The meeting marks a major step forward in deepening the Telangana-Japan economic partnership, with Marubeni conveying its formal interest by signing a Letter of Intent (LoI) with the Government of Telangana. The initial investment proposed stands at ₹1,000 crore, with the potential to attract over ₹5,000 crore in subsequent phases.
