Prime Minister Narendra Modi will relaunch the works for the construction of Amaravati, capital city of Andhra Pradesh, besides laying foundation stone for various projects across the state, all worth ₹57,962 crore on Friday, an official statement said on Thursday.

According to the official schedule released by the state government, the PM will land at Vijayawada airport at Gannavaram at 2.55 pm. He will be received by chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan and senior officials.

In one of the largest single-day infrastructure announcements for the state, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation for and inaugurate a total of 94 projects worth ₹57,962 crore. These include capital city institutions, national highways, railway upgrades, and defence-related installations, the schedule said.

The CMO statement said at Amaravati, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation for 74 projects worth ₹49,000 crore, including the construction of the assembly, secretariat, high court, and judicial residential quarters.
