Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh is set to depart for Delhi today from Gannavaram Airport, where he will meet Union Minister for Railways, Ashwini Vaishnav, this evening. The meeting aims to express gratitude for the allocation of funds to Andhra Pradesh in the recent Railway Budget and discuss potential new railway projects for the state.

During the meeting, Lokesh is expected to outline the state's IT and electronics policy, emphasizing the need for federal cooperation in transforming Visakhapatnam into an IT hub and Ralaseema into an electronics hub. His appeal will focus on providing incentives to encourage such developments.
