Krishnapatnam (KRIS City)
Krishnapatnam / KRIS City is CBIC’s large coastal bet — an ~11,098-acre greenfield smart industrial city beside Krishnapatnam Port whose foundation stone the Prime Minister laid in January 2025. Phase-1 (~2,500 acres) is in EPC, targeting ~₹10,500 cr of manufacturing investment and ~98,000 jobs, with large plots shaped for port-linked heavy industry.
Industries coming up
Infrastructure & connectivity
- ~11,098-acre greenfield smart city (Phase-1 ~2,500 acres); trunk infrastructure ₹2,139.44 cr (CCEA-approved 2020)
- Targeted manufacturing investment ~₹10,500 cr; Phase-1 plug-and-play by end-2026 / early 2027
- Adjacent to Krishnapatnam Port; NH-16; rail-linked; near Tirupati airport
- Large 100–200-acre plots created for port-linked heavy industry
Incentives & land: AP industrial incentives; port-adjacency for EXIM-oriented manufacturing; PM-dedicated greenfield smart city.
Anchor tenants & demand signals
No anchor tenants or MoUs are publicly recorded yet — at a greenfield IMC, plots are allotted only after trunk infrastructure is built, so the absence of named tenants this early is expected, not a red flag. Sector targeting (textiles, food, auto, electronics, metals, port logistics) is announced and large port-linked plots are being created, but no individual anchor tenant or MoU is on the public record at the node yet — expected at this pre-allotment, EPC stage.
