To achieve the above objective, APIIC has identified land parcel for the development of industrial Park (IP) at Rambilli which will be a part of Visakhapatnam – Chennai Industrial Corridor (VCIC). APIIC identified around 1025 Ha (2532 acres) of Land at Rambilli Mandal within Visakhapatnam district for the purpose of industrialisation. APIIC intends to provide world class eco system for manufacturing industries and proposes to establish infrastructure facilities for the proposed industrial Park. The processing area includes manufacturing zone for different manufacturing industries and service industry selected based on the market and demand assessment study undertaken. The infrastructure development being proposed includes water supply, water distribution, internal roads, storm water drains, electrical distribution network, internal street lighting, wastewater and waste management facilities, other utilities such as technical and support buildings, housing along with allied facilities. Apart from industrial area there will be technical infrastructure facilities, amenities & utilities, township and logistics facilities. 2 Project Site Project land is falling in Z. Chintuva, Gorapudi, Krishnampalem and Lalamkoduru villages in Rambilli Mandal of Visakhapatnam district in Andhra Pradesh. The existing terrain of the entire project site is relatively flat and gentle sloping towards the Bay of Bengal. This Project site falls between Latitude 17°27'37.52" N to 17°30'19.34" N and Longitude 82°56'0.39" E to 82°59'22.95" E and existing ground elevation is ranging from 0m to 55 m. The existing terrain of the project site is relatively flat and gentle sloping towards the Bay of Bengal. The project site and part of the study area is covered in the Survey of India Toposheet no.65K/15 and 65K/14. Location map of the project site is given as FD0101 and Photographs of the project site are presented in Exhibit 1 to Exhibit 4.

VCIC is aligned with the Golden Quadrilateral and is poised to play a critical role in driving India’s “Act East Policy.” VCIC’s long coastline and strategically located ports provide it with an opportunity to create multiple international gateways to connect India with the vibrant global production networks of South East and East Asia that form the bedrock of global manufacturing today. Visakhapatnam node is one of the important nodes in VCIC. There are two sites identified in Visakhapatnam node (1) Rambilli site (2) Nakkapalli site. Andhra Pradesh is strategically located on the south eastern coast of India and is regarded as one of the largest producer of marine products in the country. The prominent industries in the state include Agro & Food–based, petroleum products, pharmaceuticals, textile, basic metals, non–metallic mineral products, etc. Further, the state in the country has pioneered and enacted the concept of industrial single–window clearance. The policy seeks to create an investor–friendly climate by ensuring highest ease of doing business and would provide all the clearances within 21 working days. Further, the state also promises for 24 hours of uninterrupted power supply to investors setting up units. 4 Project Description 4.1 Proposed Project The salient features of proposed IP are given in Table 1.
