Kopparthy Electronics Node (YSR EMC)
An operating electronics cluster ~160 km straight-line from the nearest port and ~190 km from an international cargo airport — inland economics for an import-heavy industry.
Techadyant indicators
Scores are shown only when evidenced inputs cover at least 70% of the weight; otherwise they read Insufficient Data.
Requirement profile: electronics assembly.
Supplier gap and localisation feasibility depend on the SCCS supplier mapping; demand ramp is only partly sourced.
Export relevance and graph centrality are not yet computed consistently across nodes; four-node rankings would be false precision.
Strategic overview
The 801-acre YSR Electronic Manufacturing Cluster was sanctioned under MeitY’s EMC 2.0 at ₹730 crore and sits inside APIIC’s wider Kopparthy holding on the Visakhapatnam–Chennai Industrial Corridor. By September 2025 TechnoDom India (LED TVs), Texana World (garments) and AIL Dixon Technologies (surveillance and laptops) were operating.
The node is on NH-40/NH-67/NH-716, about 5 km from Krishnapuram station on the Chennai–Mumbai line and from Kadapa’s domestic airport. The nearest port, Krishnapatnam, is about 160 km straight-line (≈256 km by road as reported), and the nearest international cargo airport is Bengaluru, about 190 km away.
Techadyant’s reading: Kopparthy has moved from plan to production, but every imported component crosses 150–250 km of road. That favours products with high local value-add and creates a case for an inland container depot or air-cargo feeder service.

Connectivity gaps
Connectivity Gap Index — requirement profile: electronics assembly. High = larger gap between what the anchor industry needs and what exists.

CGI — requirement assessment
| Component | Weight | Value | Confidence | Basis |
