Andhra Pradesh is strengthening its position as a major industrial and investment destination, attracting major investments across manufacturing, automotive, clean energy, and emerging technologies.
Several leading companies, including Kia India, Shree Cement, CleanMax, ReNew, and Saint-Gobain, have announced substantial investment plans to expand their operations and establish new facilities in the state.
Alongside these developments, the government is advancing plans to introduce quantum computing manufacturing in Amaravati. These announcements reflect the state's efforts to attract domestic and global businesses, expand industrial infrastructure, generate employment, and support India's manufacturing and energy transition goals. Together, these projects could reshape Andhra Pradesh's industrial landscape.
Andhra Pradesh is planning to establish South Asia's first quantum computing manufacturing facility across 250 acres in Amaravati. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu announced that the facility would be inaugurated on February 3, 2027. The state also plans to manufacture quantum equipment under the 'Made in Amaravati' brand and establish a quantum computer in the capital city.
The announcement came during the 31st CII Partnership Summit in Visakhapatnam, where Andhra Pradesh secured 73 memorandums of understanding (MoUs) and 15 preliminary deals worth Rs 5.84 lakh crore on the first day, with the potential to generate 1,07,693 jobs.
Shree Cement plans to invest Rs 7,000 crore in Andhra Pradesh to establish manufacturing facilities across three districts: Kadapa, Anakapalli, and Guntur. The investment follows the incentives offered by the state government, led by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, to attract industrial investments.
The proposed plants will strengthen the company's manufacturing presence in the state and support its long-term capacity expansion plans. Shree Cement aims to increase its overall production capacity beyond 80 million tonnes in the near future. The development adds to Andhra Pradesh's efforts to attract investments in traditional manufacturing industries and expand its industrial infrastructure across multiple districts.
Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions (CleanMax) has committed Rs 50,000 crore to develop integrated clean energy infrastructure in Andhra Pradesh. Under an MoU signed with the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board, the company plans to establish 3 GW of renewable energy capacity through wind and solar projects, alongside 1 GW of pumped hydro storage facilities.
The projects will support a 2 GW compute factory being developed in Kurnool in collaboration with AI cloud provider Neysa. CleanMax will manage the power infrastructure and supply, integrating generation, storage, and distribution to ensure round-the-clock clean energy availability. The projects will be developed in phases over the next five years.
Kia India plans to invest approximately $2 billion to establish an additional manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh. The proposed expansion is expected to increase the company's annual production capacity to 6.3 lakh vehicles from the existing 4.3 lakh units at its Anantapur facility. The investment will add approximately 2 lakh units of annual production capacity, strengthening Kia's manufacturing operations and supporting growing domestic and export demand.
Kia India CEO Gwanggu Lee announced the investment plans at the CII Partnership Summit in Visakhapatnam. The proposed facility is expected to begin production in early 2030, although some operational details are yet to be finalized.

ReNew has committed Rs 29,500 crore in principle to expand its clean energy infrastructure in Andhra Pradesh through two proposed projects. The investment includes a 2 GW pumped storage facility worth Rs 12,500 crore and a separate Rs 17,000 crore project focused on green ammonia and e-fuel production.
The announcements followed a meeting between Andhra Pradesh IT Minister Nara Lokesh and ReNew Chairman and CEO Sumant Sinha during the CII Partnership Summit. The pumped storage facility is expected to strengthen energy storage capabilities and support renewable power integration. These projects will complement ReNew's existing renewable energy, solar manufacturing, and hybrid power investments across the state.
French multinational Saint-Gobain plans to invest approximately Rs 2,000 crore in Andhra Pradesh to establish a float glass manufacturing facility at Atchutapuram. The proposed plant is part of the company's broader Rs 11,000 crore investment program in India over five years. Saint-Gobain has already acquired land at the location and signed a fresh MoU with the Andhra Pradesh government for the project.
The company plans to establish what it describes as the world's largest float glass manufacturing plant. The investment will further expand its existing industrial presence in the state, where its Atchutapuram facility currently manufactures plasterboard using biomass-based energy sources, including rice husk.
The investment announcements highlight Andhra Pradesh's growing appeal across traditional manufacturing, automotive production, clean energy, and advanced technologies. With companies such as Kia India, Shree Cement, CleanMax, ReNew, and Saint-Gobain expanding their presence, the state is building a diverse industrial ecosystem.
Its plans for quantum computing manufacturing and large-scale renewable energy infrastructure further strengthen its long-term ambitions. The next step will be translating these commitments into operational projects, creating employment opportunities, and strengthening the state's contribution to India's manufacturing and clean energy sectors
