22 Aug 2025 CW Team

The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA), chaired by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, has sanctioned Rs 9.04 billion to address infrastructure gaps in 29 villages within the Amaravati capital region. The decision was announced by Municipal Administration Minister P Narayana after the authority’s 51st meeting.

The funds will be used to upgrade roads, drains, drinking water supply, sewerage systems, and street lighting. A recent study revealed a 30 per cent shortfall in water supply, a complete absence of sewerage systems, a 40 per cent deficiency in roads, and a 10 per cent shortfall in street lighting.

Based on these findings, Rs 640 million has been allocated for water supply, Rs 1.11 billion for sewerage, Rs 3.39 billion for roads, and Rs 120 million for street lighting. The allocation also includes maintenance and operational costs for the next seven years.

The upgraded village infrastructure will be integrated with Amaravati’s 360 km of trunk roads and 1,500 km of layout roads, with parallel drains, water lines, and power lines.

The CRDA also approved pooling 78 acres in Mangalagiri for a gems and jewellery park, which is expected to attract Rs 50 billion in investments and create 20,000 direct jobs. Additionally, 100 acres each were allocated to two private colleges, and plans are under way for a bioengineering university in the capital.

Minister Narayana said that the Chief Minister has directed all capital city projects to be executed on a war footing to ensure visible progress this season.
