On 6th February 2026, NITI Aayog unveiled a draft blueprint to transform Andhra Pradesh into one of India’s top three renewable energy hubs by 2035 under the ASSET (Accelerating Sustainable State Energy Transition) platform.

• The blueprint proposes investments worth ₹3.3–₹3.4 lakh crore for energy transition and ₹4–₹4.2 lakh crore for building a renewable energy export hub, totalling about ₹7.5 lakh crore.
• Around 90% of the investment is expected from private players, with potential to generate 5–6 lakh jobs.
• The primary objective is to ensure reliable, affordable and clean electricity for all consumers.
• Currently, 47% of Andhra Pradesh’s power generation comes from renewables.
• By 2035, the State aims to add 35 GW solar, 12 GW wind and 55–60 GWh storage capacity for domestic use.
• For export purposes, targets include 30 GW solar, 25–30 GW wind and 10–12 GW pumped storage projects.
• Power purchase costs are projected to fall to ₹3.90–₹4 per unit, with supply costs expected to remain below ₹6 per unit, benefiting households, farmers and industries.
