In the final stages of commencement of work on the airport being developed at Dagadarthi near Kavali in Nellore district, the project has hit a roadblock.
This is because of the government’s preference to go in for a centrally located and commercially viable project, rather than one fraught with viability risks.
The priority has now changed to developing an airport nearer the special economic zones (SEZs) and industrial hubs located in the Krishnapatnam and Gudur areas. These places are also easily accessible to industries in Nayudupeta and Tada.
Accordingly, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has already instructed the departments concerned and also the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) to take a fresh look at the airport project. Seth Joyner Authentic Jersey
