The Andhra Pradesh government on Monday said it has approved road infrastructure works worth Rs 2,723 crore in greenfield capital Amaravati. Municipal Minister P Narayana said these funds will be deployed for building layout roads in Amaravati zone - 7 and 10.

"Funds for works worth Rs 47,288 crore were approved until now during Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) meetings for the development of Amaravati," said Narayana, addressing a press conference at the secretariat.

According to the Minister, approval for some of the remaining works will be given within this month.

He highlighted that the loans taken for Amaravati will be repaid by selling the land pooled for the greenfield capital city from farmers.
