HYDERABAD, INDIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 December 2025 – Vingroup announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Telangana at the Telangana Rising Global Summit for a proposed investment of USD 3 billion, to be implemented in a phased manner for developing a multi-sector ecosystem in the state. Under the MoU, both parties will collaborate to explore strategic opportunities across key sectors such as smart urban development, electric mobility solutions, healthcare, education, tourism, renewable energy, charging infrastructure across approximately 2,500 hectares in Telangana, as well as electric taxi services, with the overall objective of advancing the state’s socio-economic development and long-term growth vision. This MoU marks a significant milestone in Vingroup’s global expansion and reinforces the stature and capability of one of Vietnam’s leading multi-sector corporations on the international economic stage.

In electric mobility, Vingroup proposes to introduce India’s first large-scale electric taxi fleet and mobility-as-a-service platform using VinFast vehicles through GSM in the State of Telangana, and may explore potential opportunities associated with EV manufacturing initiatives in the future.

In urban development, Vingroup plans to develop the Vinhomes Smart City mega urban area designed for approximately 200,000 residents on a 1,080-hectare site. The project is expected to generate around 10,000 jobs and will feature a balanced mix of low-rise and high-rise developments, international-standard amenities, a limited built-up footprint, and sustainable urban planning principles.

In social infrastructure, the Group proposes to develop essential facilities on a planned land area of approximately 70 hectares, including Vinschool’s integrated K-12 education system, Vinmec international-standard multi-specialty hospitals and the V-Green electric vehicle charging network.

In tourism and entertainment, Vingroup through VinWonders aims to develop an integrated complex that includes a theme park, zoo, and safari across approximately 350 hectares, enhancing Telangana’s tourism infrastructure and creating large-scale employment.

In renewable energy, Vingroup through VinEnergo proposes to invest in a 500 MW solar farm over an area of approximately 500 hectares to provide a stable source of green electricity for urban areas, industrial zones and the entire electrified mobility ecosystem.

In addition to these initiatives, Vingroup also proposes to participate in the development of strategic connectivity infrastructure to strengthen regional linkages and enhance the capacity for urban spatial development.

On the government side, Telangana commits to supporting the identification and facilitation of land allocation for each project, coordinating in master planning and project structuring, assisting with administrative procedures and mobilizing relevant agencies to prepare the necessary connecting infrastructure. The state government will also consider the application of incentives in line with existing policies and will work closely with Vingroup throughout the research and implementation stages to ensure project progress and effectiveness.

The MoU between Vingroup and Telangana establishes a foundation for realizing large-scale investment projects that will directly contribute to Telangana’s economic growth while strengthening the international presence of Vietnamese enterprises. The partnership also supports the broader economic relationship between Vietnam and India, fostering stronger business community ties and opening opportunities for deeper cooperation in the future.

Sri A. Revanth Reddy, Hon’ble Chief Minister, Government of Telangana, stated: “The USD 3 billion investment by Vingroup is a massive vote of confidence in the ‘Telangana Rising’ vision, particularly our focus on sustainable urban development and green infrastructure. This is more than capital; it’s a partnership to build a futuristic, net-zero city and introduce India’s first large-scale electric taxi fleet, directly improving the quality of life for our citizens. Our government guarantees accelerated execution to ensure this global vision becomes a local reality.”

Sri D. Sridhar Babu, Hon’ble Industries Minister, Government of Telangana, said: Vingroup’s multi-sectoral commitment, spanning smart cities, solar power, and advanced social infrastructure like hospitals and schools, demonstrates the stability and breadth of Telangana’s industrial policy. We are committed to translating this significant capital inflow into local opportunity, positioning Telangana as the gateway for Vietnamese and South-East Asian investment into India’s fastest-growing economy.

Mr. Sanjay Kumar, IAS, Special Chief Secretary to the Government, Government of Telangana said: “We welcome Vingroup’s presence in Telangana and recognize the achievements the Group has made in Vietnam, particularly in urban development, green infrastructure and electrified transportation. With the Group’s extensive expertise and capability to execute large-scale projects, we believe that this cooperation will mark an important step forward in shaping a modern and sustainable urban landscape and improving the quality of life for the people of Telangana.

Mr. Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of Vingroup Asia and VinFast Asia, stated: “Vingroup sees tremendous potential in Telangana and we aspire to build a long-term partnership with the state government. With our proven track record in delivering mega urban developments, large-scale infrastructure and a comprehensive electric mobility ecosystem, we believe that our collaboration with Telangana will generate tangible value, promote sustainable development and enhance the quality of life for local residents.”

Telangana is a key state of India with a population of approximately 38.5 million people. As a major technology and economic center of Southern India, Telangana attracts global investors thanks to its dynamic business environment and strong development potential, especially in the software sector.

Vingroup is Vietnam’s largest private multi-sector corporation, operating across six core pillars: Industrials & Technology, Real Estate & Services, Infrastructure, Green Energy, Culture, and Social Enterprises, with the vision of “To create a better life for people”.

With its proven reputation, scale and capabilities, Vingroup is steadily expanding globally. The Group was named in TIME Magazine’s “TIME World’s Best Companies 2025” list of the world’s 1,000 best companies, recognizing its efforts in sustainability, innovation and global impact.

Previously, Vingroup entered the Indian market through its EV brand VinFast with a premium product portfolio and a plant in Tamil Nadu. VinFast is also building an electric mobility ecosystem in India with a shared vision of bringing the green mobility revolution closer to everyone./.

Hong Kong Disneyland Continues to Enhance Guest Experience Through Flexible Weather Adaptation Measures

Published

on

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 July 2026 – As Hong Kong’s summer weather becomes increasingly unpredictable, with periods of extreme heat, high humidity, and occasional rain showers and thunderstorms, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) continues to enhance its facilities and operations to better support guests and cast members throughout the season.

From cooling facilities and shaded rest areas to flexible operational arrangements, the initiatives are designed to provide more choices and added ease for both guests and cast members during the summer months.

Additionally, HKDL has introduced an exclusive “Summer Chill” 4PM Ticket Offer for Hong Kong residents. Guests can enjoy the park from 4:00pm onwards, helping them avoid the hottest hours or periods of heavy rain, with prices starting at just HK$480.

Guests are also encouraged to stay hydrated and explore the resort’s wide selection of indoor attractions and entertainment offerings during the hottest hours of the day.

Weather-Conscious Design for a Better Guest Experience

The guest experience is supported by the resort’s planning and operations through a combination of environmental design and infrastructure enhancements. Disney Imagineers use detailed studies of sunlight, temperature, humidity and wind, supported by advanced computer simulations, to assess conditions across different areas of the park and guide design decisions.

For instance, Wayfinders’ Table in Adventureland was designed with sun exposure and ventilation needs in mind. Through the use of hard roof materials and thoughtful airflow planning, the design helps reduce heat buildup while providing shelter from rain.

Canopies, trees and fans are also used for the outdoor stage show “Moana: A Homecoming Celebration” to provide shade and added relief. The park also preserves and plants trees more extensively to provide additional natural shade.

Enhancing Infrastructure to Adapt to Changing Weather Conditions

HKDL has strengthened its guest-focused infrastructure to help improve airflow and provide added cooling support in various summer weather conditions. Energy-efficient ceiling fans operate at entrances and ticketing areas, while upgraded axial fans enhance airflow in queuing zones.

The park now features approximately 860 fans, with mobile units deployed flexibly to provide cooling support where they are needed most, particularly in high-traffic areas. Portable air-conditioning units have also been added in select outdoor zones to further support ventilation.

Mist cooling systems are also available at multiple outdoor locations, while additional shade structures have been added to queuing and dining areas.

Over 40 free water dispensers are provided across the resort, with nearly half already upgraded to dispense water 50% faster, helping guests rehydrate more conveniently throughout their visit.

Supporting Cast Members Through Changing Weather Conditions

With cast member safety as a top priority, HKDL continuously reviews operational measures to support frontline teams working outdoors in varying weather conditions. Cast members are dressed in outdoor costumes made with breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics, while additional rest breaks, hydration support and access to cooling facilities are provided during periods of extreme heat and humidity.

The resort closely monitors weather conditions and proactively adjusts outdoor show schedules whenever Heat Stress at Work Warnings are issued.

Disney Ambassadors also distribute electrolyte drink powder and chilled water bottles to frontline cast members working in outdoor areas.

Cooling Fun with Pixar Summer Fest

HKDL integrates cooling moments into storytelling. Guests can conveniently transition between a wide variety of indoor attractions, dining venues and entertainment offerings located throughout the resort, helping the magic continue in changing weather conditions.

The newly launched “Pixar Summer Fest” invites guests to beat the heat with immersive entertainment. The “Pixar Water Play Street Party!” welcomes guests to join beloved Pixar characters in a lively water parade, offering refreshing fun as part of the festive atmosphere.

Guests can also chill out with refreshing Pixar-themed treats, including Lime Dole Whip with Pineapple Slush Float at Jessie’s Snack Roundup, Monsters, Inc.-inspired Mike Wazowski Ice Cream Bar, Toy Story Alien Ice Cream Bar, and Sulley-inspired Mint Chocolate Flavored Soft Serve. These playful creations offer visual delight and refreshing summer treats for guests.

Exclusively for Hong Kong residents, the “Summer Chill” 4PM Ticket offers later entry to the park for just HK$480, allowing guests to enjoy an afternoon-to-evening “Pixar Summer Fest” experience.
