The Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) government has given a renewed push for the development of 25 sector-specific Industrial Parks (IPs) spanning over 25,000 acres at the just-concluded CII Partnership Summit-2026 to transform the State into a global manufacturing, technology, and export powerhouse.

These IPs have been strategically planned across North Coastal Andhra, Godavari and Central, Rayalaseema, and South Coast and Tirupati regions and are integrated into the Visakhapatnam - Chennai, Chennai - Bengaluru and Hyderabad - Bengaluru Industrial Corridors.

From AI Data Centers to Space City, the blueprint marks a major leap into a next-generation and deep-tech manufacturing ecosystem.

The most striking projects committed in these IPs are gigawatt-scale data centres in the AI Data Centre Park in Anakapalli, which attracted huge investments by ReNew, and Airtrunk, which is backed by the world’s largest alternative asset management company Blackstone.

The next big ticket investments are lined up in the aerospace and defence sector in Sri Sathya Sai district, and the Space City taking shape around the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota where Skyroot Aerospace, EtherealX and AgniKul Cosmos are setting up their manufacturing facilities.

Other sectoral parks include the Quantum Hardware Manufacturing Park in Palnadu district which will have cleanrooms and cryogenics, Semiconductor Park near Tirupati, and Rare Earth and Critical Minerals Park at Anakapalli.

This IP (the Rare Earth & Critical Minerals Park) will have a monazite-to-magnet chain facility designed for manufacturing of NdFeB (neodymium - iron - boron) magnets, the strongest type of permanent magnets commercialised in diverse sectors.

AP Space City near Tirupati is the largest IP measuring 4,918 acres. The other IPs measuring over 1,000 acres are the Ammunition Park in Nellore district (2,350 acres), Chemical Park in Srikakulam district (2,050 acres), Bulk Drug Park at Nakkapalli (2,002 acres), Solar PV Manufacturing Cluster in Prakasam district (1,037 acres) and Furniture Park in Nellore (1,006 acres).

The AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited has promised speedy land allotments through its single-desk portal, and competitive capital incentives, including net SGST reimbursements and power subsidies.
