Expressing happiness over the confidence of Welspun in the Telangana Government, KT Rama Rao said that more than 26 percent of investments in Telangana came from repeat investors like Welspun. “We Keep the investors happy and they in turn will spread the word.

He assured Welspun that the State Government would establish a massive wastewater treatment plant adjacent to the 450-acre Welspun facility as desired by BK Goenka so that the treated water could be put to use in the production facility. KTR said that in Telangana the 'single window' approval system doesn’t have grills.

“Unlike other States where multiple windows open up in the name of faster file clearance, Telangana delivers what it promises,” KTR said. He urged the district administration to cooperate with the Welspun group in the faster implementation of CSR activities in the vicinity of Chandanvelli and Chevella.

“We value our partnership with the Government of Telangana and as a group, we have been running our operations in the state successfully over the years. This project will create further employment in the state. Sintex is an iconic brand for its water tanks and forayinto the PVC pipes segment will strengthen our presence into the building material verticals further,” Goenka pointed out.
