Telangana attracted Rs 3.28L crore investments in 18 months: CM Revanth Reddy
He said: 'We want to create a 'China Plus One' destination. After the Covid pandemic, the entire world is searching for 'China Plus One' countries. They want to shift their investments and manufacture their products at other places. Now Taiwan is the place, but it will be only after us. Everyone is focusing on China Plus One. Most of the investors are looking towards India, but my point is to create an alternative China Plus One in Hyderabad and Telangana.'
Addressing the gathering after laying the foundation stone for a new facility of ICHOR Biologics in Genome Valley in Hyderabad, the chief minister said that the government aimed to reach a $1 trillion economy by 2035 and a $3 trillion economy by 2047.
'Telangana Rising - 2047 will be unveiled on December 9, 2025. Our target is to reach a $3 trillion economy by 2047. The Centre targeted a $30 trillion economy by 2047. We want to contribute 10 per cent to the Indian economy,' he said.
Stating that 33 per cent of the vaccines and 40 per cent of bulk drugs in India are being produced in Genome Valley here, Revanth said that during the Covid-19 pandemic, Hyderabad had provided vaccines to about 100 countries.
He said that though the parties and governments have changed, the policies have been continuing since 1994. After the Congress came to power, we did not change the policies, incentives and permissions for the industries in the state. He said that the government has attracted `3.28 lakh crore investments in the last 18 months.
'Hyderabad is a place for data centres and tops in GCCs. Telangana is far better in attracting biopharma and other industries in the country compared to any other state. We want to compete with
the world, not with states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and others,' the chief minister said. IT & Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu, Labour Minister G Vivek Venkatswamy, ICHOR Biologics Managing Director Sudini Anand Reddy and others were present at the ceremony.

46th Ganesh Utsav to champion indigenous products, unity
Hyderabad: The 46th grand Shri Ganesh Utsav in Hyderabad will be organised from 27 August to 6 September under the aegis of the Bhagyanagar Ganesh Utsav Samithi. This year, the Samithi announced the festival would focus on spreading awareness about the use of indigenous products, fostering social harmony, and promoting cultural nationalism. Samithi president G Raghav Reddy formally launched the event by performing a Ganesh worship at the Samithi's office in Baheti Bhavan, near Siddiamber Bazar. Ravinutla Shashidhar, official spokesperson for the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), highlighted that the Ganesh festival typically generates a turnover of approximately Rs 5,000 crore. He stated that efforts would be made to ensure Indian professionals benefit from this economic activity. Furthermore, under the umbrella of this festival, the Swadeshi Jagran Manch will distribute a list of indigenous and foreign products, inspiring the public to prioritise Indian-made goods. Shashidhar noted that this year's celebrations will coincide with significant anniversaries: the 150th Birth Anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the 125th Birth Anniversary of Jan Sangh founder Shyamaprasad Mukherjee, and the centenary celebration of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Accordingly, awareness campaigns promoting unity, social harmony, and nationalism will be conducted at every Ganesh Pandal. He affirmed that despite numerous obstacles over the past 46 years, Shri Ganesh Utsav has been celebrated with grandeur and without hindrance, a tradition that will continue this year. Committee Advisor M Ramaraju expressed concern that the original purpose behind conceiving the collective celebration of Shri Ganesh Utsav four decades ago was being overlooked. He stressed the importance of educating society about Dharma Raksha (protection of righteousness), Kirtan (devotional singing), and organisational power at Shri Ganesh pandals for the entire 11-day duration. Ramaraju emphasised the necessity of ensuring that non-believers and 'traitors' do not receive any financial support from the festival, asserting that such funds could be used to attack Sanatanis.

Indian stock market opens flat, IT stocks under pressure
Mumbai: The Indian stock market opened flat on Thursday as IT companies experienced selling pressure amid mixed global cues. At 9.28 am, Sensex slipped 110 points or 0.13 per cent to 82,615 and Nifty slipped 13 points or 0.05 per cent to 25,206. Sectorally, Nifty IT underperformed with a loss of 1.17 per cent. All other sectors show marginal dips to moderate gains. Bank stocks showed moderate losses up to 0.20 per cent. Midcap and smallcap stocks saw selling pressure.

In the Nifty pack, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories led the gainers (3.07 per cent), followed by Tata Motors (1.51 per cent). Tata Consumer Products, Eicher Motors, JSW Steel and Tata Steel were other major gainers. Trent, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and Bajaj Finance were among losers in early trade. "Market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic amid heightened volatility and mixed global cues. Nifty 50's rebound highlights buyer strength at lower levels. A sustained move above 25,250 could potentially open the path toward the 25,330 mark. On the downside, immediate support is placed at 25,125, followed by 25,000," said Hardik Matalia from Choice Equity Broking Private Limited. The Bank Nifty outperformed the broader index, rising 454 points and forming a bullish candlestick, indicating renewed buying interest, he added.

Nasdaq rose 0.61 per cent, and the S&P 500 added 0.78 per cent. According to analysts, the US striking trade deals with many countries is slowly removing concerns surrounding tariff wars. Good corporate earnings in the US are providing the fundamental support to the market. In Asian markets, the Nikkei 225 continued a huge upswing for the second consecutive day (1.97 percent), and Indonesia's Jakarta Composite climbed 1.70 per cent. Hong Kong, Shanghai and Seoul were in the green zone. On July 23, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net sellers for the fifth consecutive session, offloading stocks worth Rs 4,209 crore.
