Telangana Invites Japanese Companies To Invest In The State

Telangana Labour Minister Dr G. Vivek Venkataswamy has invited Japanese companies to invest in the state, assuring investors of comprehensive government support to make their projects secure, sustainable and profitable.

Speaking as the chief guest at the India-Japan Workforce Roundtable in Osaka, organised by Career Consultz CEO Rohit Rao, the minister highlighted Telangana’s growing appeal as an investment destination under the leadership of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. He urged Japanese companies to expand their presence in the state and establish new industries and projects.

Vivek said Telangana has a strong pool of skilled professionals in IT, engineering, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, making it well positioned to meet the requirements of Japanese industries. He also pointed to Japanese interest in establishing a new industrial park across around 600 acres, describing it as an indication of the confidence Japanese companies have in Telangana.

The minister said the state’s partnership with Japan would focus not only on attracting investments but also on creating employment opportunities for Telangana’s youth. The government is establishing nearly 120 advanced technology centres across the state to equip young people with modern, industry-relevant skills.

Through the Telangana Overseas Manpower Company ( TOMCOM), the government is also providing training in foreign languages, workplace culture and job-specific skills to prepare candidates for overseas employment. Energy Department Secretary Harichandana said the initiative was aimed at ensuring safe and reliable job opportunities abroad.

She invited Japanese companies and industrialists to participate in the Rising Telangana summit in December 2026, providing an opportunity to explore further investment and workforce partnerships.

Indian Consul General in Osaka-Kobe Chandru Apper said workforce mobility would be an important pillar of stronger India-Japan relations. He said Japan could require around five lakh workers from India over the next five years, including nearly 50,000 skilled and talented professionals.

Career Consultz CEO Rohit Rao said India’s diverse talent pool could help address Japan’s workforce needs. He said efforts were underway under the Specified Skilled Worker programme to facilitate employment opportunities for Indian professionals and skilled youth in Japan.

The roundtable was attended by representatives of Japanese and Indian governments, industries and educational institutions, including Nagoya Deputy Mayor Yasuo Fukiage.
