Wipro is planning on investing 350 crores INR in setting up an FMCG unit in Andhra Pradesh. The meeting with CM Chandrababu Naidu has already happened at Interim Government Complex in Velagapudi. The keen interest of the company Wipro has been expressed by none other than their CFO, Raghav Swaminathan. Always one to gear up the facilities for development, the CM has promised allocation of 40 acres for supporting the investing party. The details are already under discussion.

Ashok Leyland too has major plans and this includes setting up a bus plant in Malavalli Industrial park in Krishna district. CM Chandrababu Naidu has already met the CEO and MD, Vinod K Dasari. The plant is to be spread over 75 acres with a capability of rolling out 4,800 buses annually. This requires heavy investing.
