Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) is partnering with Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) to develop integrated green energy infrastructure in Amaravati with a focus on sustainable mobility and low carbon energy solutions.

An MoU was signed at the APCRDA headquarters in Rayapudi on Tuesday. APCRDA Commissioner V Vijay Rama Raju and IOCL Managing Director and State Head (Telangana and Andhra Pradesh State Office) Piyush Mittal exchanged the agreement documents.

The partnership envisages the exploration and development of urban gas distribution networks, including piped natural gas (PNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG), battery exchange stations, compressed biogas, green hydrogen and other low-carbon energy solutions.

As part of this initiative, the two organizations will prepare an integrated energy master plan that will assess Amaravati’s current and future energy requirements and develop a sustainable transport and mobility infrastructure. The agreement also envisages the establishment of modern multi-fuel power stations and utility corridors equipped with intelligent energy management systems to improve commuting comfort.

A joint working group composed of representatives from both organizations will oversee implementation, conduct technical studies and prepare detailed project reports (DPRs).

The program was attended by senior officials of IOCL and representatives of the Economic Development Department of APCRDA.
