At a CII summit in New Delhi, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said green energy, biogas, ethanol, EVs and decentralized micro-grids must anchor India’s next phase of growth.
Global conflicts and gas-supply disruptions have exposed energy-market vulnerabilities, he said, backing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s eight-point conservation push on fuel savings, efficiency and higher power capacity.
Andhra Pradesh has already started a rooftop-solar “prosumer” model and micro-grid rollout aimed at cutting transmission losses and turning households, farms and industries into power producers.
Naidu also cited nearly 20 lakh acres under natural farming in Andhra Pradesh, framing energy self-reliance and chemical-free agriculture as part of a broader reform-led development strategy.
