Nara Lokesh Leads AP Investor Roadshow in London, Eyes Global Capital Inflow
Andhra Pradesh is set to make a strong pitch to international investors in London this evening, as Minister for Information Technology Nara Lokesh hosts a high-profile Investor Roadshow ahead of the CII Partnership Summit 2025, scheduled for November 14–15 in Visakhapatnam.
The roadshow, to be held at the Institute of Directors, Pall Mall, will bring together more than 150 chief executives and senior representatives from investment funds, major manufacturing firms, and service providers. Minister Lokesh is expected to highlight Andhra Pradesh’s ambitious industrial roadmap and the surge in investments that have followed the formation of the coalition government in June 2024.
According to official data, Andhra Pradesh approved 122 projects worth ₹10,06,799 crore (over ₹10 lakh crore) in the past year. The government has already earmarked more than one lakh acres of land for existing and upcoming industrial clusters. The state has set a target to double this investment figure in the coming year, underscoring its intent to establish Andhra Pradesh as India’s most attractive destination for global investments.
The London roadshow is expected to feature a presentation by Minister Lokesh on investment opportunities in the state, followed by a fireside chat with investors. He will also hold one-on-one meetings with global business leaders, including representatives from the Hinduja Group and Rolls Royce Group.
Minister Lokesh is expected to outline Andhra Pradesh’s long-term vision, which extends beyond capital inflows to prioritise advanced manufacturing, green energy, digital innovation, and port-led industrialisation.
Several top corporates and industry bodies will participate in the event, including Ericsson, Bank of America, Cyient, Evante Global, AI OpenSec, and the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, along with other distinguished stakeholders.
The London engagement is part of a series of international outreach programmes leading up to the CII Partnership Summit 2025 in Visakhapatnam. The summit will convene global CEOs, policymakers, and leaders for strategic discussions on trade, technology, and sustainable growth.
