Andhra Pradesh is the state which appears as the best destination for the Investment at present due to the approach in the present Double Engine Sarkars under the leadership of Chief Minister Nara Chandrandrababu Naidu with the Cooperation and Coordination of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. As experienced by the people of Andhra Pradesh between 2019 and 2024, existing investors left the State, and no new investors came in. Now, under the Double Engine Bullet Train Sarkar, investors across the world are looking towards Andhra Pradesh with renewed confidence and in the Chandrandrababu Naidu Garu led NDA government with the support of Narendra Modi led Union Government.
In line with the Double Engine Sarkar’s election promise to create 20 lakh employment opportunities, today’s efforts to attract investments are translating that vision into reality. Post 2024, under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji, the strategic coordination of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu Garu, the support of Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan Garu, and the persistent efforts of IT Minister Nara Lokesh Garu, Andhra Pradesh has emerged as the top destination for foreign investments in India.
But unfortunately, YSRCP leaders shedding the crocodile tears on the establishment of Data Centre at Vishakhapatnam and It is the better if YS Jagan and his party leaders are better to refrain from commenting on investments and it’s attraction in the State of Andhra Pradesh. The Adani Data Center initial step was taken up before 2019 itself, but in between 2019 and 2024, not a single step was taken forward during the YS Jagan regime instead of wasting the valuable time. Now, how can the YSRCP leaders talk negatively about Data centers or employment? The YSRCP leaders have no moral right to speak about the Google Data Center to claim any credit.
During Jagan’s tenure, Andhra Pradesh could attract only USD 888.13 million in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) over five years. In contrast, under Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s leadership, a single project — the Google Data Center — alone brought in USD 15 billion, clearly showing the difference in governance. in the year 2024–25, total investments worth ₹4.47 lakh crore flowed into the state, but foreign investments accounted for only USD 233.14 million. The reason is clear — between 2019 and 2024, the anti-investment climate and loss of investor confidence severely damaged Andhra Pradesh’s image.
The state is now advancing with a comprehensive development plan for all regions for the sustainable :
• Visakhapatnam is evolving as the Economic Capital of North Andhra, attracting both domestic and global investments.
• Rayalaseema is developing industrial corridors at Koparti and Orvakal, emerging as a manufacturing hub with drone parks and horticulture zones.
• Central Andhra is witnessing the construction of the capital Amaravati, the establishment of Quantum Valley, and the development of ports at Ramayapatnam and Machilipatnam, along with major industries like BPCL and Indosol.
Under the coalition government led by CM Chandrababu Naidu Garu, and with the support of PM Narendra Modi Ji, comprehensive regional development is creating vast employment opportunities for the youth. In just 18 months, the coalition government has successfully attracted ₹11 lakh crore worth of investments — a remarkable achievement of the Double Engine Sarkar with the goal of transforming Andhra Pradesh into a $2.4 trillion economy by 2047, growing at an average rate of 15%, CM Chandrababu Naidu Garu is working towards realizing PM Narendra Modi Ji’s vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, making Andhra Pradesh a key contributor as the Swarna Andhra 2047 as aspired by the Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu Garu.
Nara Lokesh Garu stated, Visakhapatnam’s target of achieving a $1 trillion GSDP is realistic and achievable. With strengths in IT and IT-enabled services, pharma, hydropower and green energy, new steel industries like Mittal, maritime trade, Bhogapuram Airport, and tourism, Visakhapatnam is well-positioned for rapid progress. The $15 billion Google investment marks a strong beginning toward the “Viksit Visakha” goal by 2047.
In 2018–19, Andhra Pradesh ranked 5th in FDI attraction, but under Jagan’s reverse governance, it slipped to 14th place. The coalition government’s goal is to restore Andhra Pradesh to the top position in FDI within the next year. During Jagan’s rule, reckless amendments in the Power Purchase Agreements, threats by YSRCP leaders to companies like Kia Motors, and conspiracies against Amaravati drove away domestic and foreign investors from the State. The only “industries” that thrived under his regime were poor-quality liquor manufacturing units with his aides for corrupt practices. People realised that YS Jagan’s led government ranked Andhra Pradesh lowest in FDI attraction, but highest in corruption, through his close associates.
The upcoming Industrial Summit in Visakhapatnam will feature genuine investment agreements — not trivial ones like in the past — but with global giants such as Google, Mittal Steel, and Hydro Power Projects, under the leadership of CM Chandrababu Naidu Garu. With PM Narendra Modi Ji’s central leadership and coordination, CM Chandrababu Naidu Garu’s vision, and the relentless pursuit of IT and investment growth by Minister Nara Lokesh Garu, supported fully by Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan Garu, the coalition government is committed to making Swarna Andhra Pradesh a proud partner in PM Modi Ji’s Viksit Bharat vision.
