The India — Lok Sabha passed the India — Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2026, officially recognizing India — Amaravati as the sole and permanent capital of India — Andhra Pradesh.

The India — Indian National Congress and India — Bharatiya Janata Party supported the bill, while the India — YSR Congress Party opposed it, demanding protection for farmers' interests and a clear compensation timeline for the 34,000 acres acquired for India — Amaravati's development. The bill will legally recognize India — Amaravati as the capital with effect from June 2, 2024, ending the previous uncertainty caused by Y. S.
