Economic Survey Gives Strong Push to Amaravati

The Union Economic Survey has given a major boost to Andhra Pradesh’s capital city Amaravati, highlighting it as a model greenfield city and a strong example for future urban development in India. At a time when political debates continue around the capital, the Survey’s observations have brought national and international attention back to Amaravati’s potential.
According to the Economic Survey 2025–26, India is at a crucial stage where well-planned new cities are essential for sustainable growth. The report clearly underlines the need for greenfield urban development and cites Amaravati as one of the best examples of how future cities should be designed. It notes that Amaravati has rare advantages in terms of planning, land availability, and long-term urban vision.
The Survey also points out that cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad grew without proper long-term planning, which has now resulted in traffic congestion, drainage issues, and limited scope for expansion. In contrast, Amaravati has been designed as a modern, environmentally sustainable city with scope for expansion and efficient infrastructure. This, the report says, makes it a model for future urban development across the country.
The recognition from the Economic Survey has come as a major morale booster for Amaravati, especially at a time when political criticism continues from YSR Congress leaders. Experts say the Survey’s observations carry significant weight, as it is closely studied by policymakers, investors, and global financial institutions.
International agencies such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank have already extended financial support to Amaravati’s development. With the Centre also backing the project, the city is steadily gaining global attention. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is also making efforts to attract global technology and investment firms, aiming to position Amaravati as a future-ready urban hub.
Economists believe the Survey’s strong endorsement will further improve Amaravati’s brand value at both national and international levels. They say the findings send a clear message that well-planned cities like Amaravati are the need of the hour for India’s long-term economic and urban growth.
