People see the land change every day, as the dream of a modern, well-planned center comes true. This rush of building activity shows the strong push to make Amaravati a key place for everyone, promising a future full of growth and new chances.
How Amaravati Began to Take Shape
Amaravati, a city chosen as the new main place for the state of Andhra Pradesh, has seen its building plans take on a new speed. The choice for Amaravati came after Andhra Pradesh was split into two separate states in 2014. At that time, Hyderabad became the main city for the new state of Telangana. This meant Andhra Pradesh needed a new place to be its center.
To get land for the new city, a special method called land pooling was used. This plan asked landowners to willingly give up their land. In return, they would get back developed plots and money. This method helped to gather a large amount of land needed for the city’s creation. About 33,733 acres of land were collected through this plan.
The first ideas for Amaravati’s design came with help from the government of Singapore. The plan was to create a modern city. But, between the years 2019 and 2024, the work on Amaravati slowed down a lot. This happened because of a change in the state government, which brought up a different plan for three main cities instead of one. This pause in building caused some problems, including higher costs for materials and a loss of trust from those looking to put money into the city.
Building Work Now Moves Faster
Since June 2024, the work to build Amaravati has picked up speed again. There are clear signs that the city, which had seen little progress for five years, is now active. India’s Prime Minister officially restarted the building work on May 2, 2025. This marked a new start for the much-awaited city.
The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Building Authority (CRDA) is the main group in charge of putting these plans into action. This authority is overseeing many large building efforts. The CRDA has put forward plans for work valued at 813. 17 billion Indian Rupees. Tenders, which are formal offers for carrying out work, have already been sent out for projects worth 505. 52 billion Indian Rupees.
A total of 74 building projects have now begun. These include a wide range of vital structures and systems:
- Houses for people working in government
- Buildings for public use
- New roads
- Channels for water and other services
- Ways to control floods
- Other key city systems
Many housing areas are almost finished for government members and officers. These include places for Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and Members of the Legislative Council (MLCs). There are also housing units for All India Services officers. These buildings are seeing quick progress with things like flooring, electricity, water pipes. final touches.
Around 4,000 houses for government workers are expected to be done by March 2026. Roads and drainage systems are also nearly complete, with designs for new road layouts to be finished by August 2025 by experts.
Work is also being done on crucial water channels like Kondaveeti Vagu, Palavagu. Gravity Canal. These channels are being made wider and deeper to help prevent floods. Reservoirs are being built at Sakamuru, Krishnayapalem. Neerukonda, which will hold a combined amount of water.
The main office building for the CRDA, located in Rayapudi, is in its final stages of building. This big building will have offices for the CRDA, the Amaravati Building Corporation. other government parts. The goal is to move these offices into the new building soon to create a central place for managing the city’s building efforts.
