National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) Visakhapatnam Regional Centre has its presence in the city since 1976 and presently has three rented premises. Its dream to have its own premises would be fulfilled once it moves to the new project proposed at Yendada on the Beach Road. Foundation stone for the dream project of the institute was laid in 2015 May. Scientists of the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) have to wait for some more time for their dream to have a world-class research lab and associated facilities in the City of Destiny.

The reason for the delay is attributed to procedures involved in getting clearance for revised estimates for the project from the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, and approval of building plan from Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority and the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation. The complex will have smart buildings with water recycling, underground cabling and drainage, solar power and other facilities. It will be dedicated to undertake research on various aspects of the Bay of Bengal, including the characteristics of tidal waves, genesis of cyclones, biochemistry of ecosystem, rip current and beach profiling and monsoon prediction.
