Isro has sought 500 acres of land in the vicinity of Satish Dhawan Space Centre (Shar), Sriharikota, to setup rocket spare parts-based industries.

He said that Isro chairman Dr K. Radhakrishnan had asked the government to provide 500 acres either in Tada or Naidupeta, which are dotted with SEZs.

When asked whether Isro itself would setup the industries, he said that the proposed industries are likely to have private participation. He said that some cellular companies located in Chennai and Bangalore also planning to establish their units in Tada and Naidupeta. “They have been facing some inconveniences in Chennai airport and they want to make use of international airport coming up in Tirupati,” the MP maintained.
