From the first day it assumed office, the coalition government in Andhra Pradesh sent out a clear signal that growth would be the priority and investments would be the target. Under the leadership of Chandrababu Naidu, the state moved quickly to turn intent into action. That focus is now translating into results that are drawing global attention.

As the new year approaches, Andhra Pradesh has emerged as one of India’s most attractive destinations for investors. According to a recent Business edition of Forbes, the state recorded an impressive performance during the 2025 to 2026 financial year. Between April and December 2025, India saw investment proposals worth around Rs 26.6 lakh crore. Andhra Pradesh alone accounted for 25.3 percent of this total. This placed the state well ahead of many traditional investment hubs.

Odisha and Maharashtra followed with 13.1 percent and 12.8 percent respectively. Together, these three states attracted just over half of all investments proposed across the country. Andhra Pradesh led the group, reinforcing its growing reputation as a state that means business. The data was drawn from reports by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy and the Bank of Baroda.

Reacting to the milestone, Chandrababu Naidu described it as welcome news for the people of Andhra Pradesh and a strong start to the year. He thanked investors for believing in the state’s vision and acknowledged the commitment of the government machinery.

Importantly, the Chief Minister stressed that this success is not a finish line. It is a foundation. With sustained reforms, stronger partnerships, and a clear growth roadmap, Andhra Pradesh is steadily shaping a future driven by confidence and continuous progress.
