Visakhapatnam node (Nakkapalli / Rambilli)
The Visakhapatnam node is being built around the AP Bulk Drug Park at Nakkapalli (~2,001 acres, ₹1,876.66 cr sanction), whose foundation stone the Prime Minister laid in January 2025, plus the Rambilli cluster. It is a common-infrastructure pharma-and-chemicals zone funded under ADB Tranche-2 — trunk works under way.

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. The Bulk Drug Park is a shared-infrastructure pharma zone rather than a single-anchor site, so tenant allotment follows the common facilities; no individual companies are publicly committed yet as of early 2025.
