Nellore district, officially known as Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore district in Coastal Andhra Region,[5] is one of the 26 districts in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. According to the 2011 Census, the district's population was 2,963,557[6] of which 29.07% was urban. Its administrative headquarters are located in Nellore city. Located in the Coastal Andhra region, the district is bordered by the Bay of Bengal to the east, Kadapa district and Annamayya district to the west, Prakasam district to the north, and Tirupati district to the south.[7]

## Etymology

[edit]

The name of the district is derived from the name of the district headquarters, Nellore. The city was historically known as Vikrama Simhapuri until the 13th century, when it became known as Nellore. The name "Nellore" originates from a mythological story in the Sthala Purana, which depicts a lingam in the form of a stone under a Phyllanthus emblica (amla), or nelli tree. According to this myth, the place gradually became known as "Nelli-ooru" (nelli referring to the amla tree and ooru meaning "place" in both Tamil and Telugu). Over time, the name evolved to the present-day "Nellore," reflecting the area's historical and cultural significance.[8] The name is also linked to the Tamil word "நெல்லு" (nellu), meaning "paddy" or "rice," highlighting the region's long-standing association with rice cultivation.[9]

The official name of Nellore was changed to Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore District (SPS Nellore) on 4 June 2008,[10] in honour of the Indian revolutionary Potti Sri Ramulu, who died fasting in an attempt to achieve the formation of a separate state for the Telugu people, which would later become Andhra Pradesh.[11]

## History

[edit]

After the fall of the Vijayanagara Empire, the area was ruled by the Nawabs. During the eighteenth century, Nellore saw wars between Najeebullah, the ruler of the area, and his brother Arcot Nawab, who received support from the British and French. Nawab's army, under the command of colonel Caillaud, took over the Nellore fort in 1762.[12] For the purposes of revenue collection, the town of Nellore and the surrounding district were handed over to the British East India Company in 1781 and 1801, respectively. Nellore was named the revenue unit for the district.[13]

Nellore Airport is a proposed greenfield airport project near Dagadarthi, India, intended to serve the Nellore district. The airport is to be developed on 1,352 acres (5.47 km2) of land with an estimated cost of ₹368 crore (equivalent to ₹457 crore or US$54 million in 2023).

#### Planning

[edit]

In 2008, the government of Andhra Pradesh invited for expressions of interest to develop eight minor airports in the state, including an airport at Nellore. Each airport was expected to cost ₹50 crore (equivalent to ₹139 crore or US$16 million in 2023). The airports were to be built in 500–600 acres (2.0–2.4 km2) with a runway length of 6,000 feet (1,800 m). The construction of this airport was chosen because Nellore is strategically situated between Vijayawada and Chennai, and Krishnapatnam Port is situated about 25 km (16 mi) from the city.[34] However, AAI has rejected this proposal citing insufficient land available for the construction of the airport.[35]

In 2013, Ministry of Civil Aviation had identified Nellore airport as one of the 50 locations across the country for low-cost airports to be built by the AAI. These airports would be built with bare minimum facilities for aircraft to operate, without compromising on safety and security.[36]

In September 2017, the government of Andhra Pradesh solicited proposals for development of a no-frills greenfield airport at Dagadarthi under a public-private partnership. The development proposal by SCL-Turbo Consortium Pvt. Ltd. was accepted, along with the associated draft concession agreement and financial stipulations.[37] The Arafath Group and ADP Ingénierie was to construct and operate the airport.[38][39][non-primary source needed] SCL Turbo has formed a special purpose vehicle (SPV) Nellore International Airport Private Limited for the construction.[40]

#### Construction

[edit]

The airport was to be developed on 1,352 acres (5.47 km2) of land with an estimated cost of ₹368 crore (equivalent to ₹457 crore or US$54 million in 2023).[41] The project had received all clearances and approvals from various agencies. As per the agreement, the financial closure for the project was to be achieved by December 2018.[40] On January 26, 2018, during his Republic Day speech, the District Collector R. Mutyala Raju announced that the acquisition of land for the airport was nearly completed.[42]

The foundation stone was laid by then Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on January 10, 2019.[43] However, the YSR Congress Party led government, which was elected in May that year, moved to review all the major decisions taken by the previous government.[44] In August 2019, the new government terminated its contract with Nellore International Airport Private Limited to develop the airport. The government said it would complete the project by handing the airport over to the AAI.[41] In July 2020, the government formally scrapped the concession agreement signed with the SCL Turbo consortium.[40] Later in November same year, the government has invited fresh bids from national and international companies for the construction of the airport.[45]

After the government approved the report on Dec 21st 2021, It's expected that the first phase work could start as soon as April 2022.
