Amaravati Master Plan - Summary

The development of the New Capital City will be on a green field site of approximately 217 sq km located centrally within the Capital Region. The Capital Region comprises of 7,420 sq.km straddling on both sides of the Krishna River in both Krishna and Guntur Districts. The Capital Region is well connected to the surrounding economic hubs by air , rail, road, and ports.

Amaravati was a seat of Buddhism prior to the rise of Satavahanas, and a stupa and monastery were built there during the reign of Emperor Ashoka (269-232 BC) under Mauryan Empire.

The concept of land pooling was adopted where farmers/land owners (over and above 25,000 unique farmers) were appealed to pool their land (over and above 30,000 acres) to fulfil the land requirement to set up the people’s capital in Amaravati. In return, Govt. of Andhra Pradesh promised to give them developed plots (residential and commercial) in a proportionate ratio of land pooled by them as per the predefined guidelines. The Government made the people a partner in the development, rather than follow often coercive land acquisition. To make the process of distribution of developed plots completely transparent and unbiased, GoAP decided to adopt dynamic allocation of plots through a lottery system.
