The automobile of today and tomorrow is a computer on four wheels. What used to be a hub for auto parts like Detroit in the US or Chennai or Pune in India, is not the case anymore. As automobiles evolve, Hyderabad has a huge opportunity to take center stage,” said KTR.
KTR added that Telangana’s “mobility valley” will be a single-stop shop for everything to do with automobiles. He said that Telangana already has ZF, Hyundai, Bosch, Intel and Qualcomm.
