New GIS Substation to Power Amaravati’s Growth

The 400/220 KV gas-insulated substation, established by the Transmission Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Limited (AP Transco), is designed to cater to the growing energy needs of the capital city and surrounding areas. Prior to this, Amaravati was dependent on power from the Tadikonda substation, but with the rapid expansion of the capital, the new GIS substation will provide stable power to Tullur, Mangalagiri, Tadepalli mandals, and even support the industries in Guntur and NTR districts.

CM Naidu laid the foundation for the new substation with a focus on creating a reliable infrastructure that will enable Amaravati to grow into a thriving metropolis. Additionally, the government has committed to completing other significant projects, including 11 new substations across the state, with a total investment of 6,098 crores, all expected to be completed within the next year.

Efforts to Resolve Land Pooling Dilemma

Along with the new infrastructure, Municipal Minister Narayana has been actively working to resolve issues related to land pooling for Amaravati’s development. The government faced challenges in the past when some farmers hesitated to participate in the land pooling process due to concerns and misconceptions. To address these doubts, Minister Narayana personally visited the residence of farmer Anumolu Gandhi in Vijayawada to explain the necessity of the capital and the government’s assurances regarding their concerns.

This proactive approach aims to boost farmer confidence and expedite the progress of Amaravati’s construction. The government is determined to overcome the hurdles and make Amaravati a world-class city.

Amaravati 2.0 – The Road Ahead

As the development of Amaravati progresses at full speed, CM Chandrababu Naidu emphasized that the city, once regarded as a barren desert, will soon transform into one of the leading cities in India. The comprehensive action plan spearheaded by the AP government is set to create a solid foundation for the capital’s growth, ensuring that the city is equipped with modern infrastructure, facilities, and opportunities for residents and businesses alike.

With a clear vision for Amaravati 2.0, the state is working tirelessly to bring the dream of a vibrant, well-planned capital to fruition. The collaboration of government officials and the support of the local farming community will be crucial in accelerating the city’s transformation into the jewel of Andhra Pradesh.

Minister Reddy, along with fellow ministers Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy and Seethakka, recently inspected the Devada project and set a firm deadline for its completion. By the end of March 2026, they aim to have all pending works of the project finalized, with plans to inaugurate it for the benefit of the people, as announced by Sonia Gandhi.

The ministers expressed their determination to overcome past obstacles and ensure the project’s timely execution. They criticized the previous government for impeding the progress of the irrigation department and engaging in corrupt practices. Minister Reddy highlighted the alleged mismanagement of funds and emphasized the need for transparency and efficiency in completing infrastructure projects.

With a focus on revitalizing the northern Telangana districts, the government is prioritizing the Devada upliftment scheme to enhance agricultural productivity and address water scarcity issues. The construction of the Sammakka Barrage will further bolster water supply, benefiting over 5.57 lakh acres of land.

The ministers underscored the contrast between their proactive approach and what they perceive as negligence on the part of the previous administration. They accused the former rulers of prioritizing personal gains over public welfare, citing instances of alleged corruption in major projects like Kaleswaram, Palamuru, Devada, and Sitarama.

In conclusion, the Congress government’s commitment to completing the Devada project within the specified timeframe reflects its dedication to rural development and sustainable water management in Telangana.

Regarding aviation, the CM advocated for the construction of airports/airstrips in locations such as Dagadarthi, Kuppam, Nagarjuna Sagar, and Mulapeta. He expressed disappointment that these projects, despite having received approval and completed land acquisition previously, were halted by the YSRC government, urging officials to resume and expedite the construction of these airports.

Highlighting the need for 12 to 14 airports/airstrips in AP, he proposed exploring options for additional airport development in Tadipatri and Tuni, while also pushing for the establishment of a unit of the Flying Training Organization at Kurnool airport. The CM instructed officials to devise projects enabling cargo transportation from airports, citing the potential benefits of linking air and sea ports with national highways for employment opportunities and state development.

Furthermore, the Chief Minister directed officials to incorporate the AP Aviation Corporation within the general administration department and the AP Digital Corporation within the Information and Public Relations department. He recommended merging the AP Towers Corporation into AP FiberNet Ltd.

Addressing the decline in fibernet connections from nine lakh to five lakh due to service quality issues during the 2019-24 period, he criticized the mismanagement by the YSRC government, resulting in a debt burden of 1,258 crores. The CM urged the restoration of the AP Drone Corporation, AP Towers Corporation, and the Gas Infrastructure Corporation, emphasizing the completion of Real Time Governance centers and their integration with the CC camera network.
