The Andhra Pradesh government has given the green light to the second phase of land pooling (LPS‑II) for Amaravati, the state’s capital region. This phase will cover around 16,666 acres spread across seven villages, including Vaikunthapuram, Pedamadduru, Yendrai, Karlapudi, Vadlamanu, Harichandrapuram, and Pedaparimi. The approval is seen as a major step in reviving the long-delayed plans for building Amaravati.
Alongside LPS‑II, the state has secured a ₹7,500 crore loan from the National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID). This funding is earmarked for developing essential infrastructure across the capital region. Key projects include construction of roads, drainage systems, water supply networks, sewerage lines, electricity connections, and other civic facilities.
Officials said that with the loan in place, work on infrastructure is expected to start soon. Farmers who had pooled their land will now receive proper layouts and promised amenities, addressing concerns about delays in the capital’s development. The move is also expected to boost investor confidence and accelerate the city’s overall growth.
The Cabinet decision reflects the government’s commitment to transforming Amaravati into a modern, well-planned capital. By combining land pooling with a major financial boost, the administration aims to ensure that the city’s development proceeds systematically, with both farmers’ interests and urban planning goals in focus.
With LPS‑II and the NaBFID loan, Andhra Pradesh is now poised to move ahead on one of its most ambitious infrastructure projects, promising better facilities, faster development, and a clearer roadmap for Amaravati’s future.
