Andhra Pradesh pushes for 25 new industrial parks across 25,000 acres

The Andhra Pradesh government is pushing hard to build 25 new industrial parks spread across more than 25,000 acres. This plan was announced at the recent CII Partnership Summit-2026 to turn the State into a global hub for manufacturing, tech, and exports.

Locations and Corridors

The new parks are planned across the North Coastal Andhra, Godavari and Central, Rayalaseema, and South Coast and Tirupati regions. They are linked directly to major trade routes like the Visakhapatnam-Chennai, Chennai-Bengaluru, and Hyderabad-Bengaluru industrial corridors. The largest among them is the AP Space City near Tirupati at 4,918 acres.

Key Sectors

The blueprint includes high-tech projects like gigawatt-scale AI data centers in Anakapalli, backed by heavy investments from ReNew and Blackstone-backed Airtrunk. Space City projects are also coming up around the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota with facilities by Skyroot Aerospace, EtherealX, and AgniKul Cosmos. Other major hubs include an aerospace and defence park in Sri Sathya Sai district, a Quantum Hardware Manufacturing Park in Palnadu district, a Semiconductor Park near Tirupati, and a Rare Earth and Critical Minerals Park in Anakapalli that will make NdFeB magnets. Other large parks over 1,000 acres include an Ammunition Park in Nellore, a Chemical Park in Srikakulam, a Bulk Drug Park at Nakkapalli, a Solar PV Manufacturing Cluster in Prakasam, and a Furniture Park in Nellore.

Support and Incentives

The AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited has promised fast land allotment through a single-desk portal. Businesses will also receive financial perks like power subsidies and net SGST reimbursements.

Context

Industrial corridors are planned regional zones meant to boost manufacturing and trade by connecting ports, production hubs, and major cities with high-speed transport networks. State governments often use tax breaks and fast-tracked land clearances to attract large private firms and foreign investments in high-growth sectors like tech and green energy.
