A Platform Built on Global Connectivity
At the core of Bhogapuram Aerocity lies the upcoming Visakhapatnam International Airport, developed and operated by GMR Group under a public–private partnership model. The airport is not positioned merely as a transportation asset, but as the primary catalyst for economic activity, industrial clustering, and regional integration.
Globally, airport-anchored ecosystems have demonstrated their ability to reshape regions by enabling trade, accelerating innovation, and attracting high-value industries. Bhogapuram Aerocity builds on this global precedent while responding to India’s specific opportunity in aerospace manufacturing, defence production, MRO, logistics, and knowledge-driven services.
The Aerocity’s planning framework ensures that aviation infrastructure, industrial zones, commercial districts, education clusters, and residential communities evolve in an integrated manner, avoiding fragmentation and enabling long-term scalability.

The Group focuses on developing assets that generate sustained economic value, institutional trust, and national impact, moving beyond transactional development toward stewardship of critical infrastructure systems.
This philosophy underpins the conception and execution of Bhogapuram Aerocity.
