Andhra Pradesh Government Chief Secretary and Special CS (Energy) K. Vijayanand has ordered the AP-Capital Region Development Authority (AP-CRDA) and AP-Transco to speed up the re-routing of 400 kV and 220 kV Extra High Tension (EHT) transmission lines in Amaravati's core capital area. The directive came during a progress review meeting on January 24. Mr. Vijayanand urged officials to carry out the work in a planned and systematic way, strictly following approved schedules. He said, "Issues that might be encountered during execution should be immediately discussed and resolved through inter-departmental coordination." The Chief Secretary emphasized that the government is giving special priority to Amaravati’s development projects. Officials explained that the re-routing project is a deposit-funded work, aligned with the CRDA’s approved planning framework and involves consultations with all stakeholders. The new transmission line paths are designed to bypass core development zones and follow green buffers and main road corridors as per the master plan. Key officials present at the meeting included CRDA Commissioner K. Kannababu, AP-Transco Joint Managing Director G. Surya Sai Praveenchand, and others involved in the project. The goal is to ensure continuous field-level monitoring, close coordination, and timely completion of this critical infrastructure work to support Amaravati's rapid growth.
