Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday (December 23, 2025) outlined an ambitious, long-term technology and infrastructure roadmap for Andhra Pradesh, announcing that Visakhapatnam is fast emerging as a global hub for data centres, while Amaravati will anchor the State’s knowledge economy as India’s dedicated Quantum Valley.
Addressing students, academics and industry stakeholders during the “Quantum Talk by CM CBN” programme, Mr. Naidu said Visakhapatnam’s strong subsea cable connectivity and digital infrastructure were positioning it as a key node in the global data ecosystem. He added that Tirupati is being developed as a Space City, while regions such as Anantapur and Kadapa will evolve into major electronics and aerospace hubs, creating a distributed yet interconnected innovation network across the State.
Drawing parallels with his IT Vision launched nearly 25 years ago, the Chief Minister said bold policy decisions taken in the past had laid the foundation for the IT revolution in the then undivided Andhra Pradesh. “Just as Silicon Valley shaped the digital age, Amaravati’s Quantum Valley will anchor the knowledge economy of the future,” he said, stressing that scientific thinking and innovation are deeply rooted in India’s civilisational ethos.
