NEW DELHI: Parliament has passed a landmark bill declaring Amaravati as the sole and permanent capital of Andhra Pradesh, putting an end to years of political uncertainty over the state’s administrative hub.
The legislation reinforces the vision backed by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and his party, ensuring that future governments cannot alter the capital decision. The move is seen as a major boost for infrastructure development and investor confidence in the region.
The bill also effectively nullifies previous attempts by earlier administrations to propose multiple capitals, restoring clarity in governance and long-term planning.
Political observers believe the decision will accelerate urban development in Amaravati and strengthen Andhra Pradesh’s economic prospects.
