CM invites investments from UK, assures policy continuity and support
Mr. Revanth Reddy interacts with high level delegation from the UK
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy welcomed United Kingdom investors and businesses, emphasizing the state's policy stability, abundant skilled workforce, and favorable business environment. The visit was organized by a high-ranking UK delegation, including mayors from South Yorkshire, York, North Yorkshire, and West Yorkshire, led by Oliver Coppard, David Skaith, and Tracy Brabin.
The UK delegation sought to fortify regional collaborations in trade, investment, innovation, education, and culture with Telangana, considering the recently signed India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). Reddy highlighted that Telangana, as the youngest state in the nation, has become a dynamic hub in areas such as IT, pharma, life sciences, biotechnology, aerospace, defense, and other sectors.
He invited UK-based investors and industrialists to participate in the upcoming Invest Telangana Global Summit in December, at Bharat Future City. Reddy recalled that former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair had played a crucial role in developing Telangana's long-term development plan, 'Telangana Rising 2047,' which included contributions from global leaders, economists, tech executives, and industrialists.
During the meeting, the UK mayors expressed interest in exploring Telangana's potential in advanced manufacturing, healthcare, digital technology, defense, aerospace, technical textiles, skills, and research and development (R&D). They emphasized the alignment of interests between Yorkshire, with 150,000 businesses across sectors, and Telangana, which boasts the highest per capita GDP among Indian states.
The Chief Minister shared that Hyderabad successfully hosted the 72nd Miss World Pageant in May 2025 amidst geopolitical challenges. He also stressed the state government's focus on equipping the youth with the necessary skills to adapt to the future, particularly in the context of artificial intelligence. Reddy presented the UK-India Business Council's report 'UK-India CETA & Regional Synergies.'
Earlier, IT & Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu encouraged the delegation to investigate Hyderabad's Genome Valley and its flourishing innovation ecosystem. He reminded the delegation that the Chief Minister had recently visited the UK to establish partnerships with prestigious universities and businesses.
