Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated and laid the foundation for development projects worth more than Rs 7,200 crore at Sangareddy, about 60 km from Hyderabad.
Reiterating his commitment for Telangana's progress, the PM said he works with the spirit that states' development is the country's growth.
"Today 140 crore Indians are determined for Viksit Bharat (developed India)," he said at an official event here.
It was essential to have modern infrastructure for a developed India. Therefore, the Centre had allocated Rs 11 lakh crore towards infrastructure in this year's budget and the Centre wanted Telangana to get the maximum benefit from it, he said.
Since the last 10 years, Centre was continuously working to take Telangana to new heights of development, he said.
Recalling that he had launched development projects worth Rs 56,000 crore from Adilabad in the state on Monday, he said development initiatives worth about Rs 7,000 crore were started at Sangareddy town today.
The projects are related to multiple key sectors such as road, rail, petroleum and natural gas.
The Prime Minister inaugurated the Civil Aviation Research Organisation (CARO) centre which was set up at Begumpet Airport, Hyderabad by the Airports Authority of India to upgrade and enhance research and development (R&D) activities in the civil aviation sector.
Built at a cost of more than Rs 350 crore, the state-of-art facility is compliant with 5-STAR-GRIHA Rating and Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) norms.
PM Modi also inaugurated and laid the foundation for three National Highway projects.
He also laid the foundation stone for the six-laning of the 29 km long Pune-Hyderabad Section of NH-65. The project will provide improved connectivity to major industrial centres in Telangana like Pashamylaram industrial area near Patancheru.
