CM Reddy stated that a worldwide investors summit will be held there on March 3rd and 4th.

Additionally, CM Jagan Mohan Reddy said that Vizag, as the headquarters, will also serve as the governor's residence. However, the legislative branch will be based in Amaravati.

When Andhra Pradesh was separated from the previous state of Madras in 1956, Kurnool was designated as the new capital, and he had promised that the high court would move there.

Reddy thinks that distributing the locations of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government will promote equitable regional development.

His ardent supporters in the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress (YSRC) Party point out that it is inspired by the experiences of other capital cities despite the fact that there are no analogues to it in the nation.
