500 Acres of Blue Innovation: Kings Infra and Andhra Pradesh Gov Team Up for India’s Smart Seafood Future

₹2,500 crore aquaculture tech park near Srikakulam to generate 11,500 jobs and boost seafood exports by ₹22,000 crore

Kings Infra Ventures Ltd. has signed a landmark MoU with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to develop a ₹2,500 crore, 500-acre Integrated Aquaculture Technology Park near Srikakulam. Backed by direct government support and single-window clearance, the project is designed to position Andhra Pradesh as a global hub for sustainable, AI-driven seafood production.

The park will feature indoor hatcheries, multi-species farming units, automated feeding systems, processing lines, and a dedicated marine bio-actives division. It will be digitally managed through BlueTechOS, Kings Infra’s proprietary AI platform offering real-time analytics and predictive farm management. Phase I operations will begin after land identification and approvals, led by the District Collector of Srikakulam.

The project is expected to generate 1,500 direct and 10,000 indirect jobs while enabling ₹2,000 crore in direct seafood exports and ₹20,000 crore in indirect exports from the third year onwards. A key highlight is the Aquaculture Skill & Innovation Centre, which will train 5,000 professionals in modern aquaculture methods including IoT-enabled tanks and recirculatory systems.

With an investment of ₹500 crore from Kings Infra and its partners in core infrastructure and ₹2,000 crore projected from ancillary industries and MSMEs, the park reflects a strong public-private model. The initiative is aligned with Andhra Pradesh’s Vision 2030 of “One Entrepreneur in Every Household” and the broader goal of unlocking India’s blue economy through sustainable growth.

Kings Infra aims to culture species such as shrimp, seabass, grouper, tilapia, and mud crab, alongside a marine nutraceutical unit producing bioactives like astaxanthin and Omega-3 oils. The company is also exploring global partnerships with CMFRI, RGCA, FSI, and universities for R&D and capacity building.

This will be India’s first fully AI-driven aquaculture park and is expected to create a replicable model for the country’s future seafood infrastructure.
