# Eco Sustain and IPEC expos open in Hyderabad with 140 exhibitors 2026-08-19T19:03:20+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The 3rd Eco Sustain Expo & Conference and the 5th IPEC Expo & Conference opened Thursday at HITEX, Hyderabad, and will run until August 1. Over 140 exhibitors are demonstrating solutions in waste management, recycling, bio-energy and circular economy, with more than 12,000 visitors expected from 30 cities. The inauguration was attended by officials including K. Madhukar Babu Garu from the Telangana MSME department and Swathi Chalamalasetty of Ace Urban Group and AM Green. Sessions at the twin expos are covering Green Manufacturing, Industry 5.0, ESG norms and Climate Resilience. The organisers described the event as part of a push to accelerate India's sustainable industrial growth agenda. No investment figures or policy announcements were made during the opening ceremony. ## Indian Opinion Analysis These twin expos sit within a wider push by Telangana to position Hyderabad as a green industrial hub. The state's Industrial Policy 2025-30 offers capital subsidies and power tariff concessions specifically for waste-to-energy and recycling units. With the Central government targeting 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, Hyderabad's MSME cluster, home to over 2,000 recycling units, becomes a testbed for scaling circular-economy models. The key outcome to watch is whether any of the 140 exhibitors announce investment commitments or pilot projects before the expos close on August 1, as that would signal commercial traction beyond the conference hall. ## Coverage - thehansindia.com Promotional framing, leading with government dignitaries and attendance numbers, no critical or balanced perspective This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
