Telangana government is ready to launch the “Telangana Rising Vision Document 2047” at a global summit right in the heart of the state’s new ‘Future City’ (Hyderabad, December 8-9, 2025). The event isn’t just for local show—State Chief Minister Revanth Reddy invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself to mark the occasion. At the core of this vision is a staggering goal: push Telangana’s economy to $3 trillion by 2047. To put that in perspective, it means Telangana aims to deliver about 10% of India’s projected GDP by then—a massive jump from its current share. Hitting this mark means the state can’t just coast; even on the most optimistic path, Telangana’s economy would be around $1.2 trillion by 2047.

What’s the Plan to Bridge Such a Gap?

The vision stands on three solid pillars, all built around a shift to a knowledge-driven economy.

First: Human Capital. The government wants to pour resources into education, skill-building, and healthcare, shaping a workforce that can compete anywhere in the world. That effort starts with the basics—strong foundations in learning—but stretches to top-tier research and innovation.

Second: Productivity and Innovation. The state is betting big on boosting Total Factor Productivity. Programs like the ‘Telangana Scientific Return Program’ and ‘EduCities’ are designed to turn research into real-world businesses. The focus is on technology at the cutting edge—AI, Quantum Computing, DeepTech—woven directly into Telangana’s economic fabric.

Third: Investment and Savings. This means pushing domestic savings up and channeling more investment into productive avenues. The government is talking about tight fiscal discipline, deeper financial inclusion, and capital market reforms—making sure every rupee works harder.

So, what does this transformation actually look like? The Vision Document lays out a detailed sectoral roadmap. By 2047, Telangana expects a decisive shift toward high-value services, but it’s not dropping industry or agriculture. Right now, services account for about 65% of the state’s GSDP; that’s set to rise to 70% by 2047, translating to nearly $1.9 trillion of the $3 trillion target. Industry, which now stands at 18%, will become a more specialized contributor, down to 15% (around $0.4 trillion), and agriculture will follow a similar path—also dropping to 15% but still matching industry in sheer value. The upshot: high-end services, powered by technology and knowledge, become the main engine pulling the state forward.

Sector-wise Break-down…

Services lead the charge. With strengths in IT, Global Capability Centres, Life Sciences, Financial Services, and creative industries, Telangana’s services sector is expected to deliver more than two-thirds of the state’s GSDP. That’s the kind of economic profile you see in some of the world’s advanced economies. Industry’s role is all about value addition and specialization. Growth here zeroes in on high-tech manufacturing, clean mobility, aerospace and defence (especially MRO and precision engineering), and semiconductor clusters. The Chief Minister’s push for a Bengaluru-Hyderabad Defence and Aerospace Corridor isn’t just a headline—it’s a key piece of this strategy. Agriculture isn’t left behind. The focus shifts from just growing crops to processing, value addition, and exports—driving rural prosperity not just through production, but by climbing the value chain.

One more layer is - Strategic Area-Based Economic Planning, or S-AEP. The government wants growth to reach every corner of Telangana, so it’s mapped out three functional economic regions.

First, the Core Urban Region Economy (CURE)—driven by Hyderabad and major urban centers—positions itself as a global hub for tech, advanced manufacturing (think Industry 4.0), and R&D.

Next, the Peri-Urban Region Economy (PURE) acts as a bridge, supporting medium-scale manufacturing, logistics, MSMEs, and specialized clusters. Finally, the Rural Agriculture Region Economy (RARE) focuses on sustainable rural livelihoods—agri-tech, livestock, forest-based industries, and cultural tourism. The vision is ambitious, the roadmap is detailed, and the stakes are high. Telangana’s leadership is betting on a future where the state doesn’t just keep pace with India’s growth—it sets the pace.

Key Challenge and Political Context

Inviting PM Modi to the December summit isn’t just a formality—it’s a bold political move. The state government is tying its $3 trillion economy goal directly to the national “Viksit Bharat by 2047” vision. It’s a clear bid for central support and a way to put Telangana on the international map. But the real challenge? The state needs to keep up breakneck growth for twenty years straight. That’s a tall order. The plan leans heavily on Good Governance and Efficient Financing, making it clear: policy stability and fiscal discipline aren’t optional—they’re the magnets for the huge investments, both local and global, that this kind of ambition demands. This vision isn’t just about numbers. It puts Youth, Women, and Farmers at the center, setting ambitious goals like creating one crore women millionaire. The message: this economic surge must lift everyone, not just a few.

The Telangana Rising Global Summit lands on December 8 and 9, right inside the sprawling 30,000-acre ‘Bharat Future City.’ The Chief Minister talks about this place as India’s answer to New York or Singapore—a ‘Net Zero’ city-state, home-grown and future-ready.
