Introduction
Andhra Pradesh’s strategic location and long coastline have fostered a strong trade ecosystem, with major ports connecting India’s interior to global markets.
Andhra Pradesh used digitization and key reforms to streamline industrial approvals, achieving the top spot in India’s “Ease of Doing Business” rankings by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade.
Need for a New Industrial Policy 2024-29
For nearly 30 years, companies have invested heavily in Asia for its low costs and large consumer market, but this has led to a risky overconcentration in a few countries. To counter rising costs, supply chain risks, and geopolitical uncertainties, companies are now seeking diverse production hubs, with India emerging as a prime option due to its economic reforms, skilled workforce, competitive costs, and strong international ties. While India’s advantages make it an appealing alternative, continued reforms are essential to fully leverage its potential in global supply chains.
Through its renewed industrial policy, the state of Andhra Pradesh aims to continue such a reform-based agenda
