Telangana wants to become the top destination for making electronic goods in India by focusing on new technology, innovation, and strong industrial growth. Industries and IT Minister D. Sridhar Babu shared this goal on Saturday while opening a new factory for the local brand Mivi at E-City in Tukkuguda, close to Hyderabad.
Growth And Plans
The Minister pointed out that the local manufacturing sector expanded by seven point seven percent during the twenty twenty-five to twenty twenty-six period, thanks to special support from the state government. This sector added one point thirty-seven lakh crore rupees to the state economy. As part of a long-term plan called Telangana Rising Twenty Forty-Seven, the administration is upgrading hardware parks and electronics clusters. Officials want the state to play a bigger role in chip design, semiconductor production, and making electronic parts.
New Facility
Avishakaran Industries invested two hundred crore rupees to build this new Mivi plant, which can turn out five lakh pairs of earbuds and seventy-five thousand soundbars every single month. Company officials note that the factory currently provides jobs for about twenty-five hundred workers. The homegrown firm started out making audio equipment but now builds other consumer electronics, such as smartphones, aiming to challenge global brands. Co-founders Midhula Devabhaktuni and Viswanadh Kandula noted that the launch coincides with the brand completing ten years in business.
Context
States across India often compete to attract large technology investments by offering better infrastructure and financial incentives to generate local employment. Consumer electronics plants require a skilled workforce and reliable supply chains to assemble complex parts like audio devices and mobile phones. Bringing these factories closer to major urban centers helps connect regional businesses with wider international markets.
