He also highlighted the State’s focus on ‘Speed of Doing Business’, aiming to make Andhra Pradesh a prime destination for industrial growth.
The task force, comprising top representatives from Tata Sons, GMR Group, Apollo, L&T, TVS, and Piramal, among others, exchanged views on investment-friendly policies.
Leaders from the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), including Director General Chandrajit Banerjee, participated.
The Vision-2047 task force would focus on creating pathways to make Andhra Pradesh a leader in sustainable development and innovation, building on the State’s infrastructure and resources.
