Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Saturday, 18 July 2026, announced that the Telangana government will allocate 1,000 square yards of land adjacent to Shilparamam in Hyderabad for the construction of the headquarters of FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO), the women's wing of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI). The announcement was made during a meeting with FLO representatives at Bodhi Pavilion, MCR HRD Institute, held on the occasion of the FLO Hyderabad chapter's 25th anniversary.
Context
The meeting brought together senior government officials, FLO's national and Hyderabad leadership, and women entrepreneurs to mark a quarter-century of the FLO Hyderabad chapter. Representatives also briefed the Chief Minister on events planned as FICCI — founded in 1927 — approaches its centenary year in 2027. The Chief Minister outlined the state government's ongoing programmes for women's empowerment during the interaction.
Addressing the gathering, CM Revanth Reddy said that positioning the FICCI FLO office between Hitec City and the CII office would make the area a distinct institutional landmark for industry bodies in Hyderabad. The proposed site next to Shilparamam in the Madhapur zone sits at the heart of the city's established IT and services corridor.
Policy Backdrop
Telangana has, since its formation in 2014, used targeted land allocations to anchor national industry bodies within emerging business clusters, strengthening the institutional ecosystem around Hitec City. The state has also run dedicated women-focused schemes and sector-specific industrial parks to improve female labour-force participation and entrepreneurship.
At Saturday's event, the Chief Minister additionally announced that 1 acre of land would be allocated to FICCI for its headquarters within the state's flagship greenfield project, Bharat Future City. He invited FICCI to become a formal partner in the project, which is designed to attract Fortune 500 companies. The CM noted that women entrepreneurs would play a 'very crucial role' in the success of Bharat Future City.
Referencing an earlier success, the Chief Minister said the government would explore developing an additional industrial park focused on women's empowerment, citing the track record of the industrial park already run under the FICCI FLO banner. He observed that nations where women have advanced economically tend to show stronger overall economic growth and higher living standards.
Stakeholders and Impact
The announcement directly benefits FLO Hyderabad, which has operated for 25 years without a dedicated headquarters. A permanent office between Hitec City and the CII office would give the organisation a stable institutional base within Hyderabad's primary business district. Women entrepreneurs affiliated with FLO across Telangana stand to gain from the closer proximity to policymakers and industry networks.
The Chief Minister also proposed that FICCI, under its FLO wing, institute annual awards recognising women's self-help groups and associations excelling in business. He committed to holding a dedicated review meeting every three months to track progress on support measures for women entrepreneurs, signalling an intent to institutionalise the engagement beyond a one-time event.
Senior officials present included Telangana Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju, CM Advisor K. Ramakrishna Rao, FLO National President Pooja Garg, and FLO Hyderabad Chairperson Seeta Reddy Gaddam, alongside a cross-section of women entrepreneurs.
What's Next
The formal land-allotment process for both the Shilparamam-adjacent FLO headquarters site and the Bharat Future City plot will be watched closely as the next concrete step. A potential partnership agreement between FICCI and the Bharat Future City project is also expected to take shape ahead of FICCI's 2027 centenary. The promised quarterly review meetings between the Chief Minister and women entrepreneur groups will serve as a gauge of the government's sustained commitment to translating Saturday's announcements into policy outcomes.
Point of View
High-visibility policy lever to deepen ties with national industry bodies. By co-locating FLO between Hitec City and the CII office, the government is physically institutionalising women's enterprise networks within its most prized commercial zone. The quarterly review pledge and proposed annual awards suggest an attempt to convert a ceremonial anniversary meeting into a durable governance mechanism. Whether the land allotments are formalised before FICCI's 2027 centenary will be the real test of follow-through.
