Amaravati Secures Capital Status Amidst Political Turmoil

In a significant announcement, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu confirmed Amaravati's status as the capital of Andhra Pradesh has been solidified, garnering support from the entire country. This follows the passage of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, by Parliament.

He praised the national government's support and highlighted the collaborative vision for Amaravati, involving world-class infrastructure and strategic urban planning.

Looking forward, Naidu outlined ambitious development plans, including infrastructure projects and educational initiatives, aiming for a $2.4 trillion economy by 2047.
