Amaravati, the ambitious capital city of Andhra Pradesh, has drawn the attention of Malaysian companies keen to invest between Rs. 6,000 crore and Rs. 10,000 crore over the next five years. A high-level Malaysian delegation met Andhra Pradesh Municipal Administration Minister Dr. P. Narayana at the Secretariat and expressed strong interest in participating in the city’s development.

The delegation included Selangor State Exco Minister Papparayudu, Klang MP Ganapathi Rao, representatives of the Malaysia-Andhra Business Chamber, and industrialists of Telugu origin based in Malaysia. During their visit, the team toured ongoing construction works in Amaravati alongside Minister Narayana and later held detailed discussions at the Secretariat.

Several Malaysian companies presented their proposals through a detailed PowerPoint session, outlining projects across five key sectors, education, tourism and hospitality, trade and commerce, real estate and cultural initiatives linked to Telugu heritage. Among the highlights, Malaysia’s Cyberjaya University expressed interest in setting up a medical university in Amaravati, while Berjaya Group proposed to establish five-star hotels in the capital region.

He further explained that key governance buildings including the Secretariat towers, Assembly, and High Court are targeted for completion within two and a half years. While heavy rains in recent months have temporarily slowed progress, Narayana assured the Malaysian delegation that works are being expedited to meet deadlines.

Minister Papparayudu of Selangor affirmed that Malaysia is eager to collaborate with India on Amaravati’s growth, emphasizing the shared cultural and business ties between the two regions.
