Upcoming Industrial Projects in Andhra Pradesh 2026

Projects India currently tracks 3,965 upcoming projects across all sectors in Andhra Pradesh, of which 931 are marked verified. The combined recorded cost of projects with a known cost figure stands at about Rs 32.04 lakh crore. Thirty-five projects were added to our database in the last 90 days, up from 22 in the 90 days before that — a signal that deal flow in the state is accelerating. These span greenfield manufacturing, power generation, chemicals, roads, water infrastructure and more.

Andhra Pradesh project pipeline at a glance

Largest upcoming industrial and infrastructure projects in Andhra Pradesh

The table below lists the highest-value projects our database records for the state. Each row represents a distinct investment opportunity for EPC contractors, equipment suppliers and specialist consultants.

Three things stand out. First, green hydrogen and ammonia has emerged as a dominant theme, with ReNew Power, NTPC Green Energy and Avaada Green Hydrogen together accounting for over Rs 2 lakh crore in planned investment along the Kakinada and Visakhapatnam coast. Second, the BPCL refinery appears in our records as two entries — one at Gudlur and one at SPSR Nellore — each valued at Rs 1,03,408 crore, reflecting different site assessments for what is effectively one strategic project. Third, the NTPC Green Energy project at Pudimadaka is already at Construction Started stage, with an expected completion of December 2026. For a broader view of power projects in Andhra Pradesh, our database covers all stages from early announcement through commissioning.

Where upcoming projects are concentrated in Andhra Pradesh

Geography shapes the supply chain opportunity, and the distribution across the state is uneven, as the chart below shows.

Visakhapatnam leads with 555 projects, driven by its port infrastructure, the NTPC green hydrogen facility at Pudimadaka and the proposed KSR Maritime port at Nakkapalle. Krishna district follows with 479 projects — a reflection of its established industrial base and expanding water and power networks. Chittoor (401) and Guntur (400) are close behind. Chittoor is notable for Apollo Tyres' Phase IV expansion, while Guntur carries the Rs 83,796 crore river-linking project promoted by the state's Irrigation and CAD Department. Srikakulam holds some of the state's highest-value greenfield bets: the Haldia Petrochemicals chemical complex and the Kalyani Steels plant at Mulapeta Port. EPC teams and material suppliers with a regional presence in Vizag or Kakinada are likely best positioned to serve the largest pipeline right now.

Project stage breakdown: what it means for sellers

Understanding which stage a project is at determines what it is buying today, as the chart below shows.

The single largest cohort — 2,011 projects — is Under Approvals. These projects are past concept but are awaiting land acquisition, environmental clearances or financial closure. For equipment vendors and EPC firms, this is the right moment to register interest with project developers, submit technical pre-qualifications and position for when tenders are issued. The Planning stage holds 699 projects: these are earlier still, but they represent intelligence leads worth tracking now rather than later. Construction Started projects number 824 — a substantial active-works pool covering immediate procurement of civil materials, mechanical equipment, electrical systems and subcontracting packages. Only 129 projects sit at Approvals Received, the narrow window between clearance and contract award, but these move to tender fastest. The 46 projects at Nearly Completion represent opportunities for commissioning services, O&M contracts and spare-parts supply agreements.

By sub-sector, Other Construction Projects (550), Water & Sewerage Pipeline & Distribution (331) and Real Estate (297) lead on volume, but industrial projects in Andhra Pradesh — spanning Drugs & Pharmaceuticals (194), Other Industrial Projects (226), Captive Power (124) and Roadways/Highways (158) — represent the most equipment-intensive and highest-margin opportunities for specialist suppliers. The most active government promoters include the Transmission Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Limited (140 projects, about Rs 8,007 crore), the Roads and Buildings Department (91 projects, about Rs 52,385 crore) and the Irrigation and CAD Department (60 projects, about Rs 1.64 lakh crore combined recorded cost), as the chart below illustrates.

Projects added to our database in the last 90 days

Thirty-five new Andhra Pradesh entries were added to our records in the last 90 days, compared with 22 in the previous period. The recent additions include a mix of heavy industry, agri-processing and transport infrastructure that reflects the breadth of activity under way.

• BPCL Refinery, Nellore (Rs 1,03,408 crore, Under Approvals) — the state's largest recently logged project, representing a potential decade of procurement activity across refinery process equipment, civil works and utilities.
• Apollo Tyres Phase IV Expansion, Chittoor (Rs 6,100 crore, Construction Started) — already in construction, this tyre manufacturing expansion at Varadaiahpalem is an immediate opportunity for rubber-processing equipment vendors, civil contractors and utilities providers.
• NALCO Aluminium Smelter, Srikakulam (Rs 18,000 crore, Under Approvals) — a greenfield smelter from National Aluminium Company Limited that will require potline equipment, power infrastructure and extensive civil packages once approvals are secured.
• My Home Industries Cement Plant, Palnadu (Rs 2,597 crore, Under Approvals) — a new cement facility at Gamalapadu that signals continued construction-materials investment in the state's interior districts.
• Sugna Sponge TMT & Steel Rolling Mill Expansion, Anantapur (Rs 365 crore, Construction Started) — an ongoing expansion at Tadipatri with active civil and mechanical work.
• Jayaditya Agro Maize Wet Milling, Kurnool (Rs 300 crore, Approvals Received) — at Approvals Received stage, this agro-processing unit is likely to issue procurement enquiries shortly.
• Aaradhya Biogas Compressed Biogas, Kurnool (Rs 143 crore, Under Approvals) — a compressed biogas plant reflecting the state's growing interest in alternative fuels.
• AAI Domestic Terminal, Rajahmundry (Rs 350 crore, Nearly Completion) — issued by Airports Authority of India; at Nearly Completion stage, this is relevant for finishing trades, IT/BMS installation and O&M service providers.

For comparable recent project flows in neighbouring states, our coverage of upcoming projects in Odisha and upcoming industrial projects in Tamil Nadu provides useful context.

What this means for suppliers and contractors

The Andhra Pradesh pipeline is large enough that indiscriminate outreach is counterproductive. The practical approach is to segment by stage and by sector.

• Construction Started (824 projects): These are buying now. Procurement teams are active for civil materials, structural steel, electrical cabling, mechanical equipment and subcontract labour. Approach the project owner's procurement head or the appointed EPC contractor directly. The Apollo Tyres Chittoor expansion and the NTPC Pudimadaka hydrogen plant both fall here.
• Approvals Received (129 projects): Tenders typically follow clearances. The Hero Future Energies solar and wind project at Kurnool (Rs 30,000 crore) and the Jayaditya Agro maize milling plant in Kurnool are both at this stage. Pre-qualification submissions and vendor registration should happen now.
• Under Approvals (2,011 projects): This is the prospecting stage. Relationship-building with promoters, early technical discussions and site visits are the right activities. The BPCL refinery, NALCO smelter and multiple green hydrogen projects sit here. Companies that engage early are better placed when formal tenders appear.
• Planning (699 projects): The Haldia Petrochemicals petrochemical complex and APGENCO's coal-based power unit are in this cohort. Market intelligence here is about competitor awareness and long-cycle equipment lead times rather than immediate sales calls.
• Open tenders (3,723 live): Our records show 3,723 open government tenders in Andhra Pradesh right now, covering procurement across all departments. These are the fastest route to revenue for smaller contractors and suppliers. See live government tenders for the current listings.

How to track upcoming industrial projects in Andhra Pradesh

Projects India maintains a continuously updated database of 84,661 projects nationally, of which 3,965 are in Andhra Pradesh. Each entry includes the promoter, location, investment size, current stage and — where our research has established them — decision-maker contacts not available from public press notes alone. Verified project profiles include procurement timelines, capacity details and linked tender alerts. EPC contractors, equipment vendors and B2B sales teams use the projects intelligence database to shortlist prospects by district, sector, stage and investment threshold, then act before a project reaches open tender. For teams unfamiliar with the platform, a free sample project report shows the level of detail available on a specific entry. Suppliers looking to register in front of active project buyers can also list in the contractor and supplier directory. The full industrial projects in Andhra Pradesh listing is updated continuously as new projects are announced, approvals are granted and construction milestones are reached.
