Telangana’s Agriculture and Creative Economy Drive Economic Growth: Ministerial Insights at Global Summit 10-December- 2025

Hyderabad, December 10, 2025: Telangana is charting a remarkable path of economic growth, with agriculture positioned as the state’s key growth engine. Speaking at the Global Summit 2025 in Hyderabad, Agriculture Minister Tummala Ramachandra Reddy highlighted the government’s proactive initiatives in promoting sustainable farming, palm oil cultivation, and digital agriculture.

Under the leadership of Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao and Minister Tummala, Telangana has invested over ₹10,000 crore in farmer welfare programs over the past two years. Palm oil cultivation has emerged as a strategic sector for economic and environmental impact. Currently covering 3 lakh acres, the government aims to expand palm oil cultivation to 10 lakh acres, enhancing green cover while offering long-term profitability to farmers. Minister Tummala emphasized that sustainable palm oil farming will be a “game-changer” for Telangana’s agricultural landscape.

At the summit, Minister Tummala also reviewed the progress of the Integrated Oil Palm Complex in Khammam’s Gubbagurthi village, spearheaded by M/s Godrej Agrovet Limited. The 116-acre facility includes a palm oil nursery, R&D center, seed processing unit, and a processing facility. The complex is designed to incorporate advanced processing technologies, strengthen research on climate-resilient crops, and improve seed quality through strategic international collaboration with Malaysian and Thai partners.

The initiative underscores Telangana’s vision for eco-friendly, digital, and smart agriculture, aiming to transform the sector with cutting-edge research and high-quality, climate-resilient crop varieties. Minister Tummala stressed that agriculture, along with its allied economic systems valued at $34.6 billion, is expected to reach $400 billion by 2047, fueling Telangana’s economic ambitions.


Hyderabad Emerges as a Global Entertainment Hub

In a parallel session at the Global Summit, Telangana Roads, Buildings, and Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy highlighted Hyderabad’s rise as a major hub for the global creative economy. Addressing delegates under the theme “The Creative Century: India’s Soft Power & The Future of Entertainment”, he noted that Indian cinema, music, gaming, and digital content are increasingly shaping global audiences, with Indian films being viewed in over 170 countries.

Hyderabad boasts world-class infrastructure including Ramoji Film City, advanced VFX and gaming companies, and a diverse creative workforce. The Telangana government is actively supporting the ecosystem through incentive-based policies, international production facilitation, and innovation centers for AVGC-XR (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Extended Reality).

Minister Komatireddy emphasized the government’s commitment to sustainable growth and industry welfare, offering capital subsidies for large-scale investments, production reimbursements for use of local resources, and welfare contributions from increased ticket pricing. He highlighted that while technology will revolutionize content creation, human-centered storytelling will remain the heart of entertainment.

Positioning Hyderabad as India’s gateway to global entertainment, the minister invited international studios, streaming platforms, gaming companies, and investors to participate in shaping the future of the creative economy.
