Srikakulam Will Be Home to India’s First AI Aqua Park

Srikalalum which is often looked down for being one of the most backward district of Andhra Pradesh, now gets the spotlight again not for any negative things this time but for a new massive investment into the district through Kings Infra Ventures where India’s first AI-driven Maritime Aquaculture Technology Park is being set up.

The MoU was signed between the AP Government and Kings Infra Ventures with an investment of ₹2,500 crore, Mega park will come up in 500 acres at Srikakulam, creating thousands of jobs and putting the district on the global aquaculture map.

The project will generate 1,500 direct jobs and nearly 10,000 indirect jobs, which is a huge boost for the youth in Uttarandhra where fishing is the major economic activity of the people. Not just by jobs, the project would be aiming to become more economically beneficial by ₹2,000 crore in annual direct exports and nearly ₹20,000 crore indirectly once the project gets started working. On top of that the park will also have a Aquaculture Skill & Innovation Centre, which will train and certify 5,000 local youth over five years. This is expected to transform the district into a talent hub for aquaculture professionals.

This is the first of its kind park in India that is built on modern and tech-based aqua farming. The park will have modern fish and shrimp breeding units, indoor water-farming sheds, tank-based growing systems, big processing centres, a seafood products lab and even a smart control room run by AI to manage everything smoothly. All of this will run on Kings Infra’s own BlueTechOS AI system, operated from Vizag.

In this regard, the government has already instructed the Srikakulam District Collector to identify land quickly so that work can begin immediately. 

This is quite a big move for Srikakulam that was often overlooked in the past, is finally getting its well-deserved moment that is the need of the local people too who have been relying on fishing over the years. In April 2025, CBN launched a scheme called Matsyakara Seva (Fishermen’s Welfare) Scheme in the Etcherla Constituency of Sikaklalum where he promised that just financial assistance shall be provided by the government but even skill centres and an aquaculture park would be set up that would support these fishermen and industry and now, just within 6 months, the promise is fulfilled in the name of KIngs Infra aquaculture park.
