Amaravati Works: CM Naidu Calls for Visible Outcomes

Vijayawada: Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has asked the entities that have acquired lands in capital Amaravati to complete their construction works within the stipulated time.

Naidu held a review meeting in the secretariat on Tuesday with representatives of various organisations that have been allocated lands under the CRDA limits in Amaravati.

He reviewed the progress of constructions across plots allocated for corporate entities, educational institutions, hotels, central government offices and other project-based sites. This was the first-of-its-kind meeting with all those who were allotted land in Amaravati.

Representatives from 61 institutions participated in the meeting, several of them via Zoom. The CM inquired with them about their construction timelines and sought detailed information on their execution plans and project readiness.

Naidu said, “We are building Amaravati as a uniquely planned city crafted to meet future needs. It will be a hub of high-end technology, designed with AI and Quantum Valley concepts. The planning is already under way to shape Amaravati into a true city of the future.

“All institutions that have received land here are not just their occupants; they are partners in this historic development journey. World-renowned companies and institutions are coming here. You stand to benefit from multiple strategic advantages. We are planning Amaravati as a Green and Blue city, zero-emission, environmentally sustainable, and future-proof. The government will promote electric vehicles across the capital region,” the CM said.

Naidu had detailed interactions with each institution regarding the start and end dates of their construction projects. He stressed, “Those who have taken land must begin construction as committed. You must finish work within two-and-a-half to three years. Not a day beyond the specified deadline will be acceptable.”

The government, he said, will extend full support for approvals. “There will be no delay from our side. A Single Window system will be used to expedite permissions. If any official delay occurs, feel free to approach me directly.”

Naidu urged organisations to ensure their building designs match global standards. “The structures you build must enhance Amaravati’s image. Think beyond conventional models, your campus master plans should reflect a corporate look and feel. These projects must generate employment opportunities as well.”

The CM noted that institutions like RBI, HUDCO and major banks were among the allottees. “Amaravati will be a key financial hub with FinTech and economic service companies forming its core. We welcome your suggestions on how to make Amaravati a financial nerve centre,” he told the representatives.

Several representatives sought additional land allocations. Hotel sector players requested 2–2.5 acres of extra land for convention centre construction. Others sought extra land for parking facilities. Representatives from the Postal department sought land for a training centre for AP and Telangana staff.

Many organisations shared their employment projections post-construction. Institutions gave specific timelines for beginning work and detailed their campus blueprints. Representatives from BITS Pilani presented their design plan and the CM suggested a separate meeting for further discussion.

So far, CRDA has allotted 948 acres to 72 institutions in the capital. Of these, 886.21 acres have been allotted to 61 institutions and 61.50 acres to 11 more. The beneficiaries include schools, banks, universities, hotels, healthcare providers, government offices, religious institutions, and IT/Tech park operators.

Urban development minister P Narayana and senior officials from CRDA and municipal departments were also present at the review meeting.
