A seven-storey High Court, a 50-storey Secretariat, and four 42-storey HOD towers are proposed to be built in the Government Complex area in Amaravati.

The 49th meeting of the CRDA (Capital Region Development Authority) chaired by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has approved the proposal to invite tenders worth ₹1,052 crore for providing infrastructure in 1,450 acres of the Amaravati Government Complex area.

Disclosing the details to the media here on Friday, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) Minister P. Narayana said it was decided to invite tenders worth ₹682 crore to connect the Seed Access Road to National Highway-16.

During a visit to Uttar Pradesh, a study was conducted in Lucknow on how the river bund was constructed there and how their solid waste plants operate. U.P. officials have also expressed willingness to come here to study the solid waste plants, he said.

The Minister said discussions were held with experts regarding the development of the Green and Blue City.

The Government City will house major institutions, including a seven-storey High Court, a 50-storey Secretariat, and four 42-storey HOD (Heads of Departments) towers.

Green-blue capital

It may be recalled that the State government plans to develop Amaravati as India’s first green-blue capital, and 30% of Amaravati’s area is reserved for greenery and water bodies. 

The government aims to meet 30% of its projected 2,700 MW energy demand through solar and wind power. Solar panels will be mandatory on one-third of government buildings. Features include GIS-based land management, smart signage, an ICT command centre, and mobile apps for grievance redressal. 

The CRDA has already  approved tenders worth ₹1,732.31 crore for constructing residential towers for gazetted and non-gazetted government employees in the core capital area in Amaravati. The key approvals include ₹514.41 crore for completing towers for gazetted officers (originally initiated during 2014–2019), ₹194.73 crore for external infrastructure works, ₹506.67 crore for nine towers for non-gazetted employees, and ₹517.10 crore for constructing 12 additional towers and related amenities.

Additionally, ₹560.57 crore was approved for a 190 MLD water treatment plant, including five years of operations and maintenance, and ₹494.86 crore for overhead water tanks.

In the 47th CRDA meeting earlier, approvals were sanctioned for road infrastructure as well. The authority gave the approval for inviting tenders for a 1.5 km elevated road on the E-3 Seed Axis, a 4.10 km extension to the E-13 road (₹384.78 crore), and a 3.98 km extension to the E-15 road (₹70 crore), all connecting to the national highway.
