The Government of Andhra Pradesh has taken another significant step toward strengthening the state’s industrial ecosystem with the inauguration of the APIIC MSME Park Kuppam. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu officially inaugurated the new industrial park at Pogurupalle village in the Kuppam constituency, reinforcing the government’s commitment to promoting manufacturing, agro-processing and MSME-led economic growth.
Alongside the inauguration of the industrial park, the Chief Minister also launched a ₹200-crore greenfield mega chicken-processing facility by ABIS Proteins, highlighting Andhra Pradesh’s focus on attracting large-scale investments while creating opportunities for small and medium enterprises.
The initiative is expected to encourage industrial development, generate employment and strengthen the regional supply chain by supporting local entrepreneurs and MSMEs.
APIIC MSME Park Kuppam to Support Regional Industrial Growth
The newly inaugurated APIIC MSME Park Kuppam has been developed as a dedicated industrial hub aimed at promoting sustainable industrial development in the region.
The park has been designed to provide modern infrastructure and a business-friendly environment for MSMEs operating in sectors such as:
- Agro-processing
- Food processing
- Cold storage
- Packaging
- Ancillary engineering
- Logistics
- Small-scale manufacturing
By bringing multiple industries under one integrated ecosystem, the park is expected to improve operational efficiency while encouraging investments from both existing businesses and new entrepreneurs.
₹200 Crore ABIS Proteins Plant Adds Momentum
A major highlight of the event was the inauguration of a ₹200-crore greenfield chicken-processing unit by ABIS Proteins.
The new facility is expected to strengthen Andhra Pradesh’s food processing value chain and create fresh opportunities for:
