Andhra Pradesh CM Naidu plans to bring Investment Protection Act before state assembly
Law will make land deals, factory permits, incentive promises legally locked so future governments cannot cancel them. This matters because AP foreign investment fell from $609m to $92m under previous regime that ran reverse tendering on every big project
Polavaram dam sat idle five years over political fights. India paid $305m settling Dabhol after Maharashtra cancelled one power deal post elections. No state tried fixing this through law, which makes no sense
Naidu’s proposed Investment Protection Act in Andhra Pradesh tackles one of India oldest investor problems. New state governments routinely cancel predecessor deals, and nobody questions this pattern. West Bengal threw out 30 years of industrial incentives under TMC.
Previous AP regime stopped Amaravati, pushed out Lulu Group, cancelled clean energy contracts worth billions. Goldman Sachs, SoftBank, Brookfield had money in AP and watched deals get reopened, which was careless
Centre tried similar protection law in 2020, dropped it without any follow up. AP is now doing what Centre refused to
Andhra Pradesh wants to pass Investment Protection Act that locks in deals for investors across political cycles But Indian law lets any state assembly change or remove acts made by previous assembly. Supreme Court in March 2026 said Maharashtra could change industrial policy even after 25 years.
So no future AP government is legally forced to keep this act. Investors still want it because visible political cost on reversal matters more than legal promise.
Right now cancelling deals costs nothing in Indian states, which is why so many do it
This is big!! So, what is CGFMU?
CGFMU provides a government-backed guarantee to banks and financial institutions (FIs) for eligible loans given to micro enterprises.
If a borrower defaults, the guarantee fund compensates the lender for a specified portion of the eligible loss. This reduces the risk for lenders and encourages them to extend loans without insisting on collateral.
Ultimately, it improves access to institutional finance for small entrepreneurs and businesses. Has it been a success? There is tangible evidence for that. Just one example here:
This disclosure by IDFC First Bank in May 2026... They "received ~Rs 515 crores" and ~100% of the claim. They also said 97% of their news loans were covered under CGFMU scheme.
This is now being used by most Banks and SFBs. The continuation is welcome. After a slow start this has been successful.
