Telangana has launched one of the most ambitious state-level economic visions ever attempted in India. Under the Telangana Rising 2047 roadmap, the government aims to transform the state from its current $200 billion economy into a $1 trillion economy by 2034 and further accelerate to $3 trillion by 2047, aligning with India’s centennial year of independence.


With only 2.5% of India’s population, Telangana already contributes nearly 5% of national GDP. The vision is to double that share to 10% by 2047, positioning Telangana as one of the country’s most powerful economic engines.


Growth Acceleration – Fast-Tracking Economic Scale

Historically, Telangana’s economy has doubled roughly every decade since liberalisation. However, the current vision compresses what would have taken 25 years into just 10 years, powered by:

  • Capital inflows (domestic and global)

  • Clear long-term sector policies

  • Infrastructure at unprecedented scale

  • Manufacturing expansion alongside advanced services and technology


The government expects to reach:

  • $1 trillion state GDP by 2034

  • $3 trillion GDP by 2047

  • 10% contribution to India's total GDP

This aggressive growth is backed by coordinated investment in:

  • IT & GCC (Global Capability Centres)

  • Life sciences & pharma

  • Aerospace & defence manufacturing

  • Data centres

  • Clean energy production

  • Tourism & urban development

Hyderabad is already emerging as a global hub for GCCs, pharmaceutical R&D, and deep-tech research, supporting this economic blueprint.


The Game-Changing CURE–PURE–RARE Model

Telangana is the first Indian state to restructure its entire geography into three specialised economic zones, each playing a focused role in the trillion-dollar roadmap:

  1. CURE – Core Urban Region Economy

Services-only, Net-Zero urban economy within Hyderabad ORR (160 km ring).

Key focus:

  • IT, software, AI, DeepTech

  • Global Capability Centres

  • Finance and advanced services

  • Research and innovation

  • Net-zero metropolitan transformation

Goal:
Create one of the world’s most efficient, clean, service-centric megacities.


  1. PURE – Peri-Urban Region Economy

Manufacturing and logistics engine between the ORR and upcoming 360-km RRR.

Focus sectors:

  • Aerospace and defence manufacturing clusters

  • Electric vehicle (EV) ecosystems

  • Electronics and semiconductors

  • MSME industrial parks

  • Logistics hubs

Initiatives:

  • Development of 13 Bharat Industrial Parks

  • 10 Net-Zero Greenfield Townships

  • Plug-and-play manufacturing zones

  • Circular economy factories


  1. RARE – Rural Agri Region Economy

Beyond the RRR — agriculture-led economic modernisation.

Growth drivers:

  • AgriTech and climate-smart farming

  • Livestock and fisheries

  • Forest-based livelihoods

  • Handlooms, handicrafts and eco-tourism

Objective:
Create agriculture-driven exports, value-added processing hubs, and rural entrepreneurship zones, ensuring that prosperity flows into villages.


Bharat Future City: India’s First Net-Zero Greenfield Smart City

One of the most transformative initiatives under PURE is Bharat Future City, developed by the Future City Development Authority (FCDA).

  1. Project Scale:

  • 765 sq km development zone

  • Population capacity: 25–30 lakh residents

  • Bharat Future City area: 30,000 acres

  1. Flagship Features:

Central Business District:

  • AI City – 300 acres

  • Health City – 200 acres

  • Education Hub – 500 acres

  • Life Sciences Hub – 3,000 acres

  • District cooling systems

Entertainment & Leisure District:

  • 100-acre international cricket stadium

  • 18-hole golf course

  • Eco trails and resorts

  • Adjoining zoological forest reserve (15,000 acres)

Urban Design:

  • Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)

  • 15-Minute City Concept

  • Walk-to-work neighbourhoods

  • Integrated metro rail network

This single project is aimed to become a global investment magnet in technology, research, education, healthcare, tourism, and manufacturing.
