On May 13, 2025, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu unveiled a plan to develop a port-based economy by utilizing the state’s 1,000-kilometre coastline. The strategy includes establishing ports or fishing harbours every 50 kilometres. Key initiatives encompass building a Ship Building and Repair Cluster at Dugarajapatnam, encompassing 2,000 acres and integrating a greenfield port with ship-building facilities.
