Kuppam: Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has launched a series of initiatives aimed at transforming his constituency, Kuppam, into an industrial and economic hub. The state government has facilitated the establishment of aviation and rocket manufacturing units, alongside food processing and fiberboard industries. During his visit, six significant Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) were signed with prominent companies in the presence of the Chief Minister, attracting investments exceeding ₹2,050 crore and promising thousands of direct and indirect employment opportunities.
Several key industrial projects are set to take shape in Kuppam.

In line with women’s empowerment, the government signed an agreement with Sheelids to train 10,000 women as entrepreneurial industrialists and facilitate market access for their products in rural areas.
