VIJAYAWADA, Andhra Pradesh, December 25, 2025 – Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has signaled a positive response to a proposal for the formation of the Greater Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (GVMC). The proposal, formally submitted by Vijayawada MP Kesineni Sivanath (Chinni) and Vijayawada East MLA Gadde Rammohan, aims to expand the existing Vijayawada Municipal Corporation limits by merging approximately 75 surrounding villages.

During a meeting held at the Andhra Pradesh Secretariat on Thursday, Mr. Sivanath emphasized the critical need for the GVMC to ensure sustainable and planned development in the region. He highlighted the potential for increased industrial corridors, IT parks, logistics hubs, and tourism investments, leading to significant job creation. Furthermore, the expansion would enable more effective implementation of integrated water supply and flood control measures.

The representatives also addressed administrative challenges arising from the division between NTR and Krishna districts, citing issues related to policing, transport, and law and order. They believe the GVMC would streamline governance and improve coordination in these crucial areas.
