The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) has proposed works worth Rs.81,317 crore for developing the greenfield capital city of Amaravati, with tenders already floated for projects valued at Rs 50,552 crore.

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, reviewing progress with ministers, officials, and contractors, was informed that construction has begun on 74 projects spanning housing, public buildings, roads, ducts, flood control, and core infrastructure. CM Naidu directed completion six months ahead of schedule and stressed smooth implementation in LPS (land pooling scheme) areas. He urged expedited approvals for agencies, including BITS Pilani and XLRI, to set up offices, and called for continuous monitoring of 72 landallotted organisations.

Highlighting that land allotment must be followed by investment, he sought projects in Sport City, tourism, airport infrastructure, biotech, education, and healthcare, inviting India’s top 10 real estate developers. CM Naidu emphasised making Amaravati a green energy corridor, promoting EVs, and tracking air quality across the capital region.
