These investments are set to create 51,000 direct jobs and an estimated 1,50,000 indirect jobs, solidifying Telangana's status as a powerhouse in the global life sciences industry.

Duddilla Sridhar Babu, Minister of Industries and Commerce, Government of Telangana said, “We have witnessed a surge of investments from several international and domestic companies, who have chosen Telangana as their gateway to India's rapidly growing life sciences ecosystem. From pharmaceutical manufacturing and R&D centres to global capability centres (GCC) innovation hubs, these investments across the life sciences value chain make Telangana an undisputed leader in this space globally. This momentum not only includes significant investments from new entrants but also additional investments by companies that have already seen the value in expanding in Telangana. This is a strong indicator of their trust in present Government’s business friendly approach that we have championed over the last one year and the strong ecosystem built over the last 2-3 decades.”
