TCS will start operations at its Transit Building, Millennium Towers, in Visakhapatnam, with an initial workforce of 2,000 employees.

IT Minister Nara Lokesh announced that Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will set up its base in Visakhapatnam’s Millennium Towers at Rushikonda, with an initial 2,000 employees. The state government will provide more land for construction of new buildings for IT companies. Lokesh praised the NDA government’s IT policy, which he believes will attract large-scale IT investments, making Visakhapatnam the IT capital. He criticized the previous YSRCP government, accusing them of neglecting North Andhra and failing to allocate land for the proposed railway zone. He also rebutted YSRCP’s claims about the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, stating that the plant is facing financial difficulties but is being supported by the Centre and state governments, and that there is no plan to privatize it. He defended the NDA government’s track record, citing the reopening of Anna Canteens, pension increases, and the launch of the Deepam scheme in the first six months of the government, and contrasted it with the YSRCP’s failure to implement its own promises.
