Andhra Pradesh Government Releases New Map With 28 Districts
The Andhra Pradesh government has issued a revised administrative map of the state, expanding the total number of districts to 28. The new map confirms Amaravati as the state capital and reflects recent administrative changes undertaken by the government.
The update includes the addition of two newly formed districts — Polavaram and Markapuram — taking the total district count from 26 to 28. The move marks a further restructuring of district boundaries in the state.
Expansion Beyond Previous District Reorganisation
Earlier, the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government had reorganised the state from 13 districts into 26 districts. This restructuring was aimed at improving administrative reach and decentralisation of governance.
The present government, led by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, has now expanded the number further by introducing two additional districts. The latest map reflects these changes and serves as the official administrative reference for the state.

Administrative Significance of New Districts
The creation of Polavaram and Markapuram districts is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to streamline governance and bring administrative units closer to people. With the increase in districts, officials are expected to manage resources and public services more efficiently across regions.
The updated map also aligns with the government’s broader administrative strategy, following earlier district-level restructuring carried out in the state.
Background of District Reorganisation in Andhra Pradesh
Andhra Pradesh originally functioned with 13 districts for several years. The YSRCP government had doubled the number to 26 districts as part of a major administrative overhaul.
With the latest addition of two more districts, the total now stands at 28, marking another phase in the state’s evolving administrative framework.
The newly released map is expected to be used for governance, planning, and administrative coordination across departments.
