Underscoring the need for Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) to realise the goal of a USD 3 trillion economy by 2047, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka called on entrepreneurs to make substantial investments in the State .
“We (the State government) treat investors as members of our own family,” he said, making introductory remarks at a panel discussion on “Innovative PPPs: Harnessing Private Capital Towards Public Goods” at the Telangana Rising Global Summit-2025 on Tuesday.
He pointed out that despite Telangana’s USD 200 billion GSDP and 37% investment rate generating USD 70-75 billion annually, the State faces an investment gap of USD 30 billion, which is rapidly widening.
He said that they are seeking private investment in metros, solar parks, and skill hubs while allowing the government to channel public funds toward human development and net-zero goals.
The Deputy Chief Minister highlighted three key economic realities that make PPPs essential: GST limitations hinder a rapid increase in the tax-to-GSDP ratio, FRBM norms cap State borrowing at 3% of GSDP, and declining household savings reduce long-term capital availability.
