Telangana government is in the process of incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools into its famed TG-iPASS, the industrial approval system that in the 10 years since introduction has been instrumental in helping attract multi-million dollar investments to the State, while serving as a model for others.
Industries and IT Minister D. Sridhar Babu announced the decision to integrate AI into the Telangana Industrial Project Approval and Self-Certification System (TG-iPASS) during an interaction with a delegation of French business representatives that met him at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat in Hyderabad on Tuesday (June 24, 2025). The AI integration is to enhance transparency and speed in clearances, he said, without elaborating further, as per a press release on the meeting from the Minister’s office.
The State government statistics show that as many as 27,592 projects involving an investment of ₹3,02,330.96 crore were approved under TG-iPASS (TS-iPASS initially before the Telangana abbreviation changed to TG) from the time of launch in 2014-15. Of them, 24,920 are in the manufacturing sector and the remaining 2,667 in the Services sector. More than 1.89 lakh jobs are to be generated by the approved projects.
