Chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday assured potential investors in Singapore that his goal was to create a 'plug-and-play' environment in Telangana where investment proposals would be fast-tracked through an automatic approval system.
Addressing the IIMPACT 2014 global meet in Singapore, Chandrasekhar Rao said that his government would enact laws to ease issues related to industrial land zoning policy and automatic approval system. "Most of the industrial parks will be located within a 100 km radius of Hyderabad," he said and added that his government recently decided that all existing and future irrigation projects would set aside 10 per cent of available water for industries.
The chief minister said that his government's goal was to make Hyderabad the most liveable city in India by offering better incentives to investors than those offered by other states.

Referring to the burgeoning population of Hyderabad which he said was expected to grow from the present 1.2 crore to 20 crore in the next five years, Chandrasekhar Rao said a master plan was being developed to meet the challenges posed by such growth. He pitched this potential growth to investors as opportunities to invest in projects dealing with smart city concepts.
