Centre fully supporting construction of Amaravati, says BJP A.P. chief Madhav

BJP State president P.V.N. Madhav asserted on Sunday that the Union government was fully supporting the construction of the capital city Amaravati and it helped in firmly establishing it as the sole capital by having the A.P. Reorganization (Amendment) Bill, 2026, passed in Parliament.

The Modi Government had initially provided ₹1,500 crore for construction of the capital after bifurcation of the unified State and a special financial assistance of ₹1,000 crore later for creation of essential infrastructure, Mr. Madhav said in a press release.

The Centre also facilitated financial assistance of approximately ₹26,000 crore through institutions such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and HUDCO, he added.

The fact that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation for Amaravati at Uddandarayunipalem reflected the importance that was attached to the capital project by the Centre, Mr. Madhav pointed out.

Crucial infrastructure

Further, he said the creation of crucial infrastructure like major arterial roads, power grids, and water pipelines was going on at a brisk pace, and reminded that the Centre provided funds on a large scale for the establishment of prestigious educational institutions like the IIT and AIIMS.

He said the formation of the NDA Government at both the Centre and in the State in 2024 restored Amaravati’s glory. A massive financial package of ₹15,000 crore was announced in the 2024-25 Union Budget for expeditious development of Amaravati, he said.

Mr. Modi had relaunched the Amaravati construction works costing about ₹43,000 crore in May 2025. The passage of the Bill was a defining moment in the history of Amaravati, Mr. Madhav added.
