The Bharat Summit is a international political conference held at Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The first edition of this summit took place on the 25 and 26 April 2025 at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC). This was hosted by the Government of Telangana along with the Samrudha Bharat Foundation, a think tank associated with the Indian National Congress.^[1][2] This Summit brings together policymakers, activists and politicians from multiple progressive parties and movements across India and abroad to talk about subjects including economic and social justice, gender equality and the state of world democracy.^[3] The first edition of the Bharat Summit ended with the adoption of a 44-point document known as the Hyderabad Resolution.^[4] A second edition of the Bharat Summit was announced on 10 November 2026.^[5][6]

The Telangana government announced the summit in April 2025. It was timed to mark the 70th anniversary of the 1955 Bandung Conference, in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, which laid the initial groundwork for the Non-Aligned Movement.^[2] Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka along with the IT and Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu released the summit's logo on 14 April 2025. Sridhar Babu said at the event that this summit would help the Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to present his development plan "Telangana Rising" and explore opportunities for global investment and enterprenuership within the state.^[7]

The first edition of this summit was held on the 25 and 26 of April 2025. State ministers said about 450 delegates from more than 100 countries were expected to attend with focus on justice and pluralism.^[8] The overall theme for the Bharat Summit 2025 was "Delivering Global Justice".^[9]

The summit opened three days after the 2025 Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir and the security in Hyderabad was increased for the event.^[10] Chief Minister Revanth Reddy led a candlelight march in the memory of the victims of the Pahalgam attack, in which the foreign delegates took part.^[11]

The Summit was criticised by opposition parties in Telangana, particularly the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), which argued that a congress party event had been staged with public money. Before the event, Telangana Today questioned the role of the Samruddha Bharat Foundation as a co-organiser.^[20]

On the first day, posters displaying a map of India that left out Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Ladakh drew criticism and the organisers had them removed.^[21]

In June 2025, BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao, criticised the state government for spending 29.45 crore on the two-day event while saying it lacked funds for its election promises.^[22]

On the 10 November 2026, Congress leaders announced at a press conference in New Delhi that the second edition of The Bharat Summit would be held in Hyderabad on the 13 and 14 November 2026, with about 1000 delegates expected from 70 countries.^[5] According to The Indian Express, the second edition of the summit is being organised by the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee and coincides with the 137th birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru.^[23] Sridhar Babu said its sessions would cover geopolitics, the new world order, climate change, the role of media, journalism and information integrity.^[23]
