Telangana to Launch Quantum Computing Centre of Excellence in Hyderabad
By Shalini Mondal ·
Telangana is accelerating its push into deep tech with the launch of a quantum computing centre of excellence in Gachibowli, Hyderabad, reinforcing the state’s ambition to emerge as a hub for next-generation computing alongside its leadership in life sciences.
The upcoming centre, located adjacent to the T5 development corridor, will become operational within weeks.
“In a month’s time, we will see it in action,” Sridhar Babu Duddilla, Minister of Information Technology and Electronics, Telangana, told AIM in an exclusive interview on the sidelines of BioAsia 2026.
“It will function like T-Hub—incubating ideas, supporting startups, and helping convert concepts into products,” he added.
Aligned with India’s National Quantum Mission
Telangana’s initiative aligns closely with the National Quantum Mission (NQM), one of nine flagship initiatives under the Prime Minister’s Science, Technology and Innovation Advisory Council.
The mission aims to position India as a global leader in quantum computing, secure quantum communication, and precision sensing, with applications spanning telecommunications, defence, finance, and healthcare.
Backed by significant central funding, the NQM seeks to move India from being a technology consumer to a sovereign power in deep tech, while delivering long-term societal and economic impact.
Telangana’s announcement comes amid growing momentum among Indian states to build quantum ecosystems.
The Karnataka government, led by CM Siddaramaiah, has unveiled the Karnataka Quantum Mission (KQM), supported by a ₹1,000 crore ($114 million) fund. The mission is aligned with the state’s Quantum Vision 2035, which targets a $20 billion quantum economy and the creation of 10,000 high-skilled jobs by 2035. The announcement was made at the Quantum India Bengaluru 2025 summit.
Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh has also entered the quantum race. On February 8, Dr Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State, laid the foundation stone for the Amaravati Quantum Valley, describing it as the bedrock of India’s technological future.
Backed by the ₹6,000-crore NQM, the Amaravati Quantum Valley is envisioned as India’s first integrated quantum ecosystem—a 50-acre high-tech campus combining research, manufacturing, and skill development to build end-to-end quantum capabilities.
Meanwhile, at BioAsia 2026, the Telangana government has secured new investment pledges at BioAsia across life sciences, animal vaccines, AI-led healthcare analytics, and infrastructure.
