Revanth Reddy announced that the state would unveil its new Aerospace and Defence Policy 2.0 soon, aiming to position the region as India's top industrial hub for defence manufacturing, aerospace, space technology, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), and drone technology. Speaking at the Raksha Expo-2026, Reddy highlighted Telangana's strategic position, boasting important research institutions and strategic establishments linked to the Indian Army and Air Force. Despite being a landlocked state, the region contributes significantly to the Indian Navy through the VLF naval radar facility under construction in Vikarabad district. Reddy emphasized the importance of moving beyond importing defence technologies and becoming an exporter of advanced defence solutions. He urged domestic and global companies to increase their investments in defence-related sectors and assured them of the government's support in meeting their needs. Reddy expressed confidence in Telangana's ability to enhance its share of the national economy to 10% by 2047, stating that defense manufacturing, aerospace, and allied industries would be pivotal in achieving this goal.",
