Andhra Pradesh Capital Region (ISO: Āndhra Pradēś Rājadhāni Prāntaṁ) is the metropolitan area of the capital city of Andhra Pradesh in India. The region is spread across the districts of Krishna, Guntur, Palnadu, NTR, Bapatla and Eluru. It includes the major cities of Vijayawada and Guntur. Vijayawada is the largest city and headquarters of the region. It is one the most populated metropolitan areas in Andhra Pradesh.[3] The region is under the jurisdiction of Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority and covers an area of 8,603 km2 (3,322 sq mi) under 58 mandals.[4] The capital city Amaravati is an urban notified area and will cover 217.23 km2 (83.87 sq mi), within the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region.[5]

Background[edit | edit source]

Further information: Amaravati and Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority

After the bifurcation of United Andhra Pradesh, the newly formed Government of Andhra Pradesh constituted the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority in 2014 and the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region was formed with a extent of 7,319 km2 (2,826 sq mi). The limits of the region was expanded on 22 September 2015, which resulted in addition and removal of the mandals and villages taking the total area to 8,603 km2 (3,322 sq mi).[6][7][8] As of 1 August 2020, government of Andhra Pradesh proposed three capitals, which are Visakhapatnam as the executive capital, Amaravati as the legislative capital, and Kurnool as the judicial capital, but the process was cancelled and reverted back to the original 2014 plan of a singular capital city at Amaravati on 22 November 2021.[9]

Administration and Jurisdiction[edit | edit source]

The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority is responsible for the administration and governance of the entire region under the Department of Municipal Administration and Urban Development of Andhra Pradesh.

The region is partially spread across 6 districts and subdivided into 8 zones for administrative purposes.[1] It consists of 33 complete and 25 part mandals, totaling 58 mandals with 3 municipal corporations, 10 municipalities and 1006 gram panchayats spanning across 953 revenue villages.[10][11][6][12]
