Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said that manufacturing and agriculture will be the twin engines of the next phase of economic growth in Andhra Pradesh, according to BusinessLine.
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu told BusinessLine that the state’s upcoming growth cycle will be anchored by two sectors – manufacturing and agriculture. He emphasized that a balanced focus on both will create a resilient economic base for Andhra Pradesh.
Naidu outlined plans to attract investment in manufacturing, citing the state’s infrastructure upgrades, industrial corridors and policy incentives aimed at boosting production capacity. He indicated that these measures are intended to position Andhra Pradesh as a hub for value‑added manufacturing.
On the agricultural front, the chief minister highlighted initiatives to modernise farming practices, improve supply‑chain logistics and expand market access for farmers. He stressed that strengthening agriculture will not only raise rural incomes but also complement industrial growth.
Together, the twin‑sector strategy is expected to generate new jobs, increase exports and raise the state’s contribution to the national economy. Naidu called for collaborative efforts from the private sector, cooperatives and government agencies to realise these objectives.
