Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu virtually lays foundation stones for development works within the Tirupati Urban Development Authority limits from Amaravati on Monday.

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday virtually launched development projects worth ₹3,222 crore to transform Tirupati into a world-class spiritual destination, with a focus on pilgrim amenities, modern infrastructure and environmental sustainability.

The centrepiece of the initiative is an integrated pilgrim township near the Alipiri–SV Zoo Park Road, envisaged as a one-stop facility providing accommodation, annaprasadam, transport, parking, healthcare, security and digital information services.

The township will have 2,700 rooms across four 10-storey blocks at a cost of ₹1,332 crore, accommodating around 15,000 pilgrims daily. An annaprasadam centre, capable of serving 6,000 devotees at a time, will be built at ₹160 crore. Multi-level parking for 4,500 vehicles and an integrated transport terminal with 30 bus bays will be developed at ₹311 crore and ₹90 crore, respectively. A Pilgrim Experience Centre showcasing the history and traditions of the Srivari temple is also planned.
