Vizag PCPIR stuck in limbo due to gaps in execution: NITI report
Visakhapatnam: Launched in 2007, Petroleum, Chemicals, and Petrochemicals Investment Regions (PCPIRs) are designated industrial zones aimed at driving petrochemical production through focused investment and infrastructure development. The Union govt approved four PCPIRs in Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), Dahej (Gujarat), Paradip (Odisha), and Cuddalore-Nagapattinam (Tamil Nadu). Despite being envisioned nearly two decades ago, the proposed PCPIR between Kakinada and Visakhapatnam remains unrealised. Spanning 640 square kilometres, its draft master plan projected 43,744 crore in investments and large-scale job creation—but momentum has stalled amid tepid investor interest. Key infrastructure, including LNG terminals at Kakinada and Gangavaram ports and a utility centre at APSEZ, as yet to take shape. A NITI Aayog report, released a few weeks ago, has highlighted the gaps in the execution of Andhra Pradesh's PCPIR project. Despite its strategic coastal location, the region lacks a finalised anchor tenant and faces significant challenges in land acquisition, regulatory clearances, and logistical support. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC), the nodal agency managing the chemical hub's implementation, also oversees a range of industries, diluting its focus on developing the chemical hub specifically. According to the NITI Aayog report, the Visakhapatnam-Kakinada hub has attracted investments worth 20,000 crore, whereas the PCPIR in Gujarat attracted over 1.2 lakh crore. "Strengthening infrastructure and regulatory processes, as well as securing anchor tenants, will be essential for realising the region's full potential. Critical areas still need attention to fully unlock the PCPIR's promise. To maintain global competitiveness, the region must improve infrastructure, streamline regulatory processes, prioritise sectoral growth, and address environmental and community concerns," said the NITI Aayog report. In response to these challenges, the Andhra Pradesh govt has recently decided to update the master plan for the Visakhapatnam-Kakinada PCPIR and appointed an agency to undertake this task. This agency will also be responsible for preparing a perspective plan and a zonal development plan. Furthermore, in 2021, the state govt replaced the then-existing Visakhapatnam-Kakinada PCPIR Special Development Authority with the VK-PCPIR Urban Development Authority (UDA) through an official gazette notification. The inclusion of new villages expanded the VK-PCPIR UDA to cover a total area of 640 square kilometres, spanning seven mandals in Visakhapatnam district and three in Kakinada district. The new entity now encompasses 10 revenue mandals and 97 villages, stretching from Kurada village in Visakhapatnam district to Vakalapudi in Kakinada. Officials from the Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) said that meetings will be held with stakeholders in key areas within the VK-PCPIR UDA, and their suggestions will be incorporated into the updated master plan. PCPIRs across the country are designed to promote investments in the petroleum, chemicals, and petrochemical industries. These regions may include one or more special economic zones (SEZs), industrial parks, free trade and warehousing zones, export-oriented units, and growth centres.
