KTR Makes Strong Pitch For Southern Industrial Corridor

Telangana government has urged the government at the center to set up a Southern Industrial Corridor that will connect the four states of Telangana, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao has talked to Union industries and commerce minister Piyush Goyal to sanction two new industrial corridors — one between Hyderabad and Nagpur and another between Hyderabad and Warangal.

KTR said the corridor would also help to develop the backward areas in the four southern states at a fast pace and informed the Union Minister about the availability of required land to set up the industrial corridor in Telangana.

Goyal responded positively and directed officials concerned to prepare a detailed report for consideration based on proposals submitted by the Telangana government.

Telangana government is planning to develop five heliports at various places for better air connectivity. He further explained the TS government’s initiatives to make the state an industrially developed state, mainly in the construction of the world’s largest Integrated Pharma Cluster, National Investment Manufacturing Zone at Zaheerabad.
