Rs. 623 Cr investment from Schneider Electric is fantastic news for job creation in Gagillapur and Shamshabad. Telangana is truly becoming an electronics manufacturing powerhouse. Hope the skilling centres train our youth for these high-tech jobs.

While the investment is welcome, I hope the government is also focusing on basic infrastructure like roads, water, and electricity in these industrial areas. Sometimes we get so excited about big numbers that we forget the ground reality for workers.

Net-Zero by 2047 is an ambitious target. Collaboration on grid modernisation and energy efficiency is crucial. Smart move to partner with a global leader like Schneider. Hope this brings in more sustainable tech to our cities.

Davos trips are expensive. I hope the investment secured justifies the cost of sending a large delegation. The proof will be in the actual ground-breaking and jobs created, not just press releases. Fingers crossed for Telangana.

EV components manufacturing! This is the future. If Telangana can capture a significant part of this supply chain, it will be a game-changer for the state's economy. More such focused investments are needed. Well done team!
