Bharat Future City Gains Traction in Davos
Hyderabad:Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s dream project, Bharat Future City, gained traction with the Telangana government strongly promoting it during the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos.
Resonant support came from the cash-rich United Arab Emirates, with minister Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri proposing a joint task force comprising officials from both sides to quickly implement the project.
During his meeting with the UAE minister, Revanth Reddy talked about the huge scope of development in the Bharat Future City project, India’s first Net-Zero Greenfield Smart City. The city spreads over an area of 30,000 acres; It was designed as a multi-sector, sustainable urban-industrial center with areas dedicated to artificial intelligence, education, healthcare, industry, housing and entertainment.
The Prime Minister explained to the UAE minister that global companies such as Marubeni and Sembcorp are already involved in the project. “Very recently, we signed an MoU with Reliance Group’s Vantara to set up a new zoo in Future City,” he said.
Netherlands-based UPC Volt has announced plans to set up a 100 MW AI-ready data center in Bharat Future City with an investment of ₹ 5,000 crore. To be developed over a period of five years, the project will be closely integrated with renewable energy sources under Telangana’s Green Open Access framework.
UPC Volt is a joint venture between Netherlands-based UPC Renewable Energy Group and VOLT Data Centers, focused on creating high-performance, energy-efficient data centers specifically designed to meet the growing demands of AI workloads. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed to formalize the investment and project framework.
The project is expected to create significant employment opportunities by creating more than 3,000 direct and indirect jobs during the construction phase and more than 800 direct and indirect jobs after the operation begins.
Telangana is also likely to attract ancillary investments in high-tech components, cooling systems, power management solutions and digital services, further strengthening its technology ecosystem.
