The Chief Minister also instructed the department to establish a dedicated Metal Industry Cluster in North Andhra, particularly benefitting industries emerging in Visakhapatnam. Chandrababu Naidu further highlighted the industrial potential of minerals available in Andhra Pradesh—including limestone, beach sand, iron ore, quartz, silica sand, manganese, clay, and granite—and directed officials to map industries suitable for each mineral. He stressed promoting sectors like solar panel manufacturing, ferro alloys, titanium products, polished granite, and steel production to increase revenue and employment.

He also suggested exploring production-linked incentives in coordination with the central government.
