Aerospace turf war: Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka lock horns
Business Standard
|July 17, 2025
Two southern Indian states—Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh—are locked in a public face-off to attract aerospace investment, at a time when the sector is projected to double in value in India, from $27.1 billion today to $54.4 billion by 2033.
The social media contest started after Karnataka on Tuesday dropped its plan to acquire 1,777 acres of farmland in 13 villages of Devanahalli, near Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport, for a proposed aerospace park.
The decision followed 1,198 days of sustained protests by local farmers.
Wasting no time, Andhra Pradesh's Human Resources Minister Nara Lokesh, also son of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, publicly invited aerospace companies to consider shifting operations to his state.
In a direct appeal to aerospace investors on X, Lokesh posted: "Dear Aerospace industry, sorry to hear about this. I have a better idea for you. Why don't you look at Andhra Pradesh instead?"
