EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Brief of the VCICDP: 1. ADB supported the preparation of a conceptual development plan (CDP) and a regional perspective plan (RPP) for the VCIC, which included an infrastructure strategy to drive economic growth and the identification of nodes for industrial development, high- potential industrial sectors, and a set of priority projects. The CDP indicated that VCIC, with its long coastline and strategically located ports, provides multiple international gateways to connect India with vibrant global production networks. The proposed Visakhapatnam– Chennai Industrial Corridor Development Program (VCICDP) will complement the ongoing efforts of the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) to enhance industrial growth and create high-quality jobs. The VCICDP comprises: (i) a proposed multi tranche financing facility (MFF), (ii)a proposed policy-based loan (PBL), and (iii)a proposed administration of a grant to be provided by the Urban Climate Change Resilience Trust Fund (UCCRTF) under the Urban Financing Partnership Facility. 2. The proposed investment program will involve development of infrastructure in selected industrial clusters; improve transport infrastructure, such as connectivity of nodes to ports, urban areas, other nodes and critical hinterland areas; develop and improve power infrastructure, such as establishing substations, strengthening of transmission and distribution system; and improving critical urban infrastructure in selected urban areas. VCICDP will complement the on-going efforts of the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) to enhance manufacturing sector growth and create high quality jobs in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The envisaged outputs of VCICDP include: (i) ease of doing business improved; (ii) Visakhapatnam-Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC) infrastructure strengthened; and (iii) institutional capacities and program management strengthened.
