The incident occurred around 1600 local time when Mr Naidu was travelling in a large convoy heading to the famous Lord Venkateshwara temple in the Tirumala hills.
The police say they suspect that the outlawed People’s War Group (PWG) was behind the attack.
Senior police official SR Sukumara said claymore mines were triggered by remote control as Mr Naidu’s bullet-proof white Ambassador car passed by.
Claymore mines carry a small charge packed behind hundreds of steel balls. On detonation, the balls shoot forwards and are likely to kill anyone in their path.
They are considered ideal weapons for ambushes.
Activists of Mr Naidu’s regional Telugu Desam party took to the streets of Tirupati, smashing windscreens of buses in protest at the assassination attempt.
