy by 2034 and a $3 trillion economy by 2047.

Making a strong pitch for greater Central support, the Chief Minister urged Prime Minister Modi to expedite approvals for several pending Telangana infrastructure proposals, including the Musi River rejuvenation project, Hyderabad Metro Rail expansion, radial roads, and the proposed 12-lane Hyderabad–Machilipatnam highway.

Drawing parallels with Modi’s tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister, Revanth Reddy said the “Gujarat Model” had evolved with the cooperation of the then Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and expressed hope that Telangana too would receive similar support from the Centre.

“Just as Manmohan Singh extended cooperation for Gujarat’s growth, Telangana also expects your support and blessings for its development journey,” he said.

The Chief Minister stressed that India’s future economic growth would be driven largely by six major metropolitan cities — Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad — and called for focused infrastructure support to these urban centres.

To accelerate project implementation, Revanth Reddy proposed the creation of a dedicated “Single-Window Task Force” within the Prime Minister’s Office to ensure faster clearances for nationally significant infrastructure projects in major metropolitan regions.

He urged the Prime Minister to personally review Telangana’s pending proposals concerning the Musi Riverfront development project, Metro Rail expansion, radial road connectivity, and the Hyderabad–Machilipatnam economic corridor.

“Telangana knows you are large-hearted. Today, the people of Telangana wish to witness it firsthand through approvals for the state’s pending development projects,” the Chief Minister remarked.

Revanth Reddy also said that with the Assembly elections in five states now concluded, the country’s focus should shift fully toward development, infrastructure expansion, employment generation, and economic growth.

Prime Minister Modi’s visit marked his first major development-focused programme in Telangana after the conclusion of the recent Assembly election cycle.
