Andhra Pradesh's Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) has announced its plan to invite tenders for various projects totaling INR 11,467 crore, including the construction of key buildings in Amaravati.
During its 41st meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, the authority approved the construction of 360 kilometers of trunk roads at an estimated cost of INR 2,498 crore, along with reservoirs and gravity canals valued at INR 1,585 crore across the Pala Vagu and Kondaveeti Vagu. Additionally, INR 3,523 crore will be allocated for residential complexes for gazetted and non-gazetted officers, as well as Class Four and All India Service (AIS) members, and INR 3,859 crore is designated for basic amenities on the returnable layouts of land allocated for farmers.
Addressing the media after the meeting, the Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD), P Narayana, confirmed that tenders for these projects will be issued immediately, with work expected to commence in January. He noted that the Chief Minister has instructed officials to implement underground drainage systems, install streetlights, and ensure water supply and other services meet international standards.
Narayana also announced that tenders for the design of five iconic towers, along with new Assembly and High Court buildings, have already been called, with construction tenders set to be issued by the end of December. He criticized the previous government for causing significant hardships to farmers and women, stating that it attempted to undermine Amaravati's status as the state capital. He further remarked that the former administration's false claims of establishing three capitals have devastated Amaravati. The Municipal Administration Minister assured that Amaravati will be completed within the next three years, fulfilling the promise made to the state's five-crore residents.
The CRDA's ambitious plans for development in Amaravati signal a commitment to enhancing the capital region's infrastructure and amenities. By launching these critical projects and adhering to international standards, the CRDA envisions a strengthened Amaravati within the next three years, signaling a new chapter in the region's growth and development.
