Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone and dedicates to the nation multiple development projects worth around Rs. 13,430 crore in Andhra Pradesh’s Kurnool.
While addressing a gathering, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “Andhra Pradesh is becoming a major hub for the success of self-reliant India. Congress governments have harmed the entire country by neglecting the capabilities of Andhra Pradesh. The state, which could have led the entire country forward, has found itself struggling for its own development. I am pleased that the image of Andhra Pradesh has changed under the NDA government. Under Chandrababu Naidu’s leadership, Andhra Pradesh is becoming a new force for self-reliant India. Manufacturing is growing rapidly in Andhra. The inauguration of the Advanced Night Vision Factory in Nimmaluru is another step towards achieving self-reliance in the defence sector. This factory will enhance India’s ability to manufacture night vision devices, missile sensors, and drone guard systems. The equipment manufactured here will also elevate India’s defence exports, and we have already witnessed the power of Indian-made products in Operation Sindoor. I am delighted that the Andhra Pradesh government has resolved to make Kurnool India’s drone hub. The drone industry will foster the development of many new sectors related to futuristic technology in Kurnool and Andhra. I just mentioned the brilliance of drones in Operation Sindoor, which has astonished the world. In the future, Kurnool is poised to become a national power in the drone sector.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “Just two days ago, Google announced a major investment in Andhra Pradesh. Google is going to build India’s first artificial intelligence hub here in our Andhra Pradesh. Yesterday, when I was talking to the CEO of Google, he told me that we have investments in many countries around the world outside the US. But now we are going to make the largest investment in Andhra Pradesh. This new AI Hub includes powerful AI infrastructure, data center capacity, large-scale energy sources, and expanded fiber-optic network. A new international subsea gateway will be built. This will include several international subsea cables, which will reach Visakhapatnam on India’s eastern coast. This project will establish Visakhapatnam as an AI and connectivity hub. It will serve not only India but the entire world. I extend special congratulations to the people of Andhra Pradesh for this and highly commend Chandrababu Naidu for his vision.”
