The Telangana government officially presented the “Telangana Rising 2047 – Aims & Objectives” document in the Legislative Assembly on January 6, 2026. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka led the discussion, describing the vision as a directional roadmap rather than just a political plan. The state aims to achieve a massive $3 trillion economy by 2047, ensuring that every citizen benefits from this structural transformation.

Central to this strategy is the “CURE–PURE–RARE” spatial development framework. Under the CURE initiative, a net-zero, services-driven megacity will be developed within the 160-km Outer Ring Road (ORR). This includes the ambitious 30,000-acre “Bharat Future City,” which will house dedicated hubs for Artificial Intelligence (AI City) and advanced healthcare (Health City). The PURE zone, located between the ORR and the Regional Ring Road (RRR), is designated as a manufacturing and logistics corridor to drive industrial growth.

For rural areas, the RARE strategy focuses on transforming agriculture into a high-value bio-economy. Beyond the RRR, the government plans to emphasize food processing and eco-tourism. A key highlight of the vision is ensuring regional accessibility, with a goal that every resident in the state will be within 180 minutes of a global economic center. The Deputy CM emphasized a shift from degree-based education to competency-based human capital development to meet future job market demands.

The political atmosphere remained charged during the session as the government defended its recent legislative moves. The Assembly passed the Telangana GST (Amendment) Bill 2026 despite protests from AIMIM and BJP members. Additionally, the Legislative Council granted statutory status to the Dr. Manmohan Singh Earth Sciences University in Kothagudem. Meanwhile, Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy announced that the “Bhu Bharathi” land portal would be fully operational by March 2026.

Beyond the Assembly walls, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy met with TPCC President Mahesh Kumar Goud to finalize strategies for upcoming municipal elections. The Congress party plans to use a survey-based approach to select candidates, focusing on grassroots strength. Concurrently, the state continues its legal battle in the Supreme Court over river water sharing, with Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy reiterating the state’s firm stance against unauthorized water diversions by neighboring regions.
