Amaravati, the ambitious greenfield capital city project for Andhra Pradesh, India, has faced significant political and developmental challenges. Envisioned for...
Amaravati was envisioned as the greenfield capital city for the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, proposed after the state's bifurcation in 2014.
Its status became controversial due to a proposal by the current state government to have three capital cities instead of a single one, effectively halting Amaravati's development as the sole capital.
Amaravati is situated on the banks of the Krishna River in the Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh, India.
The dispute has led to legal battles, protests from farmers who pooled their land, and uncertainty for investors, significantly delaying the region's planned development.
Development work on Amaravati as the sole capital is largely stalled. The matter of the three-capital proposal is currently before the courts, with political developments continuing to influence its future.
