Andhra Pradesh Records Over Six-Fold Surge in FDI Under TDP Government

AMARAVATI:
Andhra Pradesh has witnessed a sharp rise in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) under the Chandrababu Naidu-led TDP government, according to official data shared by the Union Government in Parliament.

Replying to a question raised by YSRCP MP Maddila Gurumoorthy in the Lok Sabha, the Centre said Andhra Pradesh received USD 608.59 million in FDI in FY 2025-26, compared to just USD 92.13 million in FY 2023-24, the last full financial year of the YSRCP government. This marks an increase of more than six times in less than two years.

The data also shows a steady rise in investments after the TDP government assumed office. FDI inflows increased from USD 92.13 million in FY 2023-24 to USD 233.14 million in FY 2024-2025, before rising further to USD 608.59 million in FY 2025-26. In effect, the government more than doubled FDI in its first year and nearly tripled it in its second year.

The biggest investments during FY 2025-26 came into metallurgical industries, food processing, cement and gypsum products, services, automobiles, chemicals, electrical equipment and electronics, reflecting growing investor confidence across multiple sectors.

The figures indicate a strong turnaround in Andhra Pradesh’s investment climate under the TDP government. Since coming to power, the state government has focused on improving ease and speed of doing business, speeding up approvals, strengthening infrastructure and attracting global investors.

In its reply, the Union Government also highlighted several national initiatives supporting investments in high-growth sectors, including the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, the Semicon India Programme, BioE3 and other policy measures aimed at promoting manufacturing, innovation and research.
