Narayana Starts Raft Foundation For High Court Building in Amaravati

Narayana performed special poojas at the site along with representatives of the executing agency, marking the beginning of one of the most prestigious institutional projects in the Greenfield capital. The High Court complex is being planned as a landmark structure, with the basement and ground floor rising to seven (B+G+7) floors, in line with the master vision for Amaravati as a world-class administrative capital.

The minister underlined that with construction of the AP High Court beginning in Amaravati, the city is being revived as the administrative and judicial nerve centre of Andhra Pradesh, reinforcing the NDA alliance government’s resolve to realise its long-pending Amaravati sole capital vision.

Addressing officials and engineers on the occasion, Narayana referred to the significant pick up in the pace of construction in Amaravati. This reflects the government’s commitment to put in place the key institutions required in a state capital within the stipulated timelines.

“Seven iconic buildings are coming up in the capital, including that of the High Court, based on the globally acclaimed designs provided by Norman Foster and Partners,” the minister underlined.

According to him, the High Court complex will come up over a built-up area of 21 lakh square feet. It will house 52 court halls on the second, fourth and sixth floors. The Chief Justice’s court will be on the eighth floor.

The structure will be built with around 45,000 tonnes of steel, reflecting the scale and engineering complexity of the project. The High Court building is slated to be completed by the end of 2027 in synchrony with the phased development of other key infrastructure in the state capital.

Narayana reiterated that the Amaravati state capital project suffered delays due to irregularities during the previous regime. “We are now determined to overcome those hurdles and move ahead at a fast pace,” he declared.
