Andhra Pradesh has become India's leading investment destination, securing 25.3% of proposed capital investments in the first nine months of FY26, according to a Bank of Baroda report. The state now surpasses Odisha and Maharashtra, with these three states accounting for over half of India's total proposed investments. Nationwide, investment announcements rose 11.5% year-on-year to Rs 26.6 lakh crore, driven by government policies, lower interest rates, and a positive investment environment.
