Hyderabad: The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to construct buildings in its capital city using three methods. But it will depend on the funds given by the Centre. The state wants to build some buildings on its own, some buildings in the Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) mode and some other buildings through the Public Private Partnership (PPP) system.
In the capital city, the main buildings are the Raj Bhavan, Assembly, the Secretariat and the High Court. The state will construct these buildings on its own. According to state estimates the Raj Bhavan will cost Rs 390 crore, the HC Rs 1,150 crore and the Assembly and Secretariat buildings Rs 2010 crore. Guest houses, roads, sewerage system and others will be constructed using the BOT system. Minister’s quarters, government office buildings like directorates and others will be constructed in the PPP mode.
The construction of the capital city and getting funds from the Centre will start only after the Singapore government submits its master plan.
According to the agreement, the Singapore government has to submit the master plan in June but it has promised to give it by May. The government sent several proposals to the Centre on the capital city for sanction of funds. But the Centre told the state that it is possible to sanction funds only after submitting the Detailed Project Report.
