The Andhra Pradesh Government is considering naming the new capital city planned near Vijayawada-Guntur region as Amaravathi, based on the historical Buddhist site along Krishna river. While the Government has taken a decision on the move to name the new capital as Amaravathi, a formal announcement is likely to be made soon. N Chandrababu Naidu Government has initiated the land pooling process and has thus far managed to get consent for 33,000 acres for the proposed new capital city.
