Andhra Pradesh Minister for MSME, SERP, and NRI Empowerment and Relations Kondapalli Srinivas on Thursday reviewed the status of the proposed 175 MSME Parks across the State with focus on accelerating land allotment and infrastructure development. APIIC VC & MD Abhishikt Kishore and other senior officials participated in the meeting held at the APIIC headquarters in Mangalagiri. Mr. Srinivas directed the APIIC to complete land allotments in all the MSME parks within 30 days, urging immediate support to entrepreneurs. He emphasised fast-tracking the process in the 11 parks already inaugurated, and mandated biweekly progress review meetings. To ensure transparency and effective monitoring, the officials were instructed to submit updates every 15 days and maintain a detailed tracker outlining each park's status with specific timelines. In a move to make land affordable, the Minister encouraged the APIIC to seek financial support under the Ministry of MSME's MSE-CDP scheme, which could significantly reduce land costs for entrepreneurs. He also urged officials to explore the Public-Private-People Partnership (P4) model to enhance private sector participation in park development. The meeting reflected the government's commitment to boosting industrial growth and job creation by strengthening the MSME ecosystem across the State.
