Andhra CM to Lay Foundation for Hero's ₹750 Crore Parts Centre

On July 3, Naidu will inaugurate the Rayalaseema Steel Plant works at Sunnapurallapalle in Kadapa district. He will then spend the final leg of his tour in Kuppam, his home constituency, from July 3 to 5. The schedule includes inaugurations and foundation stones for several development projects.

A global parts centre of this size is a capital-intensive project. For Hero, a well-run spare parts network can reduce logistics costs per unit as volume scales. Faster parts delivery also supports dealer service in rural India, where the company holds a strong position. The investment builds infrastructure that could serve export markets in Africa and Latin America.

The broader tour signals the state government's push to facilitate large industrial projects. The presence of NITI Aayog and the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council at the GSDP workshop points to coordination between state and national development frameworks. The steel plant foundation in Kadapa and the parts centre at Sri City are two examples of capital spending in the region.

Naidu will return to Amaravati on July 5, the release added.
