ANDHRA PRADESH CHIEF minister N Chandrababu Naidu sought Defence minister Rajnath Singh's support to transform the state into an aerospace, defence industries hub.

- AMARAVATI/NEW DELHI, May 25

Naidu, during his recent meeting with Rajnath Singh, gave a wish list of half a dozen projects, requesting him to mobilise defence public sector undertakings (DPSU) investments and set up an air force station.

Similar to Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu defence corridors, the CM also requested Singh to notify five hubs with the potential to develop into aerospace and defence industries.

"Request formal recognition for the hubs by the Central government to promote investments," a press release issued on Sunday, quotes the CM as saying.

The five hubs proposed by him include Jaggaiahpet-Donakonda Hub (6,000 acres), Lepakshi-Madaksira Hub (10,000 acres), Visakhapatnam-Anakapalli Hub (3,000 acres), Kurnool-Orvakal Hub (4,000 acres) and Tirupati as the fifth hub.
