Centre Clears Rs 27.9 Billion for Amaravati Development

The Government of India has sanctioned Rs 27.87 billion to support the development of Amaravati, the capital city of Andhra Pradesh. The funding, released by the Union Cabinet, is aimed at strengthening the region’s infrastructure, enhancing connectivity, and upgrading public amenities.

The approved amount will be utilised for the construction and improvement of roads, bridges, rail links, water supply, and sanitation systems—supporting Amaravati’s vision of becoming a modern, well-serviced capital. The project also includes measures to boost rural livelihoods by enhancing access and opportunities in outlying districts connected to the capital region.

According to the state government, this central financial support will expedite stalled projects and give renewed impetus to Amaravati's urban development plans, which have faced delays due to funding constraints and land acquisition challenges.

The initiative reflects a strong partnership between the central and state governments, aligning with earlier commitments to ensure timely implementation of essential infrastructure projects. Development activities are expected to move forward quickly in the coming months, creating jobs and accelerating the region’s transformation into a sustainable urban hub.
