Investors are key partners in nation-building, driving economic growth, creating employment and bringing in innovation, technology and global opportunities. Protecting their investments and ensuring policy stability are essential to building a strong and trusted investment ecosystem. A Central Investment Protection Act would provide this assurance by safeguarding investors against uncertainties arising from regime changes and political vendetta. Andhra Pradesh will introduce its own Investment Protection Bill and take it to the Central Government, urging the Centre to consider its adoption and facilitate national legislation that strengthens investor confidence and makes India a more attractive global investment destination. @PiyushGoyal #CIIPartnershipSummit2026 #ChooseSpeedChooseAndhraPradesh #InvestInAndhraPradesh

During the 31st CII Partnership Summit 2026, I held meetings with H.E. Mr. Deepak Kumar Sah, Nepal’s Minister for Industry, Commerce and Supplies, and with Mr. Kenji Hiramatsu, Chairman of the Institute for International Strategy, Japan Research Institute (JRI). With Minister Sah, we discussed strengthening Nepal-Andhra Pradesh ties, facilitating Nepal’s maritime trade through Visakhapatnam Port, the proposed Nepal Consulate in Visakhapatnam, and developing a Buddhist tourism circuit connecting Lumbini with Amaravati and Nagarjunakonda. With Mr. Hiramatsu, we explored opportunities for greater Japanese industrial participation in Andhra Pradesh, including developing dedicated Japanese industrial townships, assessing the ecosystem for a shipbuilding cluster, promoting strategic exchanges and skill development, and preparing investment blueprints for Japanese companies. Andhra Pradesh looks forward to deepening these partnerships and creating new avenues for trade, investment and industrial cooperation. #CIIPartnershipSummit2026 #ChooseSpeedChooseAndhraPradesh #InvestInAndhraPradesh

My discussions with the Russian Ambassador focused on opportunities in aluminium manufacturing, defence and aerospace, seafood and agricultural exports, metro rail and urban transport, alongside academic, research and cultural exchanges. These engagements will help open new avenues for international investment, trade and cooperation across key sectors of Andhra Pradesh. #CIIPartnershipSummit2026 #ChooseSpeedChooseAndhraPradesh #InvestInAndhraPradesh

Andhra Pradesh has consistently demonstrated how visionary partnerships can transform regions. Kia’s journey in Anantapur is a testament to this. During our tenure in 2014–19, we brought Kia to Anantapur, transforming a drought-prone district into a major automotive manufacturing hub. Today, Kia vehicles manufactured here reach 100 countries, creating thousands of jobs and strengthening India’s global automotive presence. Taking this successful partnership forward, we have signed an MoU with Kia for a second manufacturing facility in Anantapur, backed by an investment of US$2 billion. The facility will add an annual capacity of 2 lakh vehicles and generate approximately 12,000 direct and indirect jobs. This will take Kia India's combined annual production capacity across both plants to over 6 lakh vehicles, with cumulative investments reaching US$5 billion. I also held discussions with Mr. Gwanggu Lee, MD & CEO, Kia India, and Mr. Eui Chul Jeong, Senior Vice President, Kia Corporation, on the company's long-term plans in AP, including EV manufacturing, automotive innovation and strengthening the local supplier ecosystem. @KiaInd #CIIPartnershipSummit2026 #ChooseSpeedChooseAndhraPradesh #InvestInAndhraPradesh

Women are central to nation-building and key drivers of inclusive economic growth, innovation and prosperity. Their empowerment must extend beyond economic participation to ownership, leadership and equal representation in decision-making. At AP's first Women & Growth Summit 2026, I was delighted to join Smt. @smritiirani Ji, Ms. @shobanakamineni Ji, Mr. Chandrajit Banerjee Ji (@CB_CII), CII leaders and women entrepreneurs for meaningful discussions on strengthening women's economic participation, fostering entrepreneurship, improving access to capital and expanding opportunities across industries. Andhra Pradesh is committed to enabling women to move from being beneficiaries to becoming entrepreneurs, owners and leaders. With an ambitious target of five lakh women entrepreneurs in 2026-27, our focus is on strengthening women-led enterprises, expanding their role in governance and creating pathways for greater economic independence and leadership. #WomenAndGrowthSummit2026 #NariShakti #InvestInAndhraPradesh

Over the last two-and-a-half years, Andhra Pradesh has secured 714 investment MoUs worth ₹22.6 lakh crore, with 526 projects worth ₹17.1 lakh crore moving towards implementation - achieving a 74% conversion rate.

These milestones reflect the growing global confidence in Andhra Pradesh and our determination to translate investment commitments into results. #CIIPartnershipSummit2026 #ChooseSpeedChooseAndhraPradesh #InvestInAndhraPradesh

23 years ago, a much younger @shekhargupta and I met at the historic Charminar in Hyderabad to ‘walk the talk’ and discuss life, politics, and development. It was a pleasure to host Shekhar again today, as we walked through the developing city of the future, Amaravati. A memorable interview is coming up soon!

As a CM, I’ve been seeing cyclones in AP since 1996. I have always believed in the power of technology to provide relief and accelerate fast response in cyclones. This time we were able to use AI to improve forecasting, minimize casualties, and transform relief operations. We have a long way to go, and we will keep working to get better! I’m happy that @theprintindia has recognized our efforts
