The energy sector has attracted a lion’s share of total investment commitments sealed by the Andhra Pradesh government in the CII Partnership Summit 2025.
“Out of a total investment commitment of ₹13.25 lakh crore secured in the form of 613 MoUs in the last three days, ₹5.33 lakh crore are in the energy sector, including green energy,” Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu told newspersons here on Friday.
The share of industrial sector infrastructure and IT investments was at ₹2.83 lakh crore, ₹2.10 lakh crore and ₹1.59 lakh crore, respectively, followed by others.
The two-day summit, which ended today, was a ‘super hit’ and was organised on the model of the Davos Summit with equal focus on knowledge sharing, Naidu said.
Including ₹8.87 lakh crore in investments approved before the summit, the total new investments now stand at ₹20.25 lakh crore, the Chief Minister said.
This has the potential to create 24 lakh jobs over the next three years as per the pre-poll promise of the NDA alliance, he added.
“The government is decentralising investments across the State,” he said.
To secure and sustain investor confidence, the State Government would open escrow accounts. “We will also offer sovereign guarantee by changing laws if needed to ensure safety and continuity of investments and businesses,” Naidu said.
A follow-up mechanism has been established to ensure the grounding of projects through monthly monitoring.
On the competition from other States in attracting industry, he said the government believes in cooperative federalism. “Let other States feel the heat and compete with policies,” he said.
The State Government is now aiming to attract $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years.
The key MoUs signed on Friday included ₹4,500 crore investment by Anant Raj to develop a data centre and IT park, ₹2,250 crore by TruAlt Bioenergy (TruAlt) to set up a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production facility (80,000 TPA) in Srikakulam–Vizianagaram and ₹1,500 crore by Goa Shipyard for a shipbuilding unit in Machilipatnam.
In addition, deals were also signed for a ₹1,201 crore investment by the Raymond Group for apparel and auto components units, with the Airports Authority of India for a Greenfield airport in Srikakulam, and for a Centre for Frontier Technologies and an Innovation Centre for Cyber Security in collaboration with the World Economic Forum.
