Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Unveils Vision for ‘Net-Zero’ Bharat Future City, Targets Global Investments
Bharat Future City , June 10 (TNT): Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Wednesday said the state government would develop Bharat Future City as a world-class, net-zero and pollution-free urban centre, aimed at positioning Telangana among the leading global investment destinations.
Addressing a public meeting after inaugurating the Future City Development Authority (FCDA) office here, the Chief Minister said the proposed city would play a key role in achieving the state’s goal of becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2034.
Describing the occasion as a “red-letter day”, Revanth Reddy said the FCDA office had been established within 150 days and would serve as the nucleus for the development of the ambitious urban project.
He said the government was actively pursuing investments from Fortune 500 companies and global firms in sectors such as green pharmaceuticals, Global Capability Centres (GCCs), information technology and advanced industries.
“The government is determined to build Bharat Future City as a magnificent, net-zero and pollution-free city that will serve as a model for the world,” he said.
The Chief Minister said several villages had been integrated into the project area as part of the development plan and expressed confidence that local communities would play a key role in safeguarding and supporting the city’s growth.
He also announced that he would personally review the project’s progress on a regular basis, while Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu would visit the FCDA office every week to monitor developments.
Launching a sharp attack on the opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), the Chief Minister accused its leaders of attempting to obstruct the project and warned that threats to scrap the Future City initiative would be rejected by the people.
Revanth Reddy said major infrastructure projects such as HITEC City, the Outer Ring Road, the international airport and Genome Valley had transformed Hyderabad despite opposition during their initial stages.
He argued that similar long-term vision was now required for Bharat Future City and said the project would generate employment and drive economic growth for future generations.
The Chief Minister also criticised the previous BRS government over what he described as inadequate urban infrastructure planning, alleging that encroachments on lakes and water bodies had contributed to recurring flooding and traffic disruptions in Hyderabad during monsoon rains.
Referring to the proposed Musi River rejuvenation project, he accused the opposition of creating obstacles to developmental initiatives despite Hyderabad’s growing urban challenges.
The government, he said, remains committed to building modern infrastructure and sustainable urban ecosystems capable of supporting Telangana’s future economic ambitions.
