SINGAPORE - Singapore on Monday delivered to Andhra Pradesh phase one of the masterplan for the Indian state's new capital city, marking a big step forward in the project partnership.

The 7,235 sq km capital region plan is the first of a three-stage masterplan designed by Surbana International Consultants and Jurong Consultants, in collaboration with Andhra officials.

The plan to build Andhra's new capital comes about after India's 29th state, Telangana, was carved out of Andhra last year.

The current capital of Andhra, Hyderabad - a city of high-tech industries that includes Google and Microsoft - is now shared by the two states for the next 10 years. After that Andhra will need a new capital, as Hyderabad is geographically situated within Telangana.

The yet unnamed capital city will be built on swathes of farming and non-farm land, in the Guntur-Vijayawada region, and will be built from scratch in a unique collaboration between the two countries.
[The Capital City has a Name:- ...Amaravati ]

The Andhra government has started the process to acquire land from around 10,000 landowners to build the city along both banks of the Krishna River.
Land acquisition is often the most difficult part of big infrastructure projects in India and the state's swift move underscores the urgency with which it is treating the project.

The phase one masterplan delivered on Monday identifies long-term economic positioning of the exisiting towns and cities within the new capital region, a statement by Singapore's Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) said.

The Republic will next deliver the second stage of the masterplan which will be a capital city masterplan for a 220 sq km city.
The third phase will be a seed development masterplan for an 8 sq km development.

Visiting Andhra Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Second Trade and Industry Minister S. Iswaran on Monday chaired a high-level committee meeting on the project at the MTI. Mr Naidu is also attending on Monday a business seminar to help companies better understand the project. The seminar is organised by International Enterprise Singapore. -

@Itachi @Srinivas

@Darmashkian is CBN putting all his efforts on capital alone?

 

[Srinivas]

@Darmashkian is CBN putting all his efforts on capital alone?

No ... he is not.

He is concentrating on the state as a whole. There is potential for development 2 to 3 big cities in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema.

@Darmashkian is CBN putting all his efforts on capital alone?

As of now yes..

You see CBN doesn't want to build an idhar-udhar ka capital or a city which is a capital in name.

He wants to build a great Capital:- One which represents the hard-work, culture, knowledge & the glorious past of the People of AP..
A Capital which is grander than even New Delhi!!

Modi told/challenged the people of AP to do the above during the elections & promised his full support & it has gone in the heads of many & especially in the mind of CBN!

But at the same time, CBN is concentrating on Sri-City, Vishakapatnam ,Tirupati & one city in Rayalseema.. In the long-term he has many plans for the state & for each region.
He is just giving extra attention to the capital for now. After all AP has no capital!

What do you mean by grander than New Delhi?

India is a big country and India needs big cities, Capital is only one and it is new Delhi.

He may be building a good capital city but the potential is distributed through out the coastal Andhra reason why people are expecting that 2 to 3 big cities will come up here.

Lot of hard work and fund raising is still there, Hope every thing comes up well. Too long Andhra was stagnated in terms of growth because of Telangana movement. A.P lost good 6 to 7 years.

Modi's "Make in India" will also benefit coastal cities as well as regions located near DMIIC in North.

South is blessed to have coastal regions, reason why Industrial corridors like DMIIC are coming in North and Sagarmala project is for Coastal and Southern regions.

 

[Razia Sultana]

What is the location of Amaravati? Hope its away enough from Vijaywada or else it will always be a shadow city like Gandhinagar next to Ahmedabad.

cool name. i like that. means city of gods , immortal city.

He may be building a good capital city but the potential is distributed through out the coastal Andhra reasin why people are expecting that 2 to 3 big cities will come up here.

Lot of hard work and fund raising is still there, Hope every thing comes up well. Too long Andhra was stagnated in terms of growth because of Telangana movement. A.P lost good 6 to 7 years.

Modi said that when he came to AP for campaigning during Elections at Tirupati..(can't find the link now.. Sorry )

And a good contact of mine in the AP govt. claims that this is CBN's plan(long-term..i.e. 20-30 years) & I even think so seeing how CBN is working for the capital. & AP has very little money now! That's why I am saying/seeing 20-30 years for this to happen..

And what's wrong in building a city grander than New Delhi..[Also AAP will bring down the standards of Delhi].

& yes I agree regarding your last 2 points on potential, Tirupati, Vizag,Ongole & Nellore can be huge cities. Add to that CBN is working towards 14 ports !!(also long-term 10-15 years)

& yes I have always said that after 10 years with CBN ruling AP & KCR ruling TG, Andhra Pradesh WILL be better of compared to Telangana & Andhraites will be happier than Telanganaites at the end of the 10 years .

If KCR happens to rule for a decade, people of telengana might ask for a re merger

Between Vijayawada and Guntur, on the banks of River Krishna.

This is a blog.. but is very informative. Please read this..

Election promises are election promises.

Each state is tasked to raise its own income for development, by leasing or selling some of its lands. Like China did in its provinces back in 2000's.

There is a healthy competition between Andhra and Telangana.

Both are co operating, Andhra is giving a port to Telangana for the development sake of Telangana people.

Andhra is leaning towards USA, Singapore and Japan while Telangana is looking towards China for investments.

Between Vijayawada and Guntur, on the banks of River Krishna.

Then the nw city will be like a suburb of Vijaywada just like Delhi and Ghaziabad acros the yamuna.

 

[Srinivas]

Then the nw city will be like a suburb of Vijaywada just like Delhi and Ghaziabad acros the yamuna.

Yes the area is small, But the city is supposed to be a smart city which resembles Singapore or any other good city.

They are planning to make it a major tourist attraction so that they can gain some returns. The plan is to build it in less than a decade.

 

[topgun047]

Hope to see something better than Chandigarh.
