"It is our government's endeavour to develop Telangana state into an automotive powerhouse," KD Rama Rao said while praising Hyundai's initiative to join hands. He said the Korean carmaker's presence will help to make the mobility sector in the state stronger. The minister also said that the Mobility Valley in Telangana will be a first at state level.
