Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has fast-tracked efforts to establish India’s first Quantum Valley Park in Amaravati, aiming to make it operational by January 2026. The state government ratified three major memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with global tech leaders IBM, TCS, and L&T to bring this ambitious project to life. He envisions Amaravati as a world-class capital and a global hub for quantum computing, drawing inspiration from his success with Hyderabad’s HITEC City.

The project will feature IBM’s powerful 156-qubit Quantum System Two, the most advanced quantum computer to be deployed in India. IBM will also offer research, training, and ecosystem support. TCS is set to develop quantum solutions for sectors like healthcare, finance, and manufacturing, and foster talent through academic collaborations. L&T will contribute its engineering and project management expertise, helping attract startups via its expansive client network.

The CM has directed the simultaneous development of the main facility and its innovation ecosystem, backed by two dedicated committees. With strategic collaborations already underway, including with IIT Madras, the initiative marks a significant step toward quantum innovation in India.
