What is being built, and what could come next
Eight industrial ecosystems are forming in Andhra Pradesh around projects that are already approved and under way. Each one has an anchor, a set of companies gathering around it and room for more.
The eight
Each entry shows the anchor project, the companies that have followed it and where the next opportunity sits.

If you are a supplier
Between them the anchors above buy a long list of components, and most of those could be made closer to the plant. Coming in behind an anchor is the lowest-risk way to enter an Indian manufacturing market. The offtake is already on the ground, the cluster infrastructure is built and the logistics are solved.
Tell us what you make. We will tell you who here would buy it, and introduce you.
If you are an anchor
Supplier development is part of the Board’s work rather than something left to you. We help locate and qualify local suppliers, and we help bring your existing suppliers into the state while local capability builds up.
The state’s interest and yours coincide here: localisation lowers your landed cost and deepens the ecosystem at the same time.
