The Indian Navy has strategically chosen Telangana as the location for its second Very Low Frequency (VLF) communication transmission station in the country. This significant development is set to take place in the Vikarabad district, with the new VLF center scheduled for completion by 2027.
VLF communication is crucial for the Navy to maintain effective communication with ships and submarines, emphasizing the strategic role of the new transmission station.
The selected site for the VLF center is the Damagudem forest area near Puduru in the Vikarabad mandal. This location was chosen after the Eastern Naval Command in Visakhapatnam identified Telangana as a suitable area for the establishment of a second radar station.
The INS Kattabomman Radar Station in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, served as the pioneering VLF communication transmission station and has been operational since 1990.
Despite the Navy’s engagement with the Telangana Government since 2010 and obtaining necessary environmental permits, the land allotment process faced obstacles. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s initiative successfully cleared hurdles, leading to the agreement for the transfer of 1,174 hectares of Damagudem Reserve Forest land to the Navy.
