Andhra Pradesh has emerged as the top investment destination in India during the current financial year. According to a Bank of Baroda report, the state has attracted 25.3 percent of all proposed investments announced in the first nine months of FY26. This places Andhra Pradesh ahead of major states like Odisha and Maharashtra.
The report shows that total investment proposals across India touched Rs 26.6 lakh crore during this period. This is an increase of more than 11 percent compared to last year. Out of this, more than half of the investments are concentrated in just three states, with Andhra Pradesh leading the list.
Industry experts say this marks a clear shift in India’s investment landscape. More companies are now choosing eastern and southern states, with Andhra Pradesh becoming a preferred option for large scale projects.
IT and Industries Minister Nara Lokesh reacted to the report by stating that Andhra Pradesh is not trying to catch up but is moving ahead. He said the strong performance is the result of consistent reforms, quick decision making, and a clear commitment to investors. According to him, the government’s focus has been on creating a stable policy environment and delivering results on the ground.
The state government credits this success to its investor friendly approach. Fast approvals, clear sector based policies, and strong infrastructure development have played a key role. Major investments have been announced in manufacturing, renewable energy, electronics, data centres, mobility, ports, logistics, and core infrastructure.
Officials also point out that Andhra Pradesh has actively engaged with both global and domestic investors. Stable policies and an execution focused administration have helped convert interest into large investment commitments.
Nara Lokesh said the government’s priority is not just attracting investments but ensuring they lead to factories, jobs, and real economic benefits for people. With this momentum, Andhra Pradesh is now seen as a major driver of India’s next phase of industrial growth.
