CM Revanth Reddy invites Defence Minister to Telangana summit

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy met Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi on Wednesday and extended an invitation for him to attend the Invest Telangana Global Summit-2026 and inaugurate Raksha Expo-2026, a defence exhibition to be held as part of the summit.

According to the Telangana Chief Minister's Office (CMO), the summit will take place from December 7 to 9 at Bharat Future City. The defence expo is planned to feature a dedicated conference on the aerospace, defence and space sectors, along with an air show, industrial exhibition and live demonstrations of land-based defence systems, as reported by ANI, Deccan Chronicle and Lokmat Times.

Key requests and cooperation sought

During the meeting, Reddy sought the Defence Ministry's full cooperation in organising the defence expo to international standards, as reported by ANI and Deccan Chronicle. He requested necessary airspace clearances for the air show and support for Indian Air Force aircraft and the Suryakiran and Sarang aerobatic teams, as well as a static aircraft display.

The Chief Minister also asked that the latest defence systems of the Army, Navy and Air Force be showcased at the expo, with senior officers and representatives of all three services participating, according to ANI and Deccan Chronicle. He urged the Defence Minister to ensure extensive participation of defence public-sector undertakings such as HAL, BEL, BDL and MDL, along with DRDO laboratories, so they could showcase indigenous defence technologies, as reported by ANI and Lokmat Times.

Reddy also sought the Defence Ministry's assistance in facilitating meetings with representatives of foreign defence ministries, bilateral defence delegations and leaders of international defence organisations, according to Lokmat Times.

Adilabad airport land acquisition

Regarding the proposed Adilabad airport, the Chief Minister informed Rajnath Singh that the state government had already acquired 750 acres of land and agreed to acquire another 750 acres, after the Defence Ministry had sought a total of 1,500 acres, as reported by ANI and Deccan Chronicle. The land would be allotted for 33 years at a nominal annual lease of Rs 1 for the entire parcel, according to the same sources.

Attendance and officials present

State Energy Minister G. Vivek Venkataswamy, MPs M. Anil Kumar Yadav, Mallu Ravi, Suresh Shetkar and Porika Balram Naik, and State Government Advisor (Protocol) Harkara Venugopal were present at the meeting, as confirmed by ANI, Deccan Chronicle and Lokmat Times.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the mastheads we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
