The state government has allocated about 202 acres of land near Vangali village in Sabbavaram mandal, Vizag city for the
permanent campus of IIPE, which is currently being operated from the precincts of Andhra University.

Professional services company KPMG was hired by the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT) to prepare a
detailed project report for the setting up of IIPE’s permanent campus. Based on KPMG’s report and as per the recommendation
of the ministry of petroleum and natural gas, the Union cabinet had approved the IIPE Bill in April 2017 with a capital outlay of
Rs 655.46 crore to set up the premier institute and a contribution of Rs 200 crore towards its endowment fund.

This will be in addition to the contribution of Rs 200 crore from oil companies towards the endowment fund. Out of the above,
a total amount of Rs 630.46 crore will be available as capital outlay for setting up the new campus.

IIPE director Prof VSRK Prasad said they were asked by the district administration to take possession of the 202-acre land in
