The master plan for the proposed capital city of Amaravati, while providing a long-term direction factoring the projected growth in population, seeks to provide robust linkages to ports and two industrial corridors to Chennai and Vizag respectively.
According to government sources, it has been indicated that the master plan and the Capital Region Plan, the latter submitted in March 2015, are proposed to be implemented over four phases, with the first phase likely to be completed by 2019.
The capital city, coming up on the river front, envisages development of growth corridors which would serve as hubs in attracting new investments.
