The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority Act'2014 (Act No. 11 of 2014) has been revived w.e.f 13-Dec-2021 by virtue of enactment of "The Andhra Pradesh Decentralization and Inclusive Development of All Regions Repeal Act'2021" by AP State Legislature and respective gazette notification published on 13-Dec-2021.

After the bifurcation of combined Andhra Pradesh and on deciding the location of Capital City for new Andhra Pradesh State, the question raised in every body's mind was- how to procure land to meet the requirements of Comprehensive city that not only serves as Administrative Capital but also triggers the socio economic growth?

Hence, the land procurement for the new capital was done through a more humane mechanism of Land Pooling Scheme, where the landowners are not displaced and become part of the economic growth and benefit from the city development both socially and economically. The city is envisioned to be a benchmark for inclusive and sustainable model of growth for all the cities all over the world.

APCRDA will continue its efforts to provide the city with world class infrastructure and smart technologies to be on par with the world best cities.

I congratulate the entire team of APCRDA for the successful contribution towards the Land Pooling Scheme and wish all the success for the Amaravati Happy Cities Summit.
