In a renewed push to realise the vision of a well-planned and inclusive capital, the Andhra Pradesh government has significantly accelerated construction activity across Amaravati, with an aim of transforming it into a vibrant hub of governance and administration.
Spearheaded by multiple renowned infrastructure firms, the development encompasses a wide range of residential and official complexes tailored to house elected representatives, civil servants, judicial officers, and government staff. The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) has finalised the tenders and the contractors have commenced the construction works in almost all major projects across the city.
A key highlight of the construction boom is the near-completion of residential towers for the Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and the Legislative Council (MLCs), informed Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development P. Narayana. These buildings are being developed by NCC Limited. The project includes 12 towers with 288 spacious units of 3,500 square feet each, spread over 10.5 acres.
