Vijayawada is planning to establish organised street food hubs to enhance the street food vending experience while ensuring hygiene and convenience. The initiative, part of the Centre’s Pradhan Mantri Street Vendor's Atmanirbhar Nidhi (PMSVANidhi) scheme, is currently in the planning phase with three key locations identified. One of these is near the Government General Hospital, chosen for its high foot traffic. Local leaders, including Vijayawada MP Kesineni Chinni and MLA Gadde Ramamohan, have expressed support for this project. Additionally, two hubs are proposed as part of a long-term vision for riverfront development along the Krishna river. The hubs will offer designated vending spaces for street food vendors, who will only need to pay a nominal annual license fee of ₹200, eliminating traditional rent costs. Facilities will include CCTV surveillance, washrooms, drinking water, and proper waste management. The Street Vending Committee will oversee the operation of these hubs, aiming to transition from unregulated roadside vending to organised food spaces, thereby improving urban management and public hygiene in Vijayawada.
