Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu met various Union ministers, seeking support for renewable energy projects, the Polavaram-Banakacherla link, and a defence manufacturing hub. He emphasized the significance of Centre-State collaboration for the initiatives aimed at boosting water accessibility and fostering regional development.

On Friday, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu made strategic visits to several Union ministers in the national capital, aspiring for enhanced support for his state's key projects.
