  The Andhra Pradesh government has announced plans to acquire 45,000 acres of land to expand the capital city of Amaravati. As part of this ambitious development push, 5,000 acres will be earmarked for a new international airport, 2,500 acres for smart industrial zones, and another 2,500 acres for a world-class sports city.

  Andhra Pradesh has ratified crucial Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to kickstart the development of the Quantum Valley Park in Amaravati. This strategic initiative aims to position the state as a hub for quantum computing and next-generation technologies. Chief Minister has instructed the IT Ministry to fast-track the project, ensuring that the park becomes operational by January 2026 . The park is expected to attract global tech firms, foster innovation, and create high-skilled jobs, marking a significant step toward transforming Amaravati into a tech-driven knowledge economy.

  In a significant political move, the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly has passed a resolution urging the Central government to amend the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, to declare Amaravati as the only capital of the state. The resolution reaffirms the state’s commitment to Amaravati as its legislative, executive, and judicial capital. It seeks to put an end to previous proposals for multiple capitals, which had sparked widespread protests and legal battles. The resolution calls on the Centre to formally recognize Amaravati in the Reorganisation Act, ensuring clarity and stability in the state's administrative structure.

  Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has announced that a grand 58-foot-tall statue of Potti Sriramulu will be installed in Amaravati. The decision is a tribute to the freedom fighter and linguist, whose relentless efforts and ultimate sacrifice led to the formation of the state of Andhra Pradesh. CM Naidu emphasized that the statue will symbolize the rich cultural heritage and history of the Telugu people. He further stated that Amaravati, the capital city, will reflect the aspirations of Sriramulu, who dedicated his life to the cause of a separate Andhra state. The installation is expected to inspire future generations and remind them of the sacrifices made for statehood. The government is making all necessary arrangements for the statue’s construction, and officials are working on selecting an appropriate location within Amaravati. This initiative is part of the broader efforts to honor key historical figures who shaped Andhra Pradesh’s identity.
