The Andhra Pradesh government is building international collaborations to advance port-led infrastructure development, aiming to position itself as a leading maritime state by 2030 and achieve a $2 trillion economy by 2047. Infrastructure and Investment Secretary S. Suresh Kumar outlined this vision at the Economic Development Cooperation Fund conference hosted by the Export-Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM) in Seoul. His visit includes meetings with South Korean maritime organisations, including Busan Port and Hyundai Industries. Andhra Pradesh is expanding port capacity by 110 million tonnes by 2026, supported by investments of approximately $1.9 billion. The state’s plans also cover shipbuilding, recycling, and industrial zones near ports, with 5,000 acres reserved for development to drive employment and economic growth.
