Naidu unveils ambitious plan for Quantum Valley Tech Park

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has called for seizing the transformative opportunities of quantum computing, announcing the establishment of India’s first Quantum Valley Tech Park in Amaravati, set to be operational by January 1, 2026.

Speaking at the Amaravati Quantum Valley Workshop-2025, organized in collaboration with global tech giants IBM, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and Larsen & Toubro (L&T), Naidu emphasized the state’s vision to lead the global quantum revolution.

The Quantum Valley Tech Park will be anchored by IBM’s Quantum System Two, featuring a 156-qubit Heron processor, making it India’s most powerful quantum computer. TCS will partner with IBM to develop cutting-edge quantum algorithms and applications targeting sectors like life sciences, materials science, cryptography, and sustainable manufacturing, aiming to address complex national challenges.

 L&T will spearhead the construction of the state-of-the-art facility and its supporting infrastructure, with land already allocated and two dedicated committees formed to fast-track progress.

Naidu highlighted the project’s alignment with India’s National Quantum Mission, which aims to position the country as a global hub for quantum technology. “Quantum computing is the foundation for next-generation governance and innovation. Andhra Pradesh is poised to become the brain capital of the world, creating over 100,000 high-skilled jobs and fostering 50+ unicorns,” he declared.

The initiative has garnered praise from industry leaders. IBM India MD Sandip Patel called it a “defining moment” for India’s quantum journey, while TCS President V. Rajanna emphasized the interdisciplinary and transformative potential of quantum technologies. The project will foster a collaborative ecosystem involving academia, startups, and global partners, with international collaborations already underway with institutions like Purdue University and the University of Tokyo.
