During the valedictory of CII Partnership Summit and Sunrise Andhra Pradesh Investment Meet here on Tuesday Union Minister for Fertilizers and Chemicals Ananth Kumar had announced the sanction of NIPER in Visakhapatnam.

NIPER is a long awaited demand of the pharma industry which has spread over Parawada, Nakkapalli, Duvvada, Ranasthalam, Vizianagaram and other areas of North Andhra.
