Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday directed officials to take steps to transform products manufactured in Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) into global brands, and stressed that industrial clusters in the State must be integrated with road, rail and port networks to ensure superior connectivity.

Reviewing progress on product perfection clusters at the Secretariat, Mr. Naidu said plans to develop industrial clusters in the Visakhapatnam, Amaravati and Tirupati economic regions should be given concrete shape at the earliest. He also called for focused development of industrial and chemical parks under the Central Government’s Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojana (BHAVYA scheme).
