Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday announced a bold vision for the state to contribute 10 per cent of India’s GDP by 2047, during the Telangana Rising Global Summit 2025. He emphasized that Telangana, currently contributing around five per cent of national GDP with only 2.9 per cent of the population, can achieve exponential growth in the coming decades.

The CM cited the example of Guangdong province in China, which achieved remarkable investment and growth over the past 20 years, as a model for Telangana’s economic transformation. “We want to replicate the same model in Telangana to become India’s most developed state,” he stated.

Reddy outlined a phased economic roadmap, aiming to make Telangana a USD one trillion economy by 2034 and a USD three trillion economy by 2047. The strategy involves dividing the state into three zones: Core Urban Region Economy (CURE), Peri Urban Region Economy (PURE), and Rural Agriculture Region Economy (RARE), targeting urban services, manufacturing, and agriculture respectively.

Union Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy lauded the state’s vision and reiterated the Centre’s support for Telangana’s growth. “India is on track to become the world’s third-largest economy, and Telangana will play a key role in this journey towards ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’,” he said, highlighting collaboration between the state and central governments.

Telangana Governor Jishnu Dev Varma inaugurated the summit, which saw participation from Karnataka Deputy CM D K Shivakumar, corporate leaders, and dignitaries. The event focused on investment opportunities, innovation, and infrastructure development in Telangana.

With a decade since its formation, Telangana is positioning itself as a key economic engine in India, leveraging strategic zoning, investment-friendly policies, and lessons from global success stories to drive long-term growth. The ambitious targets signal a transformative agenda aimed at reshaping the state’s role in the national and global economy.
