Telangana Dy CM Stresses PPPs as Key to Achieving USD 3 Trillion Vision

Hyderabad, Dec 9 (UNI) Telangana Deputy Chief Minisster Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu on Tuesday said that Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) will be central to achieving the state’s long-term development goals, including the vision of becoming a USD 3 trillion economy.
Speaking at the panel discussion titled “ Capital and productivity for a Three-Trillion dollar Economy”, held during the Telangana Rising Global Summit, Mallu said the state faces a widening investment gap despite strong economic performance. He noted that Telangana’s USD 200 billion GSDP and 37 percent investment rate generate USD 70–75 billion annually, yet the state still faces an investment deficit of nearly USD 30 billion.
This gap, he said, is expanding rapidly, making PPPs the most practical route to mobilise the scale of capital required for development.
He said that PPPs would play a key role in driving growth across Telangana’s CURE (Core Urban), PURE (Peri-Urban), and RARE (Rural Agri) zones.
By attracting private investment into metro systems, solar parks, skill hubs, and renewable energy projects, the government can redirect its resources towards human development and net-zero commitments, the Dy CM said.
Calling Hyderabad “a paradise for investors,” he highlighted the state’s conducive business environment, skilled and cost-effective workforce, strong law and order, and investor-friendly governance.
Telangana’s ethos of hospitality, he said, is reflected in how the government treats investors “as members of its own family.”
He invited both domestic and global investors to take part in building the state’s future.
Recalling the Outer Ring Road (ORR) as one of the state’s most successful PPP models, the Deputy Chief Minister said that two decades ago Hyderabad faced crippling traffic and limited connectivity. The ORR, built through an annuity-based PPP model, addressed these challenges and went on to become a catalyst for economic growth.
Today, the corridor hosts technology hubs, pharmaceutical giants, and major logistics centres. The ORR, he said, proved that PPPs can translate ambitious ideas into transformative outcomes.
Mallu explained that three economic realities make PPPs indispensable: GST limitations that restrict rapid growth of the tax-to-GSDP ratio, FRBM constraints that cap state borrowing at 3% of GSDP, and declining household savings that limit long-term capital availability. Given these constraints, PPPs remain the most efficient method for attracting institutional capital into infrastructure, transportation, renewable energy, and digital sectors.
He pointed to Telangana’s past PPP successes, including the Hyderabad International Airport, the Outer Ring Road, and the Hyderabad Metro Rail, each executed through stable governance, fast approvals, and effective dispute-resolution systems. Drawing from global examples, he said countries like Chile, Australia, the UK, and Canada have demonstrated how structured PPP frameworks can mobilise large-scale investment.
Mallu identified several sectors where PPPs can be expanded: transport and urban mobility through metros, BRT systems, and integrated road networks; renewable energy through solar parks, hybrid zones, green hydrogen, and grid-storage systems; logistics through cold chains, warehousing, and multimodal parks; and digital infrastructure through data centres and fibre networks.
He said healthcare infrastructure, digital classrooms, skill centres, and water and sanitation services also present significant opportunities for PPP-driven improvement.
To attract more private capital, he emphasised the need for advanced financing tools such as partial risk guarantees, outcome-based financing, blended capital structures, and revenue-linked payment models that enhance project viability.
Stating that PPPs are expected to contribute 10–15% of all investments under Vision 2047, Mallu said they would ease fiscal pressure on the government and accelerate long-gestation projects in mobility, clean energy, industrial ecosystems, and social infrastructure.
He concluded that by strengthening contract transparency, ensuring realistic risk sharing, and improving project preparation, Telangana can harness PPPs to convert its development goals into tangible economic and social outcomes.
