Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday impressed upon the investors that his administration will roll out a red carpet for them to set up their businesses in the state.

While launching the Hero Motors plant project in Chittoor district, he highlighted the differences between his administration and the rest and said the AP government will assist anyone who shows interest in investing in the state.

"Anybody can call me with their problems and I will try best to assist that person and company," he said at the event.

Welcoming the investment from Hero Motors in the state, Naidu said, "It's the world largest manufacturer of two wheelers, with a market cap of over Rs. 69,000 crore. They have many plants in India and today in Sri city, this is their eighth plant."

He also added that he wants to make Sri city an automobile hub.

"Indian market is going to change. Electrical market should also be produced here in Sri city. This is the cluster we are thinking and this the hub we want to create," he said.
