Hyderabad: Emerging as a Dominant Region for Manufacturing
Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana, is emerging as a dominant force in South India’s industrial landscape, particularly in sectors like automotive, aerospace, electronics, and pharmaceuticals. The region hosts significant automotive and auto component manufacturers such as Bharat Forge, Steelbird, Mahindra, Benelli, Deccan Auto, Isuzu, and Kia Motors, underlining its importance as a manufacturing hub.
In aerospace and defence, Hyderabad is home to major enterprises including DRDO, BDL, HAL, TASL, Adani, Kalyani Rafael, and Pratt & Whitney, showcasing its strategic role in these high-stake industries. The city’s growth trajectory is particularly pronounced in the electronics sector, where it houses over 250 companies and is expanding at a CAGR of 9.3%, positioning itself as a global electronics hub.
Additionally, Hyderabad plays a critical role in India’s railway sector, attracting investments that create substantial opportunities for machine tool supply. The pharmaceutical sector in Hyderabad is notably robust, with the city ranking first in India for bulk drug manufacturing and third in formulations. Accounting for 40% of the country’s total bulk drug production and 50% of its bulk drug exports, Hyderabad is aptly known as the ‘Bulk Drug Capital of India’.
Telangana & Andhra Pradesh: Attracting Substantial Investment
Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have established themselves as significant players in India’s manufacturing landscape, contributing notably to the country’s industrial output. These two regions have leveraged their strategic geographic locations, robust infrastructure, and policy incentives to attract substantial investment in manufacturing.
Telangana, with Hyderabad at its core, has developed into a hub for high-tech and IT-based industries, but also shows significant growth in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and engineering. The state has been proactive in enhancing its manufacturing capabilities through initiatives like the establishment of dedicated industrial parks and zones which are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities.
Similarly, Andhra Pradesh has capitalized on its long coastline and port infrastructure to boost heavy industries including shipbuilding, petrochemicals, and electronics manufacturing. The state has focused on creating a favorable business environment with ease of doing business reforms and sector-specific incentives, which have attracted both domestic and international investors.
Both states have strategic plans to further their industrial sectors, focusing on sustainable and high-growth areas such as renewable energy, electronics, and food processing, aligning with national manufacturing policies and goals. These efforts are supported by government policies aimed at enhancing skills development and providing financial and non-financial incentives to bolster the manufacturing ecosystem.
