As someone working in the renewable energy sector, I'm particularly excited about the focus on energy transition and grid modernisation. This is exactly the kind of investment India needs to meet its net-zero targets. Smart factories and EV components are the future.

Rs 623 crore is a significant commitment. It shows confidence in Telangana's industrial policy and workforce. The mention of 38 skilling centres is crucial - we need more such initiatives to bridge the skill gap and ensure our youth are ready for these high-tech manufacturing jobs. Bahut accha!

While this is positive, I hope the government ensures that the benefits reach the local communities and not just remain on paper. There should be transparency in how many jobs are created and what kind of environmental safeguards are in place for the expansion. Development must be sustainable in the true sense.

Manufacturing electrical safety products here is a big deal. It reduces our import dependency and strengthens the 'Make in India' initiative. Hope other states learn from Telangana's proactive approach at forums like WEF. More power to our ministers bringing investments home!
