These agreements encompass a massive pumped storage project, a battery energy storage system (BESS), and a luxury wellness resort, amounting to thousands of crores in investments and creating thousands of jobs.
In the first project, Telangana and MEIL have joined hands to develop a state-of-the-art 2,160 MW Pumped Storage Project. With an investment of Rs 11,000 crore, the project is expected to generate over 1,000 jobs during construction and 250 during operations.

The BESS initiative aims to enhance Telangana’s renewable energy infrastructure, ensuring efficient energy storage, grid stability, and improved peak load management.
The final MoU focuses on boosting Telangana’s tourism sector through the development of a luxury wellness resort at Ananthagiri. MEIL will invest Rs 1,000 crore in the project, which is set to create over 2,000 jobs during its construction and operational phases.
This resort aligns with the state’s vision of promoting sustainable tourism and economic growth, further enhancing Telangana’s reputation as an investment-friendly destination.
