Quantum computing presents a transformative opportunity for industrial economies. This paper analyses the strategic opportunity for Indian industry--focusing on Andhra Pradesh under the 'Viksit Andhra 2047' roadmap--to harness quantum technologies for economic growth, competitiveness and resilience. Using comparative case studies from the United States, China and the European Union, sectoral deep-dives (pharmaceuticals, agriculture/logistics, financial services, and energy/climate), and applied economic projections, the article maps policy, institutional and investment pathways to unlock quantum-driven value. Key recommendations cover the establishment of quantum industrial zones, workforce development, public-private partnerships, and phased investment milestones. Empirical projections suggest that targeted quantum adoption across priority sectors could contribute an incremental 2-4% to Andhra Pradesh GSDP by 2035 and create 80,000-150,000 direct and indirect jobs by 2035 under a proactive policy stance.
