The Andhra Pradesh government will unveil a new IT policy within 100 days or so, and the State government will focus on developing Visakhapatnam as the IT destination, M Goutham Reddy, the State IT and Industries Minister, told the media here on Saturday.

He said the government would review most of the agreements signed by the previous Telugu Desam Party (TDP) regime and review the policies relating to IT and industry development. “If there are any good features and policies, we will persist with them. It is not our policy to undo whatever the previous government had did,” he said in response to a question.

After a review meeting with the representatives of IT Association of Andhra Pradesh (ITAAP) and IT companies at Tech Hub along with Tourism Minister Muttamsetti Srinivasa Rao, he said that the government would ensure balanced development in both urban and semi-urban areas by promoting BPOs and MSMEs to generate jobs for the locals.
