Coromandel International Signs ₹2,000 Crore MoU with Andhra Pradesh

Coromandel International has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (AP EDB) on 13 November 2025 to invest a maximum of 2000 crore in the state. The investment shall be focused on business projects that would match the growth strategy of Coromandel and the objective of industrial development of Andhra Pradesh.

The contract defines a framework of execution of projects on time with the projects to be executed within the policies, rules and regulations of the government of Andhra Pradesh. Despite the MoU not being binding, it gives Coromandel a roadmap of expansion and other ways of contributing to the state in the manufacturing and agri-inputs industries.

On industry front, this proposed expenditure is a good indication of confidence in the investment environment in the state and its policy provisions in the manufacture of agrochemical and fertiliser. It also demonstrates how Andhra Pradesh is marketing itself as a place where large-scale industrial capital is located particularly in fertilisers, green technologies, and other related agri-inputs.

In the case of Coromandel International, the MoU provides a chance to increase operations, expand capacity and access manufacturing base in Andhra Pradesh. The company will be able to exploit the positive state-level policy alignment and accelerated regulatory clearances. The ecosystems of the state are going to gain in terms of job creation, improvement of infrastructure and increased industrial clustering.

The decision will be the speed of approvals being taken, how certain projects are solidifying and being put into practice, and whether Coromandel will make the timelines that are provided under the MoU. A successful implementation may further consolidate the company in the southern part of India and reinforce the area as a destination to the agricultural-inputs industry in terms of investment.
