Kings Infra Ventures Ltd has signed a major agreement with the Andhra Pradesh government to set up Rs 2,500 crore aquaculture technology park near Srikakulam. Spread across 500 acres, the facility will be India’s first AI-driven aquaculture park and aims to make the state a leading center for sustainable, technology-backed seafood production.

The Kerala-based company plans to invest Rs 500 crore in core infrastructure, R&D, and processing units. An additional Rs 2,000 crore is expected to come from ancillary industries, small businesses, and renewable energy partners. The pact was finalized during the recent CII Partnership Summit in Visakhapatnam.

The park will include hatcheries, indoor farming systems, advanced processing lines, and a marine bio-actives division. All operations will be powered by BlueTechOS, Kings Infra’s proprietary AI operating system that will be developed and managed from Visakhapatnam. The project is set to train 5,000 aquaculture professionals over five years and support multi-species farming of shrimp, seabass, grouper, tilapia, and more thus enabling year-round production and export opportunities.

Shaji Baby John, Chairman and Managing Director of Kings Infra Ventures Ltd, said , the new technology park will open new possibilities for the Blue Economy, create large-scale employment, and set new global standards for sustainable food production. Andhra Pradesh MSME Minister Kondapalli Srinivas confirmed that the government will offer single-window clearance for land and approvals to ensure smooth execution.
