• He pledged to complete about ₹50,000 crore of Amaravati works within three years, targeting 2028, and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi would inaugurate the capital.
• Naidu framed Amaravati as a monetisation-led project and said land is needed for initiatives such as a Quantum Valley and top-tier universities.
• The government will run 17 proposed medical colleges on a PPP model within the next three years as part of the broader buildout.
