Delhi Industries Minister Sardar Manjinder Singh Sirsa visited Amaravati during an official tour and reviewed the ongoing development of the Andhra Pradesh capital. He was accompanied by a delegation that visited the headquarters of the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) at Rayapudi.
The delegation was received by T. Rahul Kumar Reddy, IAS, Additional Commissioner, APCRDA, along with senior officials. At the headquarters, the delegation visited the Amaravati Integrated Command and Control Centre (AICCC), where officials presented details of the city’s planning framework and ongoing infrastructure works.
Rahul Kumar Reddy briefed the delegation on Amaravati’s overall development vision, comprehensive city planning and the projects currently being implemented. The APCRDA’s Digital Twin Platform was used to provide an overview of the Amaravati Master Plan, major infrastructure projects and the technology-based systems being adopted for planning and development.
The presentation also covered the State Government’s plans to develop Amaravati as a world-class capital, with global-standard educational institutions, quantum research centres and advanced infrastructure. These initiatives are intended to support the development of Amaravati as a centre for knowledge and innovation.
Sirsa appreciated the planning and infrastructure work being carried out in Amaravati. He also acknowledged the State Government’s efforts under the leadership of Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu to develop the city as a modern capital with international standards.
During the interaction, the minister particularly noted Amaravati’s planned green spaces, iconic towers and transportation infrastructure. These elements form part of the wider city planning framework being implemented by APCRDA.
