Andhra Pradesh’s space ecosystem is anchored by Sriharikota, the EDB says in a social media post
The AP Economic Development Board (AP - EDB) is encouraging potential investors to look into the space sector opportunities available in Andhra Pradesh at the upcoming 31st CII Partnership Summit-2026, set to take place in Visakhapatnam on November 12 and 13. In a social media update, the EDB highlighted Andhra Pradesh's robust space ecosystem, anchored by Sriharikota, which houses the Satish Dhawan Space Centre – India's sole operational spaceport with more than 90 successful launches to date.
The State of Andhra Pradesh is set to establish two dedicated Space Cities as part of its Space Policy 4.0. The first, located in Tirupati district, will focus on manufacturing, integration, and launch logistics. The second, situated in Sri Sathya Sai district, aims to become a hub for design, development, and research. Additionally, the EDB pointed out that the State has identified several new industrial clusters in Anantapur, Chittoor, and Nellore, which will provide opportunities in precision engineering, electronics, component manufacturing, and emerging space applications.
