The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet on Thursday approved 34 proposals, such as a new aviation policy, implementation of an organ transplantation law, revised funding for the Polavaram Left Main Canal project, and development of the proposed Amaravati Eye tourism initiative.
It also cleared several land allotments for renewable energy and industrial ventures.
The decisions were taken at the 50th Cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu at the state Secretariat.
"The Cabinet approved 34 proposals covering multiple sectors, including irrigation, urban development, industries, healthcare, renewable energy, and rural development," said Information and Public Relations Minister K Parthasarathi at a press conference.
Among the major approvals, the Cabinet cleared revised administrative sanction of Rs 796 crore for Packages 5 and 5A of the Polavaram Left Main Canal project, involving canal excavation, embankment formation, canal lining, and related works between kilometre 93.7 and kilometre 111.
The Cabinet approved administrative sanction of Rs 547 crore for external development works at the High Court complex in Amaravati, including parking facilities, security pavilions, internal roads, substations, water bodies, and other infrastructure.
Another key decision was approval of the Andhra Pradesh Aviation Policy 2026-31 aimed at expanding airport infrastructure, enhancing passenger and cargo capacity, improving connectivity, and attracting aerospace and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) investments.
According to the policy, the state aims to increase passenger handling capacity from 6.2 million to 30.38 million and air cargo capacity from 6,240 tonnes to 4.27 lakh tonnes by 2035, while also developing nine new airports and 10 waterdromes.
