A distinguished technocrat and retired IAS officer, Sonti Venkata Ratna Srinivas (IAS:1991:MH), has taken over as the Managing Director of the Amaravati Growth and Infrastructure Corporation Limited (AGICL). The order regarding his appointment had been issued on Dec 16, 2025. Srinivas has been hired for the special purpose of effectively implementing development projects in the Amaravati capital region.
Srinivas took charge at his office in the AP Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) building on Dec 17. He will be responsible for preparing detailed development plans for special projects based on the approved master plan, implementing projects, and operating and maintaining city-level services with the approval of APCRDA.
Having a veteran technocrat like Srinivas on board is considered to be no less than an achievement for the Chandrababu Naidu government. That is the reason why Srinivas has been given a free hand in selecting developers, contractors, and operators; collecting development charges, lease rentals, and user charges, and mobilising financial resources from the market in addition to government funding.
Telangana-born Srinivas is widely known for his expertise in urban infrastructure, technology, and public service, and he played crucial roles in Mumbai Metro, Dharavi Redevelopment, and AIIMS digital transformation. He also played a crucial role in building the famous Atal Setu in Patna.
AGICL has been constituted to handle special and large-scale development projects in the capital city area. The idea behind it is to ensure planned growth of Amravati.
