Amaravati Bill Forwarded To President of India For Assent

The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, formally recognizing Amaravati as the sole and permanent capital of Andhra Pradesh was passed by the Parliament on April 2. 

With both the Houses passing the Bill after nearly five hours of discussion, it has been forwarded to the President of India for her approval, as per the standard procedure followed for any legislation to become a



law.

As the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha had already approved it, the assent of President of India Draupadi Murmu is just a formality. 

However, the President would examine the Bill and make consultations with legal experts before giving a nod. 

Once the resolution gets officially signed by Murmu, Amaravati will officially be declared the sole and permanent capital of Andhra Pradesh.
