Special vehicle approvals were cleared for the international airport and other major projects. Land worth Rs 100 crore was allocated to SRM and VIT for medical, dental, and paramedical colleges. The Authority also sanctioned Rs 904 crore for infrastructure development in Amaravati villages.

Funds were allocated for key civic works, including Rs 64.35 crore for drinking water and Rs 110 crore for sewerage facilities. Road development received Rs 339.04 crore, while Rs 12.25 crore was set aside for street lights along with seven-year operations and maintenance.
