Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu asserted that the Confederation of Indian Industry, which had few interested parties earlier, is now being courted by many, echoing a claim made by Andhra Pradesh officials.
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu responded to a recent Andhra Pradesh government statement that the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) struggled to find partners in its early outreach. Naidu highlighted that the situation has reversed, with numerous stakeholders now seeking CII's involvement.
The Andhra Pradesh claim, reported by local media, suggested that when CII first approached the state, there were "no takers" for its initiatives. According to the claim, the scenario has shifted dramatically, with businesses and institutions now eager to collaborate with the industry body.
Naidu's remarks did not include specific figures but underscored the broader trend of growing interest in CII's programs across the region. Observers noted that the minister's comments reflect both the state's evolving industrial strategy and CII's expanding footprint in southern India.
No official response from CII was recorded at the time of reporting, and the statement remains limited to Naidu's assessment of the changing dynamics.
