CPWD Floats ₹1,083 Crore Tender for 1,504 Government Housing Units in Amaravati

The project includes planning, designing and construction of 600 Type-II, 600 Type-III, 228 Type-IV, 56 Type-V and 20 Type-VI residential units along with an ancillary building, a common double basement, sewage treatment plant, electrical substations and other supporting infrastructure.

The Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi had approved the GPRA project on June 10, describing it as the first General Pool Residential Accommodation project in Amaravati and Andhra Pradesh. The project aims to provide residential facilities for central government employees posted in the state’s new capital and support the establishment of permanent central government infrastructure in the region.

The 17-acre campus will have a built-up area of about 31.3 lakh square feet across 11 residential towers, with 1,972 equivalent car parking spaces and community facilities including a guest house, crèche, bank, post office and shopping complex.

The planned development will also include green building features, with the structures targeted to achieve a minimum 4-Star GRIHA rating. The government had estimated that the project would generate around seven lakh man-days of employment annually during construction and about 50,000 man-days annually during operation.

The CPWD tender marks a major step towards implementing the government’s approved residential infrastructure project in Amaravati, which is designed to strengthen housing facilities for central government employees and support the development of the new capital
