By our Special Correspondent

The Andhra Pradesh government has estimated an expenditure of ₹64,721 crore for the construction of Amaravati, the State’s capital city, Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development P. Narayana announced in the Assembly on Tuesday (March 11, 2025). He assured that the construction of the capital would be completed within three years, that is by 2028.

          Responding to a question posed by BJP MLA Yelamanchili Satyanarayana Chowdary (Sujana Chowdary) during the Question Hour, the Minister criticised former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, stating that while Jagan had initially declared in the Assembly that 30,000 acres were needed for Amaravati’s development, he later changed his stance, leading to uncertainty in the capital project.
