Naidu Reignites Global Partnerships
01 Aug 2025 Editorial Team
Reaffirming his commitment to positioning Andhra Pradesh as a global investment destination, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has secured Singapore’s renewed support for the development of Amaravati. During his visit to Singapore, Naidu held high-level discussions with Minister Tan See Leng, culminating in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on key infrastructure and governance initiatives.
The MoU marks a significant step in reviving the once-halted partnership, previously active during Naidu’s 2014–19 tenure. Singapore had then contributed to Amaravati’s master planning and early-stage development through a consortium selected via the Swiss Challenge method. The engagement had been suspended after a change in government in 2019.
With Naidu back at the helm, Singapore has expressed strong interest in resuming collaboration—not only in Amaravati but across sectors such as agriculture, food processing, renewable energy, digital innovation, port infrastructure, and skill development. Singapore-based firms like Food Empire and EverVolt are already exploring opportunities in the state, reflecting the growing investor confidence under Naidu’s leadership.
