Access to this diverse talent base coupled with a progressive local government and robust infrastructure has made Hyderabad favourable for setting up the first technology centre for ZF in India.”
Welcoming the new investment by ZF in the state of Telangana, Mr K T Rama Rao said: “We look at this investment by ZF as an ecosystem builder for Hyderabad. We have unveiled our IT Policy – 2016 for the State of Telangana along with several sectoral policies earlier this year and our Government will be working with ZF to evolve a comprehensive Engineering Services Policy for aggressively promoting the sector. We look forward to ZF expanding in the city and I assure them all the support.”
