Telangana CM Revanth Reddy launches Amara Raja EV facility, targets $1 trillion economy by 2034
Synopsis
Telangana CM Revanth Reddy used the inauguration of Amara Raja's EV cell plant in Mahbubnagar to make a pointed economic argument: that building on the best policies of every previous government — not ideology — is how Telangana doubles its GDP share and hits a $1 trillion economy by 2034. The move signals a pragmatic, investment-first pivot under 'Telangana Rising 2047'.

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Wednesday, 15 July inaugurated the EV Cell Manufacturing facility of Amara Raja at the Amara Raja Giga Corridor in Divitipally, Mahbubnagar district, declaring that his government would continue the strongest policies of all previous administrations to drive investment and industrial growth in the state.
Continuity Over Disruption
Addressing the gathering, CM Revanth Reddy said his government is deliberately adopting best practices from the tenures of Chandrababu Naidu (1994–2004), Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy (2004–2014), and the BRS government (2014–December 2023). He stated that his administration has no interest in policy paralysis and would build on what worked, regardless of which party introduced it.
The Chief Minister said the government has rolled out focused policies under the 'Telangana Rising 2047' initiative, centred on promoting industry, tourism, and healthcare. He described the state's development trajectory as 'unstoppable', emphasising that transparent policy-making and infrastructure upgrades are central to attracting fresh capital.
GDP and Economic Targets
CM Revanth Reddy acknowledged that Telangana currently contributes 5 per cent to India's national GDP — a figure he called unsatisfactory. He set out an ambitious roadmap: doubling the state's GDP share to 10 per cent, reaching a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2034, and scaling to a three-trillion-dollar economy by 2047.
This comes amid broader competition among southern states to attract semiconductor, EV, and green-energy investments. Telangana's push positions it directly against peers like Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu in the race for industrial capital.
Water Allocation Talks and Mahbubnagar Announcement
The Chief Minister announced that negotiations are underway with a neighbouring state for an allocation of 90 TMC of water for the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme and 30 TMC for the Dindi project. He said he would soon share 'good news' with the people of Mahbubnagar district once the talks conclude.
Amara Raja EV Unit: Jobs, Women Empowerment, and Climate
CM Revanth Reddy stressed that farmers who surrendered land for the Amara Raja facility must be given priority employment in the new EV cell manufacturing unit. He noted that the existing unit in Divitipally employs 700 workers, of whom 400 are women — a figure he cited as evidence of meaningful women's empowerment.
He praised Amara Raja for benchmarking its operations against EV leaders in China, Japan, Germany, and South Korea, calling it a 'proud moment' that the company is now competing with China in the EV sector.
Expressing concern over rising pollution and climate change, the CM said the El Niño effect has reduced rainfall and hurt farmers. He argued that electric vehicles are essential to cutting pollution, noting that climatic disruption has intensified since the COVID-19 pandemic. With the Amara Raja Giga Corridor now operational, Telangana's EV manufacturing ambitions move from policy paper to factory floor.
Point of View
Not just rhetorical, change. The EV push is credible on paper, but the water negotiation subplot — 90 TMC for Palamuru-Rangareddy — is the story within the story: without irrigation security, Mahbubnagar's farmer-to-factory-worker transition remains fragile. Mainstream coverage is missing that linkage entirely.
