Andhra Pradesh secured 25.3% of India's proposed investments in FY26, surpassing Odisha and Maharashtra. The state's success is attributed to reforms, swift decision-making, and a predictable policy environment. Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Maharashtra collectively accounted for over half of the nation's proposed capital investments.

In a significant development, Andhra Pradesh has positioned itself as India's premier investment hub, capturing 25.3% of all proposed investments in the initial nine months of FY26, as highlighted by a Bank of Baroda report.

This southern state has edged past competitors like Odisha, which secured 13.1%, and Maharashtra at 12.8%, illustrating a shift towards the eastern and southern regions for industrial growth and investment.

According to state officials, Andhra Pradesh's achievement stems from consistent policy reforms, rapid decision-making processes, and a stable policy environment designed to foster industrial growth and complete projects efficiently.
