The Hans India received credible information and published a story that Titan Aviation and Aerospace India Limited which is ready to invest Rs 20,000 crore for setting up a unit for maintenance of aircrafts has been reportedly asked by a senior consultant of Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board to consider land belonging to privately owned Krishnapatnam Port instead of government proposed Donakonda Industrial Corridor.

An internal probe is ordered to identify the moles and the persons behind them before an action is officially taken against the individuals.”On the other side, the APIIC wrote a letter to the TAAIL to conduct a field survey to an extent of 5,500 acres at Kocherlakota, Manginapudi and Mallampeta villages and report on the actual land they required within a week.
Sidda Raghava Rao, Minister for Forests, Environment, Science, and Technology said, “We are in regular touch with the TAAIL and the officials invited them for the field survey next week. The TAAIL will not go anywhere but Donakonda and we will lay the foundation stone for the aviation industry at Donakonda very soon.”
