Grand Projects
A decade after its grand inauguration, Prime Minister Narendra Modi ceremonially relaunched the Amaravati Capital Project on May 2, marking a fresh push to revive what was once envisioned as a futuristic state capital.

In 2015, Amaravati was announced as Andhra Pradesh’s new capital with much fanfare, promising world-class infrastructure and economic growth. However, political shifts, funding delays and legal disputes left the project in limbo.
Now, with a renewed commitment of Rs 65,000 crore, the Union and state governments aim to breathe life back into the ambitious venture.
These delays raise questions about the government’s ability to deliver on its promises. With the Amaravati Capital City Project poised for another restart in 2025, the public is left to wonder whether the government’s infrastructure ambitions are truly about building a better India, or just laying foundation stones for the sake of optics.

The National Green Tribunal (NGT), India’s apex green court, ruled that it would not “interfere” with the forest and environment clearances accorded to the Rs 72,000 crore-mega infrastructure project in India’s Great Nicobar Island, which conservationists have said will affect indigenous communities and damage the fragile ecology and biodiversity of the Island. https://thewire.in/environment/ngt-great-nicobar-project-disappointing
The mega project involves diverting 130 square kilometres of forest, to construct several developmental projects including a transshipment terminal, a township and an airport. It will also affect the indigenous Shompen and Nicobarese communities living on the island.
