The undivided state has embarked on water projects in the country called Jalayagnam with an estimated cost of nearly US$ 20 billion. This water management program was introduced in 2009 to bring a larger parcel of land in the undivided Andhra Pradesh under irrigation. Currently, out of the 29 major irrigation projects in Seemandhra, 10 are completed and 14 projects are ongoing. Moreover, of the 63 medium irrigation projects, 50 are completed and 11 are ongoing.

The state is well connected through the rail network. Visakhapatnam, the largest city in the state, has rail accessibility to nine district headquarters out of 13 in the new state. The city is also well connected to the neighbouring states of Odisha and Chhattisgarh. The state is also planning to form a separate railway zone, namely South Coast Railway, with Vizag as its headquarter. Vizag is proposed to be the headquarter of the zone as the region houses major industrial as well as commercial establishments and is a busy railway junction in terms of passenger and freight traffic. The new zone will consist of Waltair Division of the East Coast Railway (ECoR) as well as Vijayawada, Guntur and Guntakal divisions of South Central Railway. The government has also planned to set up a high speed train between Hyderabad and the new capital city to ease traffic movement between the two states.



PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE – RAILWAYS & METRO RAIL

The Union Government has also planned to develop metro rail projects at three locations in the state, including Visakhapatnam, Guntur and Vijayawada. The Visakhapatnam project, estimated to cost US$ 833.3 million, will develop four important routes that are not well connected currently.

According to the Director General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), Andhra Pradesh has huge oil and natural gas reserves. The state’s Krishna-Godavari basin, spread over an area of nearly 52,000 sq km, has a total hydrocarbon resource base of 1,130 million metric tonnes. Andhra Pradesh is the second Indian state, after Gujarat, to enter the oil and gas exploration and production segment through bids for oil and gas blocks under the central government’s New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP). The Andhra Pradesh government decided to enter the oil and gas exploration and development sector and set up a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), the Andhra Pradesh Gas Infrastructure Corp Limited (APGIC), as a joint venture between two state owned entities. The infrastructure provider for industries in the state, Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC), owns 51.0 per cent in the SPV and the remaining is held by AP Genco. APGIC secured four blocks under auction as part of a consortium led by ONGC. APGIC owns 10 per cent in the consortium, while other partners ONGC, British Gas and Oil India hold 40 per cent, 35 per cent and 15 per cent, respectively. Recently, the DGH has earmarked a stretch of more than 39,000 sq km in Kadapa district in Rayalaseema region as a potential exploration site for natural resources. This region is most likely to be lined up for bidding in the upcoming rounds of NELP. The newly elected government of the state is committed to make the state one of the top 20 places for work and business with easy clearances and less hindrances, as oil and gas is a top priority in the Make in India initiative of newly elected PM Mr Narendra Modi.

Andhra Pradesh is the first state in the country to have enacted the Industrial Single Window Clearance Act No 17 of 2002. The Act made it compulsory for new industries to register with the single-window to obtain clearances quickly. It also simplified procedures for getting industrial clearances. Committees were constituted at district and state levels to communicate to the applicant the status of their clearances. It has set time slots for issuing clearances and incorporated a provision for deemed approval after the expiry of the time limit. District level committees can clear investments not exceeding US$ 219,442. State level committees can clear those exceeding US$ 219,442. Above the district and state level committees is an empowered committee headed by the Chief Secretary of the state government, who reviews and monitors disposal of applications. Overall, a State Board under the chairmanship of the Chief Minister oversees the progress of the scheme. The maximum time taken to issue clearance of applications at all stages is 45 days. Violation of the provisions of the Act made either through self-assessment or otherwise would invite a penalty of US$ 109 in the first instance and US$ 219 in the second instance.
