Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu announced in the Pan - IIT Andhra Pradesh Summit here on Saturday that the quantum computing operations would commence in Amaravati, starting February 3, 2027 in collaboration with IBM, TCS, and L&T.

This marks the evolution of Andhra Pradesh as a producer and exporter of quantum hardware systems from being a mere consumer, Mr. Naidu said. 

He stated that ‘Pan - IIT World Council’ would be formed in Amaravati to guide curriculum reforms, foster startups and mentorship and support the State’s goal to become a global knowledge hub.

It would be the world’s largest network of academics, he observed, and declared the creation of a ₹500 crore venture fund corpus for the promotion of deep-tech startup companies in the State.
