Telangana to be divided into three clusters

Telangana will be divided into three clusters aiming at decentralisation of industrialisation. However, the move is seen as a measure to help real estate companies.

The three clusters include urban cluster within Hyderabad Outer Ring Road (ORR), semi urban cluster between ORR and Regional Ring Road (RRR) and rural cluster beyond RRR. The government will provide incentives for setting up industries in these clusters.

Interacting with the office bearers of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Telangana, Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy said that the government will have an industry friendly policy to ensure rapid development and to attract investments.

The Chief Minister said there are 14 radial roads on ORR and they are connected to 12 national highways. Pharma villlages will be developed in 1,000 to 3,000 acres of land close to these roads. A plan will be developed to ensure that there is no pollution. Along with industries, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure will be provided, he said.

He said that IT, pharma, health, food processing, sports, automobile and organic clusters will be developed. Stating that there are vast opportunities for design and manufacture of defence equipment, he suggested to the industrialists to focus on these opportunities.

A new solar power policy will be drafted and solar energy-based industries will be given incentives, he said. Stating that he is available 24 hours at his office or camp office, Revanth Reddy suggested to industrialists and investors to take decisions after speaking to him. Don’t rush to form an opinion or take a decision without speaking to me or government representatives or officials, he said.
