Page 3 Project Information Memorandum Selection of Developer for a Convention Centre at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh on PPP basis 1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT REGION Visakhapatnam is the commercial and business hub of the state of Andhra Pradesh. It contributes to 14% of the state GDP, which is the highest amongst all the districts. Visakhapatnam along with the three neighboring districts of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and East Godavari contribute to over 30% of state’s GDP. At present, Visakhapatnam has the only custom airport in the state and also has an international deep draft port. Visakhapatnam is amongst the 3 districts selected for development of an international airport. The State Government has initiated steps to develop Visakhapatnam as a mega city with world class civic infrastructure facilities. The United States of America is keen to develop Visakhapatnam as a smart city and has agreed to be the lead partner in this initiative. The metro-rail project for Visakhapatnam is already at an advanced stage of scrutiny by the Government of India. The Government has also decided to entrust the preparation of Feasibility Studies and Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for Metro rail projects to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). Visakhapatnam has been chosen as the site for a new Indian Institute of Management and many more prestigious institutions at the national and the international level are expected to follow suite. Visakhapatnam as an Industrial hub is home to thriving petrochemical complex and is base for a steel plant which gives fillip to metals and mining sector of the state. Further, the district is the starting point of the Vizag Chennai Industrial Corridor and has been short-listed as a node. This coupled with ITIR will attract investors to the district leading to transformational development in the region. Many IT majors such as WIPRO and Tech Mahindra have evinced their interest in setting up Special Economic Zones and it is also home to manufacturing and R&D facilities of pharmaceutical majors. The district is also endowed with scenic beaches and lies close to Araku Valley Hills and the Buddhist circuit which offer significant tourism
