Cong. will take IT, related sectors to new heights in TS, says Uttam Kumar

Irrigation and civil supplies minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy on Thursday asserted that industries, information technology, and related sectors would rise to unprecedented levels in Telangana under the party’s rule.

He announced plans to promote IT and allied sectors in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, alongside developing new infrastructure and fortifying existing structures. The minister emphasised ensuring equitable development across all regions of Telangana, and not just Hyderabad.

The minister was delivering the inaugural address at the Hyderabad Business Seminar themed ‘Promotion of trade between US and Telangana,’ organised by the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) and American Telugu Association (ATA) at T-Hub.

"Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana continue to offer substantial opportunities for new investors," he said.

He pledged to encourage existing



companies to expand to tier-2 and tier-3 cities while inviting global corporations to explore the vast potential of Telangana.

Uttam Kumar Reddy also emphasised the importance of building a robust foundation for talent acquisition by encouraging higher education. He expressed confidence that the new Congress government would propel Hyderabad and Telangana to unparalleled growth.

Reaffirming a commitment to driving Telangana’s economic landscape to new heights, he also highlighted the legacy of the previous Congress government between 2004 and 2014 in erstwhile undivided Andhra Pradesh.

"Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), the 160-km long Outer Ring Road, the PV Narasimha Rao Expressway corridor, and other infrastructure projects executed by the Congress government laid the foundation for the placement of Hyderabad as a global city," he said.
