The Foxconn delegation, led by Chairman Young Liu, was briefed by Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Hyderabad's rich historical legacy, industrial potential, and favourable climatic conditions.

He also elaborated on the phased development of three cities in Hyderabad, which began 430 years ago and presented the Fourth City project, designed for multifaceted expansion in fields such as education, healthcare, sports, electronics, electrical industries, and skill development.
One of the key aspects of this initiative is the establishment of the Young India Skill Development University on the city's outskirts.
According to Revanth Reddy, leading industrialists are actively contributing to the university's curriculum design to provide the youth with the skills required by modern industries.
He said, "Eminent industrialists are involved in the design of the syllabus to provide the necessary skills and human resources that equip the youth with modern industry skills."
Anand Mahindra, appointed as chairman of the university, and Srinivasa Raju, serving as vice-chairman, are involved in this effort.
The CM also emphasized Hyderabad's strategic advantages, including the International Airport, Outer Ring Road (ORR), and Regional Ring Road (RRR), assuring Foxconn of full support, including permits and incentives, for establishing their factories in the Fourth City. He extended a formal invitation for Foxconn to invest in the ambitious project.
State IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu also briefed Liu on the state's pro-industrial policies, financial incentives, and international collaborations aimed at accelerating industrial growth. He recounted the steps taken by the government under Revanth Reddy's leadership and the agreements secured during recent visits to the USA and South Korea.
Liu, impressed by the CM's visionary approach, expressed Foxconn's strong interest in exploring investment opportunities in Hyderabad. He revealed plans for an initial visit by a team, led by Chief Campus Operations Officer Kathy Yang and India representative V Lee, followed by his own visit shortly after.
Liu praised the vision behind the Fourth City and the pro-industrial policies, stating he looks forward to personally visiting Hyderabad soon.
The meeting was attended by high-ranking officials from both the Telangana government and Foxconn, marking the start of what could be a major partnership for Hyderabad's industrial future. Among the attendees were Jayesh Ranjan, Special Secretary Dr Vishnu Vardhan Reddy, Ajith Reddy, Dr SK Sharma, Bob Chen, JH Wu, Hsu Shou-kuo, Simon Song, and V Lee.
