PM Modi inaugurates Rs9,400 crore infrastructure and industrial projects in Telangana

Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of multiple infrastructure and industrial projects worth around 9,400 crore rupees in Telangana.

These projects collectively aim to strengthen connectivity, improve logistics efficiency, enhance safety and provide a better travel experience for people.

The event, held at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre, was attended by Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy and other senior leaders.

Addressing the gathering, Prime Minister Modi said, India is effectively managing the energy crisis arising from the West Asia conflict due to the steps taken by the Centre, adding that the restrained use of fuel is the need of the hour. He said imported petroleum products should be used only as required, which would help save foreign exchange and reduce the adverse impact of the ongoing conflict. He also said that India has emerged as one of the leading countries in solar power generation.

Among the major projects unveiled include, PM MITRA Park in Warangal, also known as the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park. Built at an estimated cost of around 1,700 crore rupees, it is the country’s first fully operational PM MITRA Park and is aimed at creating an integrated textile ecosystem under the Centre’s “5F” vision – spanning farm, fibre, factory, fashion and foreign markets.

PM Modi said, there was a time when India ranked among the world’s leading economies, with the textile industry serving as one of the strongest pillars of its growth story. He said the sector is now being prepared for a fresh phase of expansion. He added that the PM MITRA Park in Warangal will provide new momentum to the country’s textile industry, with units in the park set to benefit from multiple central government schemes aimed at boosting manufacturing and exports.

The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for the the four-laning of National Highway-167 between Gudebellur and Mahabubnagar as part of the Hyderabad-Panaji Economic Corridor, and the development of the Zaheerabad Industrial Area in Sangareddy district.
