nearly Rs. 425 crore in the next 5 years in the Medical Devices Park and generate an employment to nearly 3900 persons in Telangana.
Major
among the investors in the Medical Devices Park includes Cyient Limited
and Sandor Medicaid’s Private Limited companies which are planning to

“The pro-active industrial policy of Telangana state has attracted us to
invest in the state. We are into Medical Technologies and Healthcare
and have invested about Rs. 100 crore in the said area,” informed Balaji Rajagopalan, vice president of Cyient Limited.
