The Story in Brief
Telangana will host the second Telangana Rising Global Summit from December 7 to 9, 2026, the State Cabinet decided, The Hindu BusinessLine reports. The event will use the theme ‘Invest in Telangana’ and unveil plans for Bharat Future City, the proposed net-zero smart city. At an Independence Day address, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said Telangana’s per capita income reached Rs 4,18,931 in 2025-26, around 91% above the national average, citing Reserve Bank of India data. He set targets of a $1 trillion State economy by 2034 and $3 trillion by 2047, and said investments worth Rs 1.29 lakh crore had been secured through TG-iPASS.
The Indian Opinion
The grand targets invite two lazy narratives: that summit announcements alone equal investment, or that every promise is empty. Neither follows from the figures available. Secured investment, potential jobs and actual jobs are different measures, while per capita income does not show how gains are distributed. The useful test is whether the December summit produces signed projects that receive approvals, begin construction and create the promised employment. How many of the 78,000 potential jobs become filled positions?
