The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) has partnered with the Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) to develop an integrated green energy infrastructure in Amaravati, with a focus on sustainable mobility and low-carbon energy solutions.
An MoU to this effect was signed at the APCRDA headquarters in Rayapudi on Tuesday. APCRDA Commissioner V. Vijay Rama Raju and IOCL Executive Director and State Head (Telangana and Andhra Pradesh State office) Piyush Mittal exchanged the agreement documents.
The partnership envisages exploring and developing city gas distribution networks, including piped natural gas (PNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG), battery-swapping stations, compressed biogas, green hydrogen and other low-carbon energy solutions.
As part of the initiative, the two organisations will prepare an Integrated Energy Master Plan to assess Amaravati's present and future energy requirements and develop sustainable transport and mobility infrastructure. The agreement also envisages establishing modern multi-fuel energy stations and utility corridors equipped with smart energy management systems to improve commuter convenience.
A Joint Working Group comprising representatives of both organisations will oversee implementation, conduct technical studies and prepare Detailed Project Reports (DPRs).
Senior IOCL officials and APCRDA Economic Development Department representatives attended the programme.
