Naidu inaugurates 49 MSME Parks across 17 districts in Andhra Pradesh

Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday (November 11, 2025) inaugurated a Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Park at Pedairlapadu village in Pedacherlo Palle mandal of Prakasam district. Additionally, he virtually participated in the inauguration and foundation stone-laying ceremonies of 49 other MSME Parks established across 17 districts of the State.

The Industries Department had embarked on works of 50 MSME projects at a cost of ₹873 crore in a total area of 868 acres in the State. The Chief Minister has virtually inaugurated and laid foundation stones for 1,597 MSMEs that have acquired land in the industrial parks. He also virtually inaugurated 38 mega industrial units set up across the State with an investment of ₹25,256 crore.

Later, speaking to the industrialists who set up units at the industrial parks in Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Anakapalle, Kurnool, Ananthapur, Chittoor and other districts through video conference, the Chief Minister said that the government will help any youth set up an industrial unit if they come forward with business ideas.

The Chief Minister said that the industrial parks are being developed in 175 constituencies across the State on a plug-and-play basis with electricity, water supply, roads and other infrastructure facilities. He said that the investments have been flowing into the State after the coalition government came to power due to the conducive business environment and industrial policies.

Speaking about the upcoming CII Partnership Summit to be held in Visakhapatnam on November 14-15, 2025, Mr. Naidu said, “The government is going to sign a memoranda of understanding (MoU) with several companies for an overall investment worth ₹10 lakh crore at this meeting. These agreements are likely to create more than eight lakh job opportunities in the State.”

“My aim is to create “one entrepreneur” from every family. The future is all about technology. Quantum Computing will start its operations in Amaravati in January, 2026. Reliance is setting up bioenergy plants in the State. We are producing green hydrogen to generate electricity at low cost. We are setting up “Drone City” in Orvakal and “Space City” in Tirupati,” the Chief Minister added.

Mr. Naidu further said that he has been trying to bring the brand A.P. back on its track. He lambasted YSR Congress Party-led government for reportedly ignoring the industries due to which several industrialists left the State during their term. Due to the wrong decisions taken by the former Chief Minister, the State has faced severe financial crisis, Mr. Naidu added.

Citing an example, he said, “The previous government didn’t procure power from the solar companies who had signed MoUs with the State. And, when the court directed the YSRCP government to pay compensation for not purchasing the power, they paid ₹9,000 crore from public funds. With that money, every women household in the State would have happily received ₹10,000 each.”

The Chief Minister claimed that the companies have again lined up to invest in the State. “It happened because of our team work. In the coalition government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is bringing new policies, while I am implementing them for the first time in our State, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan is supporting me and IT Minister Nara Lokesh is working relentlessly to accomplish them,” he said.
