Amaravati Construction to be Completed in Three Years says Minister

Andhra Pradesh's Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development, P Narayana, announced that the construction of the state's capital city, Amaravathi, would be completed within the next three years. This ambitious project is aimed at transforming Amaravathi into one of the top five metropolitan cities globally.

The Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) has approved projects worth Rs 242.76 billion, including the construction of trunk roads, layouts, and iconic buildings. The Assembly building, covering 103 acres, will feature a 250-meter-tall structure offering a panoramic view of the city. Other key projects include an eight-story High Court, a 47-story General Administrative Department building, and five additional towers.

A meeting of the CRDA was held with Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Monday, where the construction of trunk roads, layouts, and iconic buildings worth Rs 242.76 billion was approved. A press statement revealed that Narayana confirmed all these constructions would be completed in the next three years.

In a briefing to the media about the decisions made at the CRDA meeting, the MAUD Minister explained that the CRDA had so far approved works worth Rs 452.49 billion. He mentioned that the Assembly building, spanning 103 acre, would rise to a height of 250 meters, covering 11.22 lakh square meters. The Assembly complex would allow people to view the entire capital of Amaravathi, except when the Assembly is in session.

The eight-story High Court will be built over 20.32 lakh square feet in an area of 42 acres at a cost of Rs 10.48 billion, while the 47-story General Administrative Department (GAD) building will cover 17.03 lakh square feet, Narayana revealed. In addition, five other towers will be constructed over 68.88 lakh square feet, totalling Rs 46.88 billion.

As part of providing basic amenities, Narayana stated that four highways and other roads, totalling 579.5 km in length, will be built at a cost of Rs 96.99 billion. Furthermore, Rs 77.94 billion will be allocated for trunk roads, and Rs 3.18 billion will be spent on STP works. The total cost of the projects approved in the CRDA meeting on Monday was Rs 242.76 billion. Narayana mentioned that the process of calling for tenders would begin by next Monday and was expected to be completed by the end of the month. Any remaining tenders would be completed by the end of January.

Narayana emphasized that all these projects would be completed in three years, without fail, to transform Amaravathi into one of the top five metropolitan cities in the world.

He also responded to accusations from certain leaders who had previously held posts in the former government, stating they were criticizing the state government. Narayana suggested these leaders review the SOR and remarked that the previous government's actions had led to increased construction costs for the projects.

The MAUD Minister also clarified that necessary works would be carried out in all 29 villages involved in land-pooling and assured that farmers in the capital region would receive fair treatment.

Narayana further stated that the state government would proceed with the construction of the capital once all legal and technical issues were resolved.
