The Andhra Pradesh government is taking significant steps to develop a comprehensive administrative and institutional framework for Amaravati, which has recently been granted statutory status as the state capital. The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) is currently inviting tenders for a consulting firm to design this administrative model, with proposals due by April 16. The selected consultant will create a roadmap to facilitate Amaravati's transition into a fully operational capital city. This framework will involve drafting new laws tailored to the capital's administration, amending existing legal provisions, and ensuring financial sustainability through private investments and Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). The consultant will assess Amaravati's financial position, including asset values and liabilities, to recommend user charges, taxes, and revenue mechanisms essential for governance. The roadmap will be structured in three phases: construction, operations, and management, leading to a formal governance structure once the city is developed. Additionally, the plan will emphasize digital governance and establish a dedicated human resources policy to enhance the capital's administration.
