Amaravati to emerge as quantum computing hub with 250-acre manufacturing facility: CM Naidu
Describing Amaravati Quantum Valley as the first such initiative in South Asia, he said it would be inaugurated on February 3, 2027.
Quantum equipment would also be manufactured under the ‘Made in Amaravati’ brand, he added.
Addressing the inaugural session of the 31st CII Partnership Summit 2026 here, Naidu said a dedicated Drone City was being developed to manufacture drones for civilian and defence applications.
Drones were already being used to deliver medicines to remote areas, he said.
The state was targeting investments of Rs. 30,000 crore in food processing and allied industries, while Tirupati would be developed as a global semiconductor chip design hub, he said.
Highlighting infrastructure development, Naidu said Andhra Pradesh had six operational ports with an annual cargo-handling capacity of 346 million tonnes, which handled 209 million tonnes during 2025-26.
Four new ports were expected to add another 108 million tonnes to the state’s annual cargo-handling capacity, he said.
The state had six airports with a combined annual passenger-handling capacity of 1.55 crore, while nine greenfield airports were planned. Bhogapuram, Amaravati and Tirupati would be developed as major aviation hubs, he said.
Referring to the proposed high-speed rail corridors spanning 839 km and a railway connectivity plan covering 4,415 km, Naidu said Andhra Pradesh was steadily emerging as a major logistics destination.
