Andhra Pradesh launches Quantum Valley as India steps into quantum technology race

The state of Andhra Pradesh unveiled plans to create a specialised "Quantum Valley" aimed at fostering research, development and commercialisation of quantum technologies. Officials said the hub will bring together universities, research institutes and start‑ups under one ecosystem to accelerate innovation in quantum computing, communication and sensing.

The initiative is presented as a milestone for India, signalling the country’s intent to compete with global leaders in the emerging quantum sector. State authorities intend to provide infrastructure, policy support and incentives to attract domestic and foreign talent.

While detailed timelines and funding allocations have not been disclosed, the project is expected to complement national efforts to build a quantum workforce and strengthen India’s position in the international technology race.
