Amaravati, December 31: Andhra Pradesh marks 2025 as a landmark year in its investment journey. The state secured nearly Rs 20 lakh crore in commitments through proactive policies and key events like the CII Partnership Summit in Visakhapatnam.
That November summit alone delivered Rs 13.25 lakh crore via 613 MoUs, surpassing the Rs 10 lakh crore target. Major players include Google with a $15 billion AI hub in Vizag, ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel's Rs 1.4 lakh crore greenfield plant, and Reliance's Rs 98,000 crore data centre venture.
Other approvals cover IT campuses from TCS, Cognizant, and Sify, spanning manufacturing, renewables, logistics, and digital infrastructure.
Over Rs 8.29 lakh crore in proposals have cleared the State Investment Promotion Board, with more than half the MoUs advancing to approvals.
This momentum stems from investor-friendly reforms, single-window clearances, and global outreach by leaders like IT Minister Nara Lokesh. The commitments aim to create lakhs of jobs and drive balanced growth across regions.
