Pitching for AP with confidence, Naidu, whose government has cost Karnataka a few major projects from other sectors, including one from Hero Corp, said: "Andhra can be a major destination for defence and aerospace industry."
He said that the newly formed state aims to be among the top three in the country by 2020. Stating that the next decade belongs to India he said: "There is renewed optimism on investing in India. "The global community of investors will come here," he said.
If chief minister Siddaramaiah's speech at the inaugural of Aero India leaned heavily on how Bengaluru is already an aerospace hub, Naidu made a case for the newly formed state announcing that a a greenfield "aerotropolis" project in Vizag district spread over 7,500 acres.
Karnataka, which was the first state to have a separate aerospace policy, introduced last year, has been home to some of the best companies and several government agencies and an aerospace SEZ in north Karnataka besides an aerospace park in Bengaluru. But the state may not be able afford laxity.
"We've already received investment proposals from the defence PSUs like BEL, R&D units of DRDO and so on. Our government is also collaborating with the Singapore government to create a master plan for the new capital in the Vijayawada region, and it will have all hi-tech facilities," Naidu said, indicating the response from the industry and also sending a message and that AP is an investor-friendly state.
He said that the government has plans to attract mega projects and industrial parks in the area of defence manufacturing. "This will also include sub-segments of the defence segment like SMEs and component makers," he said, adding that AP plans to companies in the segments of air cargo, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and general aviation.
Stating that the aerospace segment in India (civilian and defence) segment is expected to attract investments over $50 million. "There is also likely to be $250 billion of defence equipment procurement by India in the next decade," he said.
