To manage the development and economic endeavours of the port city, the Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority (VUDA) was formed in June 1978. The VUDA’s jurisdiction covered over 1,721 sq kms, including the main Visakhapatnam and four surrounding towns, namely, Bheemunipatnam, Vizianagaram, Anakapalli and Gajuwaka.

The original VUDA was dissolved in 2018 to create the Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA), which essentially has the same responsibilities as the VUDA.

VUDA: How to verify if a plot is VUDA-certified?

  • While buying a new plot in Visakhapatnam, be careful not to purchase properties that are not certified by the city’s development authority.
  • When the VUDA approved a layout, it assigned a BLP number to the plot.
  • The BLP number is a provisional permission to develop infrastructure on the plot. It must not be misunderstood as permission to sell the properties.
  • If the seller has not developed the infrastructure in the plot, then the BLP number could be cancelled.
  • The VUDA can only approve a layout plan if it has street lighting, water supply facilities, and public open spaces, among other facilities.
