GMR to Build 500-Acre Aerospace & Mega-MRO Hub in Andhra Pradesh

GMR Group plans to establish a 500-acre integrated aviation and aerospace ecosystem in Andhra Pradesh, adjacent to Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport in Bhogapuram (Vizianagaram district).

Announced by Chairman G M Rao on 12 November, 2026, at the 31st CII Partnership Summit in Visakhapatnam, the hub will anchor one of the world’s largest maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facilities. The project builds upon the surrounding infrastructure of Bhogapuram International Airport—a public-private partnership (PPP) venture by GMR Visakhapatnam International Airport that began commercial operations in August 2026.

Ultimately, the initiative aims to position Bhogapuram as a premier aviation-industrial hub, driving regional investment, job creation, and infrastructure growth across the state.
