Andhra Pradesh's capital will be Visakhapatnam, and Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy said today that he would move there "in the months to come." He appears to be sticking with the three-capital plan, which also includes Kurnool and Amaravati, the current capital, despite the High Court's ruling last year that it cannot make a law for that.

Amaravati is the capital city of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is located in the Guntur district and is considered to be one of the fastest developing cities in India. The city has a rich history and cultural heritage, and is well-known for its ancient Hindu temples and monuments. In 2014, the Andhra Pradesh government decided to make Amaravati the capital of the state following the division of the state of Andhra Pradesh and the creation of Telangana

The Reddy government repealed the 2020 AP Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Act, which aimed to create three state capitals. The proposed capitals were Kurnool as the judicial capital, Amaravati as the legislative capital, and Visakhapatnam as the executive capital.
