One of the most critical priorities for the new state is the formation of the New Capital city, which is very important from the perspective of economic development, cultural integrity and administrative functioning. The Government of Andhra Pradesh has decided to establish a green field capital city as a liveable, environmentally sustainable and people‟s capital. For this purpose, the location of the capital was identified between Vijayawada and Guntur cities on the upstream of Prakasam Barrage on the river Krishna, with an area of 217.23 Sq.

The proposed Amaravathi capital city is being planned to accommodate a population of 3.55 million by 2050. The proposed capital city is being developed with „state-of-the-art‟ infrastructure including world class roads, water supply facilities, administrative and institutional complexes, drainage, sanitation, Solid Waste Management (SWM) facilities, river front development etc, among others. Vision: The New Capital of Andhra Pradesh is envisioned to be the pioneer Smart City of India. It aims to be World Class and at par with the standards set forth by countries such as Singapore. The new capital will be an economic powerhouse that will create a range of earning opportunities for existing resident villagers by upgrading their skills, as well as provide high-tech and knowledge based opportunities under industrial sector to be globally competitive and attempts to make them qualified for self-employment by providing interest free loans up to 25 lakhs. Housing will be at the core of its planning and will aim to provide affordable and quality homes to all its residents. It will demonstrate global quality of life standards to offer high levels of convenience to people of all ages. Purpose: The acquirement of lands required for the project is primarily under land pooling scheme as declared under A.P.
