He shared that discussions on this matter have already taken place with Chief Minister Reddy and Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka, hinting at its potential development in the future.
Highlighting the state's priority, Minister Sridhar Babu emphasized attracting substantial investments to Telangana while safeguarding the state's interests.
