Sri City recently hosted Ms. Silai Zaki, Consul-General of Australia. Welcoming the delegation, Mr. R. Shivasankar, Senior Vice President (Marketing), Sri City, gave a comprehensive presentation highlighting Sri City’s unique advantages as a premier industrial hub.

During discussions with the Consul-General, Dr. Ravindra Sannareddy, Founder Managing Director of Sri City, highlighted that with over 240 companies from 31 countries operating, Sri City has become a preferred destination for global investors—evidenced by the presence of an Australian joint venture such as Venture Automotive Tooling India Pvt Ltd.

He further mentioned that the Sri City-based Alstom Transport India Ltd, which manufactures world-class Metropolis trains, supplies rolling stock to the Sydney Metro Northwest—Australia’s first fully automated metro system—marking a significant milestone in India-Australia industrial cooperation.

Impressed by the scale and technological sophistication of the industrial park, Ms. Zaki remarked, “I am impressed by Sri City! It is one of the best business parks I have visited in India.”

Sharing a similar impression, Mr. Nathan Davis, Trade & Investment Commissioner, described Sri City as a forward-thinking business park with the scope, scale, and innovation to serve global manufacturing needs.

Later, the Consul-General also toured the park and visited the Venture Automotive Tooling facility—an Indo-Australian-South African joint venture specialising in advanced injection and blow-moulded tooling for the automotive sector.
