Telangana chief minister invites UK mayors and investors, pledges policy continuity

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy hosted a UK delegation of mayors and investors in Hyderabad and used the meeting to court British industrialists for the state’s upcoming investment summit.

The delegation was led by the mayors of South Yorkshire, York & North Yorkshire, and West Yorkshire — Oliver Coppard, David Skaith and Tracy Brabin — and met the chief minister at the Dr. MCRHRD Institute, according to Hindudayashankar.com.

Reddy told the visiting UK officials that Telangana will offer policy continuity and a ‘conducive business environment,’ and he emphasised the state’s large talent pool as an asset for companies considering expansion. He framed manufacturing as a priority area and said Telangana is well placed for aggressive growth in the coming years, the report states.

The chief minister formally invited UK-based investors and industrialists to participate in Invest Telangana Global Summit 2026, which Hindudayashankar.com says is scheduled for 7-9 December 2026 in Bharat Future City.

The invitation and scheduling were presented as part of the state’s outreach to strengthen industrial ties with British regions represented by the visiting mayors.

Reddy also referenced the state’s long-term development plan, noting that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair acted as a knowledge partner in preparing the roadmap titled 'Telangana Rising 2047,' which the outlet says launched in December 2025. That reference framed the state’s pitch to UK investors as linked to an established strategic plan.

Oliver Coppard was quoted observing that Yorkshire hosts about 150,000 businesses across sectors and that Yorkshire’s interests align with Telangana’s, the article reports. The Hindudayashankar.com account presented the exchange as a business-focused visit oriented toward investment promotion rather than political or security issues.

Local reporting named the venue, the attendees and the summit dates, and highlighted the chief minister’s assurance of policy continuity and emphasis on manufacturing and talent.
