Telangana has attracted a whopping Rs 3.30 lakh crore (USD 40 billion) worth of investment through the path-breaking TSiPASS and in IT and ITeS sectors since 2014, said IT and Industries Minister K.T. Rama Rao on Monday.

The Telangana State Industrial Project Approval and Self-Certification System (TS-iPASS) is a single-window clearance for setting up industries in the State.
Rama Rao said the State has consequently created over 22.5 lakh jobs and the overall investment amount and employment figures would be much higher if real estate, hospitality, mining, logistics and other sectors are taken into account.
