Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary K Vijayanand announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will restart the construction of Amaravati, the state’s greenfield capital city, in April. The project, worth around ₹1 lakh crore, will resume after years of delay.
During a meeting with a Singapore government delegation at the Secretariat, Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) Commissioner K Kanna Babu shared details about the upcoming developments. The Singapore government, which previously supported Amaravati’s development between 2014 and 2019, was requested to extend its partnership again.
Vijayanand assured that there is no shortage of funds for the project, with financial backing from institutions like the World Bank, HUDCO, and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The government is making rapid progress in developing Amaravati over a 217-sq km area. Tenders have been invited for constructing the government complex, trunk roads, and other infrastructure projects.
Prime Minister Modi will lay the foundation stone for various projects and inaugurate several developments during his visit in April.
Singapore government representative Francis Chong expressed interest in renewing collaboration with Andhra Pradesh for Amaravati’s construction.
