History of CRDA
The VGTM Urban Development Authority (VGTM UDA) was formed in 1978 and expanded to include over 1,954 sq kms. The AP CRDA preceded the VGTM UDA after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. The APCRDA was then defunct and the Amaravati Metropolitan Development Authority was formed.
The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority Repeal Act 2020 was then passed, and the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority 2014 was revived. With this, the AP Metropolitan Development Authority again transferred its responsibilities to the APCRDA. Its primary purpose is to assure planning, coordination, execution, finance, and funding and promote and secure the capital region’s planned development. The APCRDA, chaired by the chief minister, has its independent set of duties and functions.
