Minister Srinivas launches new entrepreneurship drive
Tirupati: In a major push to foster entrepreneurship and accelerate MSME development, Minister for MSME, SERP, and NRI Empowerment & Relations, Kondapalli Srinivas launched the project 'Abhivrudhi Padham lo Swarna Andhra Pradesh Nuthana Prayanam' in Tirupati on Saturday. The minister also inaugurated the CII Andhra Pradesh Entrepreneurs Development Forum and the CII Tirupati Entrepreneurs Development Forum, aiming to create a robust support ecosystem for entrepreneurs in the region.
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister highlighted the state government's flagship initiative, 'One Family, One Entrepreneur', which envisions cultivating a culture of entrepreneurship in every household. He emphasised that this mission is crucial for the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which are seen as key drivers of self-reliance, innovation, and employment generation.
To sustain Andhra Pradesh's ambitious economic targets including an annual growth rate exceeding 15 percent and a $2.4 trillion economy under 'Swarna Andhra@2047', Minister Srinivas reiterated the Chief Minister's call for the establishment of at least one MSME park in each constituency. These parks will feature plug-and-play infrastructure, including roads, power, training facilities, and subsidised costs, aimed at reducing initial capital burdens for new enterprises. Tirupati District Collector Dr S Venkateswar noted that districts such as Tirupati, Anakapalli, and Visakhapatnam stand out for their dynamic MSME sectors. Tirupati alone boasts over 15,000 MSMEs generating more than 2.5 lakh jobs—surpassing employment figures in the district's large-scale industries. He also revealed that the MSME sector in Tirupati is growing at an impressive rate of 18 percent.
Vice Chairman of CII Andhra Pradesh, S. Narendra Kumar stressed the national need to create 7.85 million non-farm jobs annually by 2030. He underscored the role of microenterprises as the engine of job growth in dynamic economies and said that the state's emphasis on mass entrepreneurship aligns closely with India's employment objectives. Past Chairman of CII Andhra Pradesh Vijay Naidu Galla, and Vice Chairman of CII Tirupati SP Rajendran also spoke.

Need of 6,900 acre land, $9 bn investment by 2030 to set up EV infra: Report
Nearly 6,900 acre of land and $9 billion investments will be required by 2030 for setting up facilities for EV (electric vehicle) manufacturing, lithium-ion battery production and public charging stations , according to Savills India . Real estate consultant Savills India has released report 'Charged for Change: How EVs Are Reshaping Indian Real Estate' stating that the EV market in India has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by market forces, government policies, rising environmental concerns, and increasing fuel costs. The government has launched several initiatives to accelerate EV adoption and strengthen the supporting ecosystem. "An investment of $7.5 to 9 billion will be required by 2030, primarily for land acquisition and the development of facilities for EV manufacturing, lithium-ion battery production, and public charging stations," the consultant said. In high-adoption scenario, the required investments will be $9 billion while $7.5 billion will be needed in the case of medium adoption. The report further estimated 5,760 to 6,852 acres of land by 2030 to support EV manufacturing, lithium-ion battery plants, and public charging infrastructure. Srinivas N, Managing Director, Industrial & logistics, Savilla India , said, "Aligning with India's target of achieving 30 per cent EV penetration by 2030, the real estate sector is expected to experience significant growth driven by the rise in EV adoption." The growing demand for EVs will stimulate the need for multiple real estate segments, including industrial and warehousing spaces to support EV and battery manufacturing, EV assembly units, and the storage and distribution of EV components and batteries, he added. Additionally, the expansion of supply chains will increase the demand for strategically located warehouses and logistics parks, said Srinivas. "The government's role with several policies and various initiatives, collectively aims to establish a robust EV ecosystem in the country by fostering innovation, investment and infrastructure development while addressing climate change and energy security concerns," he said. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), in line with projections by NITI Aayog and the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), estimates cumulative EV sales in India to reach 25.3-31.8 million units by 2030 - an annual average of 4.2 to 5.3 million units. According to Savills, this will drive land requirement of 2,009 to 2,467 acres for manufacturing facilities, with a built-up potential of 43.8 to 53.7 million square feet.
