Amaravati LPS rules: the 2015 and 2025 rules side by side
The Capital City still runs under the 2015 rules. The 2025 Capital Region rules apply outside it. The standard patta rates are the same in both. You still need to confirm which scheme covers your land, which category it falls in, and how it will be approved.

Read the old ebook alongside the rules
The Phase 1 rules came with a Telugu ebook on plot choices and building limits. Our LPS learning centre puts it into simple English, with joint applications and TDR explained.
The LPS calculator lets you switch between the 2015 package and the 2025 rates. The building-area calculator uses the ebook's historical table, which the 2025 rules do not automatically carry over.
The two rule books, compared
| Item | 2015 rules (Phase 1) | 2025 rules (Phase 2) |
|---|---|---|
| Legal name | Andhra Pradesh Capital City Land Pooling Scheme (Formulation and Implementation) Rules, 2015 | Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Land Pooling Scheme Rules, 2025; G.O.Ms.No.118 dated 1 July 2025 |

Decisions added on top of the rules since then
- 3 August 2024. Phase 1 farmers were given five more years of the yearly payment and the pension, and CRDA's area was restored to 8,352.69 sq km.
- Later in 2024. A higher rate of ₹40,000 for dry land, for farmers signing on or after 12 June 2024.
- 5 July 2025. CRDA approved pooling 20,494 acres across seven villages.
- 7 July 2026. The ₹40,000 was confirmed for anyone who pooled after June 2024, ₹10,000 a year was approved for the loss of village common land, loans were waived in the new villages, and the authority set out how it would deal with owners who would not come in.
What did not change
The area you get back per acre did not change. Joining is still your choice. And the authority can still acquire, under the land acquisition law, any land it needs from an owner who will not join.
So if anyone tells you the 2025 rules hand out a bigger plot per acre, they are wrong. The extra is in the welfare, and in the higher yearly rate for those who signed after June 2024.
Questions people ask
Did the 2025 rules give bigger plots?
For standard patta land, the listed per-acre rates match: 1,000 sq yd residential plus 250 sq yd commercial for dry land, or 450 sq yd commercial for jareebu. Confirm the correct category under the applicable scheme. Matching plot rates do not confirm matching building limits.
When did the 2025 rules come out?
G.O.Ms.No.118 is dated 1 July 2025. It contains the Capital Region Land Pooling Scheme Rules, 2025. News reports followed in early July.
