New Delhi, September 19, 2025 – Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy laid out an ambitious roadmap for the state’s future during his keynote address at the 12th Annual Conference of the Public Affairs Forum of India (PAFI) held in New Delhi.

Hyderabad as a Global Gateway
The Chief Minister reinforced Hyderabad’s role as the state’s economic nerve center and a city poised for global connectivity. Key initiatives such as the Regional Ring Road, airport linkages, and improved port access aim to position Hyderabad as a global logistics and innovation hub.
