“Telangana is a very strong player in electronics and IT. Today, 25% of the TV sets produced in India come from Telangana. We have a very strong presence but our ambition is larger. We want to become the Shenzhen of India for electronics,” KTR told envoys of various countries at a diplomatic outreach programme conducted at the newly opened T-Hub phase II.
“Telangana is home to one-third the global vaccine supply with 9 billion doses being produced here per annum. The largest number of USFDA approved manufacturing facilities for any single province at over 250 are located in Telangana, while the second largest number of units are in New Jersey, US. Telangana is India’s life sciences hub and an important node in the sector globally,” he said.
