Aerospace Park: Lokesh Has Better Idea Over K’taka

Karnataka government cancelled land acquisition in Devanahalli after meeting up with protesting farmers who refused to part with their lands near Kempe Gowda international airport.

After 1198 days, the Karnataka government came down and gave in to farmers’ demand halting acquisition of 1777 acres of land.

Grabbing the opportunity instantly was Andhra Pradesh government. HRD, IT Minister Nara Lokesh put up a post welcoming the Aerospace industry for talks after seeing a news item regarding the cancellation of deal.

Lokesh posted on X – Dear Aerospace industry, sorry to hear about this. I have a better idea for you. Why don’t you look at Andhra Pradesh instead?

We have an attractive aerospace policy for you, with best-in-class incentives and over 8000 acres of ready-to-use land (Just outside Bengaluru)! Hope to see you soon to talk across the table.

This is yet another classic example of Andhra Pradesh government’s ease of doing business and speed of doing business.

Aerospace Park is where aerospace companies and study centers work together. It will have the technology and tools to make things for Indian aerospace industry.
