Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Saturday, 13 January, met Union Minister for Industries and Commerce, Piyush Goyal seeking approval for a new industrial corridor linking Hyderabad to Vijayawada via Miryalaguda.
He also underscored the importance of obtaining final clearances for the proposed Hyderabad-Nagpur Industrial Corridor, projecting a significant benefit of ₹2,300 crore for Telangana, following the approval of the Union government.
During the meeting in New Delhi, Chief Minister Reddy, joined by Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, urged the Union Minister to reconsider the plan of establishing a Pharma City between Hyderabad and Warangal. A revamped proposal is in the pipeline, slated for submission to the Union government.

Drawing attention to the relocation of the National Design Center (NDC) from Hyderabad to Vijayawada following the Andhra Pradesh bifurcation, Chief Minister Reddy urged the Union Minister to sanction an NDC for Telangana.
He also sought approval for relocating the Mega Leather Park, originally designated for Nellore district in united Andhra Pradesh, to Telangana, where the necessary land in Karimnagar and Jangaon districts has been acquired.
Additionally, the chief minister appealed to Minister Goyal to accord a “greenfield” status to the Mega Textile Park in Warangal under the PM Mitra scheme, emphasising the potential for accelerated industrial development and noting that the transition from “brownfield” to “greenfield” would attract an additional ₹300 crore in funds.
