Andhra Pradesh Achieves 10.7% Q2 Growth Amid El Niño Challenges

Andhra Pradesh reported a 10.7% rise in its gross domestic product for Q2 of the 2025‑26 fiscal year, according to data released by the state’s statistical department. The growth rate eclipsed expectations, as the region faced the typical dry spell and reduced rainfall associated with the El Niño weather pattern. Analysts noted that the state’s manufacturing and service sectors displayed resilience, offsetting the downturn in agriculture. State officials praised the performance, citing effective policy measures and investment incentives as key drivers of the robust growth.
