TCS to Establish Campus in Andhra Pradesh, Confirms IT Minister Nara Lokesh

IT Minister Nara Lokesh announced on Thursday that Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has committed to setting up its campus in Andhra Pradesh. “There is no doubt; TCS will establish its campus in the state,” Lokesh affirmed during the Question Hour in the State Assembly.

Lokesh shared that a recent meeting with representatives of IT companies focused on strategies to attract more firms to Andhra Pradesh, emphasizing the state government's commitment to creating five lakh IT jobs over the next five years.

He criticized the previous YSRCP government for neglecting the IT sector and accused it of demanding shares from companies, which deterred them from setting up operations in the state. He pointed out that no IT conclaves were organized during the YSRCP’s tenure, leading to a lack of progress in the sector.

Reiterating the government's dedication to fostering IT growth, Lokesh said efforts are underway to build a robust ecosystem that will make Andhra Pradesh a favorable destination for IT investments.
