The MoUs were inked at the CII partnership Summit held during January 27-28.

Ravindranath Sannareddy, Founder Managing Director, Sri City, in a statement said: “In line with his 'Make in AP' policy, Sri City emerges as one of the most preferred investment destinations, boosting local manufacturing which, in turn, will give a fillip to creation of jobs and get the economy of state and region on a fast track."

“The need of the hour is creating employment in the region. These clients would provide jobs for about 2,000 people," he added.

While Manpasand Beverages invests ₹150 crore, Windar Renewables, a Spanish company, proposes to invest ₹130 crore.
