Metro India News | Hyderabad 

Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka announced that Telangana is positioning itself to become a major global manufacturing hub for clean energy technologies, moving beyond its role as a power consumer.

Inaugurating the two-day India Energy Summit & Expo 2026 at HITEX and Novotel on Tuesday, Bhatti Vikramarka stated that the ongoing energy transition is a fundamental shift reshaping the entire economic system, rather than a mere change in power generation sources.

He expressed the vision of making Telangana not just a consumer of clean energy, but a major global manufacturing hub for clean energy technologies. The Deputy Chief Minister explained that the state has designed plans to meet rapidly growing power demand while ensuring environmental sustainability.

As part of its endeavour, Telangana aims to expand solar power capacity to 20,000 MW by 2030 and over 26,000 MW by 2035, he said. Bhatti Vikramarka also highlighted the importance of energy storage for renewable energy integration, stating that through battery energy storage and pumped storage projects, the state plans to achieve 3,800 MW storage capacity by 2030 and 8,000 MW by 2035.

"Hyderabad’s strengths in IT and AI are being leveraged to transform the future power grid into a digital network. A dedicated 100 MW renewable energy plant is being planned to support an AI data center in the proposed ‘Bharat Future City," he said.

The Deputy Chief Minister further stated that  the state has set targets of producing 400,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030 and establishing 12,000 EV charging stations by 2035. He stated that this energy transformation is only possible through strong government-private partnerships and invited industrialists to join hands with Telangana in this journey.
