Industry bigwigs cite ease of doing business and ease of connectivity, among others, as factors for setting up their units in Andhra Pradesh
Investors have showered praise on Andhra Pradesh and expressed their gratitude to the State government for providing “one of the best single-window clearance systems” in the entire country.
The investors were speaking at a curtain-raiser organised in New Delhi on Tuesday for the Global Investors’ Summit scheduled to be organised in Visakhapatnam in March.
Cadbury India (USA) president Deepak Dharmarajan Iyer said they were “proud partners of Andhra Pradesh.”
‘The State government has been proactive and supportive ever since Cadbury India started its business units in Sri City. The company has invested more than ₹2,500 crore and created more than 6,000 direct jobs and several thousand indirect jobs engaging in transportation and distribution. Apart from manufacturing, we are growing cocoa in several districts of the State. We bring 3,000-4,000 farmers into its production. We have six operating units. Another is coming up soon,” Mr. Iyer said.
“Our deepest gratitude to the Government of A.P. for providing one of the best single-window clearance systems in the entire country. We do business across the country, but A.P. is one of the best,” he said.
KIA Motors (Korea) MD & CEO Tae Jin Park said the State government helped them build a world-class car facility, including EBs.
“The ease of connectivity, including proximity to major ports such as Krishnapatnam and Chennai, enables us to sell our cars not just across India but across 95 countries in the world. We are extremely grateful to the State government for supporting us in manufacturing cars safely during the COVID-19 period,” he said.
YSRCP government vindictive and corrupt to the core, alleges Union Minister Piyush Goyal. NDA will form the government in State and Chandrababu Naidu will take over as Chief Minister on June 4, he says after meeting the TDP chief. Under the YSRCP rule, Andhra Pradesh has become a haven for sand, land and liquor mafia.
