The Government of Andhra Pradesh has approved two major infrastructure packages for the development of Amaravati Capital City, authorising the Chairperson and Managing Director of Amaravati Development Corporation Limited to issue work orders to the L1 bidder. The approvals follow decisions taken by the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority during its 56th authority meeting.
The first clearance relates to a ₹1,358.00 crore urban infrastructure package covering construction of roads, stormwater drains, water supply networks, sewerage systems, utility ducts for power and ICT, reuse water lines, sewage treatment plants, and avenue plantations. The works will be executed in land pooling scheme layouts across Krishnayapalem, Venkatapalem, Penumaka and Undavalli villages in Zone-8 and adjoining areas of Amaravati Capital City. The project will be implemented on a lump-sum contract basis with a two-year defect liability period.
Separately, the state government has sanctioned a ₹443.76 crore flood management project involving the construction of Flood Pumping Station-2 at Undavalli with a capacity of 8,400 cusecs, along with 15 years of operation and maintenance. The project is aimed at strengthening flood resilience in the capital region and will be supported through multilateral funding routed via APCRDA.
Both infrastructure packages have been awarded to Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd. The approvals are expected to accelerate core urban infrastructure development and enhance long-term flood protection measures as Amaravati’s capital city construction gains momentum.
