Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu welcomed the data that ranks the state as India's top investment destination. According to recent reports, the state has managed to bag over 25 per cent of all proposed investments across the country during the first nine months of the 2025-26 financial year.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Naidu credited this achievement to his government’s aggressive policy overhaul. He pointed specifically to his "speed of doing business" initiatives and the introduction of a new escrow-based mechanism designed to ensure that industrial incentives are distributed transparently and without delay. For the Chief Minister, these numbers are proof that the state's long-term vision is finally resonating with major global and domestic players.
Naidu thanked investors for their trust but was quick to tell his team that this milestone is just the beginning. He emphasised that the goal isn't just to top a list, but to build a foundation for "sustained growth" that actually reaches the people of Andhra Pradesh. He called on more companies to look to the state, promising an emphasis on efficiency and industry-specific support in order to make the state "a destination for growth."
The TDP supremo also chose to acknowledge the efforts of certain state government officials whose efforts remained behind the scenes for acquiring such deals and whose dedication has been instrumental in putting Andhra Pradesh at a favourable position among other industrial centres in the nation.
