PM Modi Launches Major Development Projects in Hyderabad, Calls Cyberabad India’s Growth Engine

Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for several major development projects in Hyderabad, highlighting Cyberabad’s growing role as a key driver of economic and technological growth in India.

The Prime Minister was joined by Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy during the event.

Addressing the gathering, PM Modi said Cyberabad has emerged as a critical hub for Telangana’s progress and holds importance not only nationally but globally.

“The strength of Cyberabad is both national and global. It is a major centre for the rapid development of Telangana and the country. Therefore, today from Cyberabad, numerous major projects are being launched to make Telangana a major manufacturing powerhouse of the country,” he said.

He stated that the newly launched and proposed projects would create thousands of employment opportunities and significantly improve infrastructure connectivity in the state.

“The projects whose foundation stone was laid or inaugurated today will provide thousands of new jobs here. Telangana’s connectivity has also been strengthened. I congratulate the people of Telangana for these projects,” PM Modi added.

Highlighting the Centre’s investment in Telangana’s railway sector, the Prime Minister compared current allocations with the pre-2014 period.

“For an undivided Andhra Pradesh before 2014, the railway budget was even less than ₹1,000 crore. Today, the railway budget for Telangana alone is approximately ₹5,500 crore. Currently, work is underway on railway projects worth about ₹50,000 crore,” he said.

PM Modi also reaffirmed the Central government’s commitment to Telangana’s development and welfare.

He said the youth, farmers, industries, MSMEs, and startups in Telangana are playing a crucial role in shaping the state’s future.

“Today, the youth of Telangana are dreaming new dreams. Farmers want to move forward with new hopes. Industries, MSMEs, and startups here all want to contribute to building a developed Telangana because if Telangana develops, India will develop,” he said.

Assuring continued support from the Centre, PM Modi said the government would work at an even faster pace to help fulfil the aspirations of people across Telangana.

The event marked another major push toward infrastructure expansion, industrial growth, and connectivity development in Telangana, reinforcing Hyderabad’s position as a leading economic hub in India.
