Visakhapatnam As An Investment Destination
There are several smart enterpreneurs in Visakhapatnam. There are many developed industrial areas and several large industries with a need for hi-tech products. With high levels of sustained organic growth, Visakhapatnam the largest industrial port city in India is an obvious destination for investments.
Accelerating Opportunity
With a special focus on growing Visakhapatnam from a good city to a smart city, both the central government and state government are solidly behind transforming Visakhapatnam into a leading city in the asia pacific region. In fact, the city of Visakhapatnam has recently sent an EOI to the Mayor of Brisbane to bid for APCS (Asia Pacific City Summit) 2017.
Incentives From State and Central Governments
In the finance bill of 2015-2016, India's finance minister has committed a 30% investment allowance for new investments in Visakhapatnam (actually in Andhra Pradesh state) along with additional depreciation of 15%. Available growing markets, existing and present SMBs, national and international support and world class living make Visakhapatnam the best destination for any global investor - imagine the opportunity before the existing investors of Visakhapatnam ?
