Telangana Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju has directed officials to prepare detailed project reports for medical and wellness tourism initiatives ahead of the Telangana Global Summit, as the state moves to position itself as a global healthcare destination.
Jaju reviewed the framework for medical and wellness tourism under the Telangana Tourism Policy 2025–30 at the Secretariat in Hyderabad on Friday, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle. The review focused on preparing the institutional and project groundwork needed to attract investment into the sector.
Officials were asked to prepare detailed project reports, or DPRs, before the global summit. These documents are expected to provide the project-level basis for investment proposals, although the report does not specify the number, location or estimated cost of the projects being considered.
Jaju also directed departments to promote investment opportunities through Invest Telangana, the state’s investment facilitation platform. The move links the medical tourism framework to Telangana’s broader effort to attract private and institutional investment through a formal facilitation mechanism.
A further component of the proposed framework is the establishment of a Single Window Portal. The portal is intended to streamline access to government processes for investors and other stakeholders, although the report does not provide details on the departments to be covered, the proposed launch date or the services that would be available through it.
The Chief Secretary also called for the streamlining of organ transplantation procedures in accordance with applicable regulations. The direction places regulatory compliance alongside investment promotion in the state’s approach to medical tourism. No changes to existing rules or procedures were announced in the report.
The framework is being developed under the Telangana Tourism Policy 2025–30, and the government has described the state as having significant potential to emerge as a global medical tourism hub. The policy’s medical and wellness tourism component could connect healthcare services with tourism infrastructure, patient facilitation and investment systems, but the supplied report does not provide targets, funding commitments or implementation timelines.
For Hyderabad, the proposed framework raises operational questions about how medical tourism projects would be coordinated across tourism, healthcare, investment facilitation and regulatory authorities. The planned Single Window Portal and the focus on DPRs indicate that the government is still building the administrative structure for the initiative rather than announcing a completed project.
The next stated milestone is the preparation of the DPRs ahead of the Telangana Global Summit. Further details on proposed projects, investment opportunities, portal functions and the implementation of the medical and wellness tourism framework are expected to emerge through that process.
