Hyderabad is set to witness a spectacular aerial spectacle as the Telangana government prepares to create history with a massive drone show during the finale of the Telangana Rising Global Summit. The event scheduled for December 9 at Bharat Future City will feature an unprecedented display using 3,000 synchronized drones.
Record-Breaking Ambitions in the Sky
The state government aims to secure the Guinness World Record for the world's longest aerial sentence with this ambitious display. The drones equipped with LED lights will form the message 'Telangana is Rising. Come, Join the Rise' mid-sky, creating a visual marvel for spectators.
This attempt is designed to surpass the existing record of 'Happy New Year 2025' created using 2,131 drones in Abu Dhabi. Officials from the Chief Minister's Office have confirmed that the show serves as a visual tribute to Telangana's transformative blueprint under Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.
Vision for Economic Transformation
The drone spectacle will illustrate Telangana's comprehensive development strategy, including the three-zone economic model that comprises:
- Core Urban Region Economy (CURE)
- Peri-Urban Region Economy (PURE)
- Rural Agricultural Region Economy (RARE)
Additionally, the display will feature the proposed Metro Rail expansion route map and showcase the state government's plans for mobility, urban connectivity, and infrastructure development. Women empowerment initiatives will also form part of the aerial presentation.
