Telangana has announced an ambitious roadmap to become India’s first net-zero state by 2047, unveiling its “Telangana Rising by 2047” Vision Document. The blueprint positions the state as a global leader in sustainable development driven by clean energy, green industries, and climate-smart mobility, aligning environmental stewardship with long-term economic growth.
Inspired by the “California Model,” the state plans to turn climate revenues into engines of green development. A proposed Net Zero State Authority and Green Energy & Carbon Transition Fund will channel resources from carbon credits, green bonds, and transition levies into renewable power, industrial decarbonisation, and citizen-focused green incentives.
Clean Energy Transformation With 65% Renewable Capacity
The first pillar of the vision focuses on rapidly scaling low-carbon power systems. By 2047, renewables will supply 65% of Telangana’s total energy capacity, supported by advanced thermal technologies and massive storage corridors.
Key clean-energy initiatives include:
- Ramagundam and Shankarpally as major energy-storage innovation hubs
- Mahbubnagar and Gadwal hosting large solar parks
- Round-the-clock renewable power supply through hybrid systems and battery storage
100% Clean Mobility by 2047
The state’s Integrated Smart Mobility strategy aims for a 95% reduction in oil demand and a full transition to electric- and hydrogen-powered transport.
Mobility highlights:
- India’s largest e-bus fleet in Hyderabad by 2030
- All public and private transport to run on electric or hydrogen by 2047
- 6,000 public charging stations statewide by 2030
- Hydrogen refuelling corridors linking highways and industrial zones
- AI-driven, multimodal smart traffic systems
Telangana Mobility Valley: A Global EV Innovation Hub
The state will also develop Telangana Mobility Valley, envisioned as a world-class ecosystem for EV manufacturing, battery recycling, hydrogen technologies, and fuel-cell R&D.
By integrating clean energy, next-gen transport, and green investments, Telangana’s Vision 2047 sets a transformative pathway for sustainable urbanisation and inclusive growth.
