Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Telangana Renewable Energy Development Corporation Limited (TGREDCO)
Few places illustrate the scale of India’s energy transformation as vividly as Hyderabad.
At the Hyderabad Roadshow for Bharat Renewable Energy Summit & Expo 2026, Shri Md. Musharraf Ali Faruqui, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Telangana Renewable Energy Development Corporation Limited, began his address not with a future target but with a piece of history.
Barely two to two-and-a-half kilometres from the roadshow venue, on the banks of Hussain Sagar, one of India’s earliest megawatt-scale coal-fired thermal power plants was established around 1920.
More than a century later, the same city finds itself at the centre of an entirely different energy transition.
For Faruqui, the contrast is significant.
India is now witnessing a series of new “firsts” in renewable energy, and Telangana intends to participate actively in that transformation. Hyderabad, with its concentration of technology, industry and innovation, gives the state an important platform from which to build its clean-energy future.
Telangana has already formalised that ambition through the Clean and Green Energy Policy 2025, which supports both renewable-energy generation and clean-energy manufacturing.
Faruqui linked that policy urgency to rapidly rising demand: Telangana's peak requirement is already around 19,000 MW and, on the trajectory he outlined, could approach 35,000 MW by 2035. The state intends to meet a large share of that growth through renewable energy.
The longer-term direction is connected to Telangana Rising Vision 2047.
Just as India has articulated the broader Viksit Bharat 2047 ambition, Faruqui said Telangana has framed its own 2047 vision, launched in November 2025, with the objective of moving the state towards net zero in alignment with national goals.
Investment has already begun following that direction.
Faruqui cited approximately ₹30,000 crore of investment commitments in Telangana’s renewable-energy domain and emphasised that the state wants to scale this significantly further.
His invitation to industry was direct.
Existing Telangana manufacturers and companies should expand both within the state and into international markets. At the same time, new investors are being encouraged to establish renewable-energy projects and manufacturing facilities in Telangana.
The state, he said, intends to provide a conducive environment for investment and growth. He also noted that Telangana is enabling open access and expects private industry, not only government and DISCOMs, to play a major role in the state's renewable-energy expansion.
Faruqui also committed Telangana to active participation in BRE Summit 2026, including participation from companies based in the state.
The historical arc gives that commitment particular resonance.
A city located beside one of India’s earliest megawatt-scale coal plants is now positioning itself around renewable power, manufacturing and net zero.
Hyderabad once helped power India’s industrial past.
Telangana now wants it to help build India’s clean-energy future.
