The Government of Andhra Pradesh has approved a series of quantum technology projects under its Quantum Computing Policy 2025–30, strengthening the state’s ambition to emerge as a national hub for advanced quantum research and commercial applications. The approvals cover seven companies planning to establish offices, laboratories and manufacturing facilities at Amaravati Quantum Valley.
The cleared proposals include projects from Qclairvoyance Quantum Labs, Centella Scientific, Cybranex Technologies and Consultancy, Qubitech Smart Solutions, FortyTwo42 Technology Innovations, Nostradamus Technologies and QpiAI India. The initiatives span a wide spectrum of quantum use cases, including quantum programming and application development, hardware manufacturing, post-quantum cybersecurity, quantum drug discovery, education and startup incubation.
As part of the approvals, the companies will be eligible for incentives in line with departmental recommendations, with total benefits capped at 75% of their respective capital investments. Office space will be allotted based on actual requirements, generally limited to 100 square feet per deployed employee, while select projects have also received in-principle approvals for land allotment at discounted rates for setting up manufacturing and hardware facilities.
The State Investment Promotion Board cleared the proposals following evaluations by the State Investment Promotion Committee and the Apex Committee of the State Quantum Mission. Under the policy framework, the State Quantum Mission will receive equity stakes in the approved firms during the disbursement of incentives, aligned with company valuations at that time. These equity arrangements will be facilitated through the Ratan Tata Innovation Hub.
The Ratan Tata Innovation Hub will also play a central role in developing a broader quantum ecosystem in the state through a hub-and-spoke model, providing mentoring, advisory support and access to funding for quantum startups and research-led enterprises.
With these approvals, Amaravati Quantum Valley is expected to attract a critical mass of talent, infrastructure and investment, positioning Andhra Pradesh as a key destination for quantum computing, deep-tech innovation and next-generation digital capabilities in India.
