The arrival of global companies like Google in Vizag strengthens the investment climate

Lulu Mall will significantly boost tourism and the local economy

Requested Lulu Group to purchase agricultural produce directly from AP farmers, supporting the agri sector

Naidu stated that the Lulu Mall would become a landmark destination for tourism and employment in Visakhapatnam.

Yusuf Ali on Reviving the Vizag Project

Yusuf Ali revealed that the earlier mall project could not move forward due to the unstable environment under the previous administration.

After Chandrababu Naidu returned to power in 2024, the government reviewed the unused project land and invited the Lulu team to revive the plan.

After detailed discussions, Lulu Group agreed to restart the project at the same location.

Yusuf Ali also recalled that it was former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu who first introduced him to Chandrababu Naidu, marking the beginning of a long-term partnership.
