Hyderabad's Industrial Leap Forward

Telangana is poised for significant industrial expansion with the announcement of its second dedicated plastics park near Shamshabad, complementing the existing facility at Mankhal, and the establishment of its first dry port at Manoharabad. Dr E Vishnu Vardhan Reddy, vice chairman & managing director of TGIIC, shared these developments during the 4th edition of the Telangana and Andhra Plastics Manufacturers Association (TAAPMA)'s flagship Polymers Conference 2025 in Hyderabad.

Strategic Industrial Development

Dr Reddy highlighted the government's active consideration of these projects in response to rising demand, with locations currently being finalized. The dry port at Manoharabad is set to be developed as a multi-modal logistics hub under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, marking a pivotal step in enhancing Telangana's logistics and manufacturing capabilities.

Supporting MSMEs and Addressing Industry Concerns

In a move to bolster Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), the government announced the introduction of flatted factory sheds and plug-and-play facilities at subsidized rates. Additionally, Dr Reddy assured that land rates in plastic parks would remain unchanged until 50% occupancy is achieved, addressing concerns over escalating land prices around Hyderabad.

The conference also saw Anil Reddy Vennam, senior vice president of the All India Plastics Manufacturers’ Association (AIPMA), advocate for a dedicated plastics recycling park and the allocation of 500 acres for TAAPMA-led initiatives, underscoring the industry's commitment to sustainable development.
