Andhra Pradesh Industry Body Urges CM to Release Rs 5,000 Crore Pending Incentives
The Andhra Pradesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry Federation has appealed to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to expedite the release of about Rs 5,000 crore in pending incentives for MSMEs and food processing industries. While Rs 1,000 crore was released last year, delays continue to strain businesses' working capital and operations. The Chambers emphasized the need for a transparent, time-bound mechanism to prevent future arrears and highlighted the importance of clearing dues ahead of the upcoming CII Partnership Summit to boost investor confidence and support employment.
