    HYDERABAD : IT exports from Telangana has grown by 17.93 per cent in the last financial year at 1.28 lakh crore even as the sector created about 40,000 new jobs. Despite the onset of the COVID-19 during the last quarter of the financial year 2019-2020, the export growth of the state managed to record a phenomenal 17.93 per cent growth for the full financial year.

    This is more than double that of the national growth, an official press release quoted IT Minister KT Rama Rao as saying. The exports stood at 1,28,807 crore in FY '20 against 1,09,219 crore in the FY '19. The sector has 5,82,126 employees as of March 31 against 5,43,033 personnel at the end of 2018-19, the release said.

    Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said he was happy to see the share of Telangana's exports going up from 10.6 per cent to 11.6 per cent. This clearly indicates that Telangana is poised to be the preferred destination for IT investments in the future, he said.

    The Chief Minister directed the IT department to ensure that all measures and precautions be taken to ensure that the IT industry functions smoothly, keeping in view the COVID-19 pandemic, the release said.

    During 2019-20, several marquee investments have taken place in Hyderabad, including the inauguration of Amazons worlds largest facility at three-million sq ft and Microns largest Research and Development centre globally. Tech Mahindra and Cyient have chosen to open their centres in the tier-2 location of Warangal, it added.
