Telangana Rising Global Summit 2.0: Dy CM Vikramarka pushes roadshows for December investor meet
Synopsis
Telangana is gearing up to outdo its own investment summit from last year — and this time, the government is deploying a war room, daily chief secretary reviews, and international roadshows to make it count. The December event will also see the unveiling of the state's 'Future City' plan, raising the stakes well beyond a routine investor meet.

Telangana Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Wednesday, 26 August called for an aggressive push through domestic and international roadshows to draw investors ahead of the Telangana Rising Global Summit 2.0, scheduled for 7–9 December in Hyderabad. The directive came during a cabinet sub-committee meeting chaired by Vikramarka at Mahatma Phule Praja Bhavan.
War Room and Oversight Mechanism
Vikramarka directed officials to establish a dedicated war room at Praja Bhavan to coordinate summit preparations. He instructed that the Chief Secretary oversee the war room under a senior official and spend at least one hour daily reviewing progress. Invitation letters to prospective guests for the Invest Telangana Summit are to be expedited without delay.
Key Officials and Committees
The meeting was attended by Ministers Uttam Kumar Reddy and Duddilla Sridhar Babu, Chief Secretary Sanjai Jaju, and other senior officials. Vikramarka stressed that committees formed for the summit must include the right mix of domain experts and key officials, and that every committee must fulfil its responsibilities within set timelines.
MoU Progress Under Review
A specific committee has been tasked with conducting a comprehensive analysis of the current implementation status of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) signed during last year's inaugural summit. This signals a shift in focus from signing intent to tracking actual investment follow-through — a persistent challenge for state-level investor summits across India.
What the Summit Will Showcase
The three-day summit, themed 'Invest Telangana', will spotlight opportunities in defence, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals, alongside exhibitions featuring Telangana startups and industry innovations. Notably, the government plans to unveil its 'Future City' plan at the summit — a significant policy reveal that was not part of the first edition.
The Telangana Cabinet decided on 14 August to hold the second summit on a larger scale than its predecessor, where the 'Telangana Rising 2047' vision was first unveiled. With the bar raised and a new urban blueprint set for public reveal, the December event is shaping up as a marquee moment for the state's economic agenda.
Point of View
The 'Future City' reveal is a high-risk, high-reward move — if the plan lacks specifics, it could overshadow the investment narrative rather than amplify it. State summits have a credibility problem nationally; Telangana needs conversion numbers, not just headline commitments, to stand apart.
