Impact of AP SEZ & AP PCPIR
on the growth of ATCHUTAPURAM :
Atchuthapuram will surely be the fastest growing region in Vizag due to many reasons. It will become Navi Vizag in the coming 5 years. Its Proximity to AP SEZ & AP PCPIR is the only reason for exponential growth. The employment generation at this place will be around 12 lakhs in 5-7 years time, and the private investment flow will be more than 3 lakh crores (Projections prepared by department of Economic Affairs, Govt of India).
The impact of APSEZ and APPCPIR (600 sq.km) on Atchuthapuram region development is going to be unimaginable over a period of time. Out of the world's great SEZs, AP SEZ is going to be the No. 2, next to China’s SHEN ZHEN SEZ. The Govt of India scanctioned 3 PCPIRs in India i.e, Gujarat, West Bengal and AP,. Of these three, AP PCPIR is the biggest one with Government Investment of around Rs.3.75 lakh Crores.
