Overview
- Andhra Pradesh captured 25.3% of proposed investments in April–December 2025, or about ₹6.73 lakh crore, out of a nationwide total of ₹26.6 lakh crore that rose 11.5% year-on-year, according to Bank of Baroda using CMIE data.
- Over half of proposed capital was concentrated in three states, with Andhra Pradesh leading ahead of Odisha at 13.1% and Maharashtra at 12.8% for a combined 51.2% share.
- The state attributes investor interest to Speed of Doing Business measures, an escrow-based incentive mechanism, clear sector policies, and expanded infrastructure across ports, corridors, energy and digital networks.
- High-profile commitments included Google’s hyperscale data centre in Visakhapatnam, Karan Adani’s ₹1 lakh crore pledge over 10 years, and GMR’s plan to develop Bhogapuram as an aero city featuring a major MRO hub.
- Some neighbouring states, notably Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, raised concerns over incentive-led competition, while Andhra leaders stressed job creation and rapid project execution.
