Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The drought challenges the state's economic stability, as inadequate inflows into the Krishna River have affected reservoir levels at Srisailam and Nagarjuna Sagar. Despite the crisis, Andhra Pradesh recorded 10.7 per cent economic growth in Q2 2025-26, with agriculture leading at 13.5 per cent. Officials are working to ensure economic output does not decline and to prevent price increases for consumers.
