Andhra Pradesh ranked as India’s leading investment destination in FY26 by attracting 25.3% of the total proposed investments, according to a major banking sector report. The state surpassed traditionally strong performers such as Odisha and Maharashtra. Key sectors contributing to this achievement include power generation, renewable energy, and metals. Investor confidence has been strengthened by policy reforms, faster approval mechanisms, clarity in regulations, and strong infrastructure development, particularly in ports, energy systems, and industrial corridors, positioning Andhra Pradesh as a major driver of India’s investment growth.
