Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday (May 7, 2026) directed the District Collectors to encourage the MSME sector, which generates the most employment, and to resolve issues faced by companies, particularly those related to land allotment, without delay.

Reviewing the performance of various departments and the implementation of programmes at the Collectors’ Conference on Thursday (May 7, 2026), Mr. Naidu ordered that APIIC lands falling under Section 22A be removed from the prohibited list, and asked the Registration Department to clear such lands through the Inspector-Generals concerned.

He said products from various districts should grow into pan-India and global brands, on the lines of Araku Coffee.

Mr. Naidu said India was spending large amounts on imported products used in daily life, and that improving the quality and branding of Andhra Pradesh products would help retain that income within the State economy.
