AP govt clears infra hurdles, backs small firms
VIJAYAWADA: From unblocking legacy land litigations in Tirupati to laying dedicated industrial water pipelines in Kurnool, targeted administrative interventions across Andhra Pradesh are helping hundreds of stalled manufacturing units get moving.
Under the State’s MSME Policy 4.0, inter-departmental interventions are driving a wider infrastructure push that has seen the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) hand over 3,246 industrial plots, spanning 1,954 acres, to small enterprise owners between June 2024 and September 2026.
These plot allocations represent a proposed investment of Rs 9,162 crore and have an estimated direct employment potential of more than 1.15 lakh jobs, moving the state closer to its target of “One Family, One Entrepreneur by 2030”.
