The Visit and Public Meeting:

The Prime Minister will arrive at INS Dega in Visakhapatnam at 3:40 PM on the 29th. From there, he will embark on a 500-meter roadshow from Tycoon Junction to SP Bungalow. The visit will culminate in a public meeting at the Andhra University College Ground, where Modi will address the people of Andhra Pradesh and lay the foundation stones for several pivotal projects.

Key Projects and Announcements:

During his visit, Modi will lay the foundation for two major projects in the region:

1. NTPC Green Hydrogen Hub: The NTPC Green Hydrogen Hub at Pudimadaka in Achyutapuram mandal (Anakapalli district) is a massive initiative, with an estimated investment of around 85,000 crores. This project is expected to create approximately 25,000 jobs and significantly enhance the region’s economic profile, further solidifying Visakhapatnam’s standing as a growth hub.
2. Visakhapatnam Railway Zone: One of the long-standing demands of the people of Andhra Pradesh, the Visakhapatnam Railway Zone, will also see significant progress. Though Visakhapatnam was designated as a railway zone in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, no steps were taken towards its establishment post-partition. However, with the formation of the coalition government, the process gained momentum. Prime Minister Modi will lay the foundation stone for the railway zone, fulfilling a decade-old promise and addressing a major grievance of the state’s people.

Political and Regional Impact:

The Prime Minister’s visit holds political significance as well, with prominent leaders including Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, and other alliance ministers expected to attend. The event is anticipated to highlight issues like the privatization of the steel plant, the railway zone, and other important state projects.

Security Arrangements:

Given the significance of the visit, heavy security measures are being put in place. Nara Lokesh is overseeing the security arrangements, and Visakhapatnam district authorities have been put on high alert. The Visakhapatnam Collector has already inspected the preparation with public representatives and officials to ensure the event goes smoothly.

The visit, marking a new chapter in the state’s development, is generating widespread anticipation. Modi’s address is expected to touch upon various key issues crucial to the state’s future, solidifying his connection with the people of Andhra Pradesh.

During a meeting with the industries department, Naidu assessed past investment agreements spanning a decade and instructed officials to create five new policies aimed at attracting fresh investments.

Naidu highlighted that his prior administration had secured investment commitments totaling 16 lakh crore. He expressed concerns that businesses had withdrawn from agreements due to what he perceived as unfavorable policies enacted by the YSRC government.

In efforts to rebuild trust with industrialists, Naidu tasked officials with outlining plans for establishing four new industrial clusters and emphasized the need to draw electronics, pharmaceutical, food processing, and hardware companies to these zones.

Additionally, Naidu scrutinized the progress of key industrial projects, including the bulk drug park in Nakkapalli and the NTPC Green Hydrogen Hub. He urged a reduction in land prices within the Mallavalli Industrial Area to stimulate investment.

Noting a shortfall in the establishment of industrial parks between 2019 and 2024 compared to the previous years, Naidu directed officials to re-engage with companies that had retracted agreements due to the YSRC government’s policies.

Furthermore, in a unique gesture, Oligalu, a local festive delicacy, is being prepared by around 300 households in Gundumala gram panchayat to honor Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu during his visit for social welfare activities and community interactions. The day has been dubbed Chandranna Panduga, with residents enthusiastically preparing Oligalu since the previous night in anticipation of the special occasion.
