Andhra Pradesh Industries and Information Technology Minister Mekapati Goutham Reddy died of cardiac arrest in Hyderabad in the early hours of Monday, his close aide said.
He was 50 and is survived by wife, a daughter and a son.
Goutham Reddy returned to Hyderabad a couple of days ago after spending 10 days in Dubai, where the AP Industries Department set up a stall in the ongoing Dubai Expo to attract investments into the state.
He was the son of ex-MP Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy.
A statement from Apollo Hospitals said Goutham Reddy was brought in in an emergency at 7.45am after he collapsed at home.
"He was unresponsive, not breathing and in cardiac arrest on arrival. He received immediate CPR and advanced cardiac life support in our emergency department. CPR was done for more than 90 minutes. Despite our best efforts he could not be revived," the hospital statement said.
