Andhra Pradesh Emerges As India’s Top Investment Destination
A Bank of Baroda report named Amravati, Andhra Pradesh, as India’s top investment destination. With 25.3% of all proposed investments in FY26, Andhra has become the dream investment destination of India. “Andhra Pradesh has the highest share of 25.3%, followed by Odisha with 13.1%, Maharashtra with 12.8%, Telangana with 9.5% and Gujarat 7.1%,” the report revealed.
Across India, investment announcements touched ₹26.6 lakh crore during the period, marking an 11.5% year-on-year increase.

More than half, 51.2%, of India’s total proposed capital investment is now spread across Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Maharashtra.
As per the Andhra Pradesh government, this achievement is all thanks to their investor-friendly policies, fast-track approvals, sector-focused strategies, and robust infrastructure development across ports, industrial corridors, logistics, energy, and digital networks.
