Singapore: Telangana State Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Thursday assured investors in Singapore of his government’s major plan to develop the newly-created State by accelerating project approvals in a graft-free environment.
Addressing a business meeting with Singaporean investors, KCR assured that Telangana would be “a zero graft State” with improving “safety and security”.
He listed out a wide range of investment opportunities for the development of industries especially given the advance stage of Telangana’s IT sector. He also listed out priority development of pharmaceutical, food processing and automobile among other industries. The meet also assured of providing sufficient power supply in the State with 8,000 MW to be added in the coming five to six years.
“The State is currently facing 4,000 MW shortage in the power sector but plans are already in place to improve supply by setting up additional plants under Telangana Genco and the NTPC,” elaborated S Narsing Rao, Principal Secretary of the Chief Minister.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister is scheduled to meet Singapore’s Foreign and Law Minister K Shanmugam and the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office as well as the second Minister of Trade and Industry S Iswaran.
KCR would also meet Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the opening of the IIMPACT-2015 conference to be attended by some 1,000 delegates and alumni of Indian Institute of Management (IIM) on Friday.

KCR and his delegates would leave for Kuala Lumpur on August 23 for another day-long study tour of Malaysian infrastructure and the capital city of Putra Jaya.
