The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to cancel the 8,848 acres of land allotted to the Lepakshi Knowledge Hub (LKH), which had proposed to set up a multi-sector industrial park project in Anantapur district bordering Karnataka.

“Chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy has directed the AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) to initiate action for the cancellation process with regard to allotment of land to Lepakhshi for violation of terms of memorandum of understanding,” the chief minister's office said.
