Civil Aviation Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu has said, Andhra Pradesh is steadily positioning itself as a global destination by converting its regional disadvantages into strengths, particularly in Northern Andhra.
He was speaking at the CII Swarna Andhra Pradesh Conference held in Visakhapatnam today. The Union Minister credited Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for providing long-term vision-driven leadership, noting that earlier initiatives like Vision 2020 had laid the groundwork for current development.
He said the state now has favourable conditions to achieve the Swarna Andhra 2047 goals, supported by strong Centre-State coordination.
Highlighting infrastructure as a growth driver, the Union Minister said investments in national highways, ports, and airports are improving connectivity across regions. He added that the state aims to ensure airport access within two hours for all citizens while expanding port infrastructure from Srikakulam to Nellore. He also pointed to emerging sectors such as drone technology and IT as new growth engines.
