In Telangana, several trade and industry bodies have expressed concerns over recent policy and regulatory developments and cautioned that abrupt changes could hinder the state’s growth story. They have urged the state government to reconsider these pressing issues, which include power tariff rules, the lack of renewable energy clearances and the sudden implementation of government orders under the Hyderabad Industrial Lands Transformation Policy (HILTP). Among others.

About a dozen industry bodies, including the Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI), Telangana Industrialists Federation (TIF), Telangana Iron and Steel Manufacturers Association (TISMA), Telangana State Tool Manufacturers Association (TSTMA), among others, represent the interests of over 50,000 manufacturing and services units. Discussing HILTP, they raised concerns about the lack of clarity on relocation support and compensation mechanisms, warning that relocation without ready and integrated infrastructure could unleash chaos.

FTCCI President R Ravi Kumar informed the media that the sudden and unilateral policy orders will create serious uncertainty in the industrial ecosystem. He said actions will freeze existing expansion plans, push future investments to other states, and severely damage Telangana’s hard-earned reputation for policy stability and ease of doing business.
