Consider Hyderabad For Setting Up A Consulate General Office: KTR To Australian Govt

KT Rama Rao, IT and Industries Minister, urged the Australian Govt to consider Hyderabad for opening a Consulate General office. He said this would further strengthen the trade, educational, and travel relationships between Hyderabad and Australia.

Speaking at an event to launch ‘An update to an India Economic Strategy to 2035: Navigating from Potential to Delivery,’ organised by the Australian Consulate-General in Chennai on Monday in Hyderabad, IT Minister said, “When it comes to doing business in India, the experience changes depending on the gateway an Australian company chooses to enter India. For instance, if they chose Hyderabad, their experience would be different compared to entering another State. India is a union of States and each State has its own strengths. The respective States handles land, water, power, and other infra as well daily affairs. For instance, our sister-state AP has a huge coastline, which Telangana does not. So, each State will pitch to its strengths. When we launched our industrial policy, we have kept in mind the apprehensions of the international investor community,”

He further added that life sciences are the focus area for Telangana as Hyderabad makes a third of human vaccines made in the world.

Hyderabad can be an ideal hub for Australian companies.

Telangana would explore 2-way interactions in startups, academia, education, and other fields.
