Andhra Pradesh is going all out to woo the TATAs to invest massively in the state and set up manufacturing units in various sectors and promised all necessary support from the government.

A day after his one on one interaction with TATA Sons Limited chairman Mr Ratan Tata on the sidelines of the inauguration of TATA Advanced Systems Limited’s helicopter cabin manufacturing facility on Sunday,

Andhra Pradesh chief minister Mr K Rosaiah told Mr Ratan Tata that “Raw material for the refinery is available in the region.”

The chief minister also wanted the TATA Sons chairman to consider any future expansion of TATA’s automotive projects in AP for which all necessary support will be provided by the government.

Mr Rosaiah recalled that the TATA Group scouted for land for locating their Nano car project near Hyderabad. The chief minister said that “In view of the growing automobile market in India and the increasing market share of Tata cars of various models they might be requested to invest in the automotive sector in the State, either on the outskirts of Hyderabad or any other location as per their choice.”

Similarly, there was a good potential for a steel plant in the State for which suitable site could be allocated in Anantapur or Kadapa districts of Rayalaseema region.
